“Orphans”
I was at a Mexican orphanage, and after being there for some time, I finally asked the executive director “how did all these kids' parents die?” and he said, “They're not dead.”
He said, “They are kids who've been abused, neglected and abandoned… some of the parents are in prison or in prostitution and in almost every case bad addiction is involved. And my wife said, “Oh my gosh, these are the same kids here in the States, but we just call them something different." And that was a real lightbulb moment and she realized “I can fulfill God's purpose in my life where I live in every county in the United States are kids who need that help.”
