Chris.
Orphans should not have their hopes crushed. Those Churches and Missionaries that are ministering to orphans need to be very compassionate and caring for these orphans. They should never be treated unjustly but they should be loved as owned children. We are not doing orphans a favour by looking after them but we should see them as just as much a Gift from God as our own children.
