God, Forgive Us All

Here's something to ponder.
To weep over.
To fast for.

TO ACT ON.

# of Orphans in Ukraine: approximately 103,000 - 105,000

Orphans in the USA+Orphans in Ukraine = (approx.) 207,236

348,067 - 207,236 = 140,831 more 'churches' than 'orphans' from two countries. Not 140,831 more "Christians" than orphans.

A huge problem could be easily solved.
