Christian Alliance for Orphans Matching Gift Campaign Through December 31
The Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) is inviting readers to give during the period ending December 31, when gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $505,000. The post explains that the match comes from a group of dedicated CAFO champions, and it frames the appeal around the fact that millions of children live without the care and protection of a family.
The author points to the work of CAFO’s more than 330 member organizations, which, the post says, work together to help children experience God’s love. The post describes CAFO’s aim as inspiring and equipping God’s people to live out the pure religion described in James 1:27, which it presents as caring for orphans and widows in their distress while keeping oneself from being polluted by the world. It describes this as a call to a way of life that is distinct from the world and marked by self-giving service.
The post also says that gifts help multiply a movement of believers committed to children and families around the world. It notes that all CAFO administration costs are covered by sponsors, membership, and other sources, so that every donation goes toward initiatives that support effective care for children. The list of specific initiatives in the original post did not come through in the source text, so those details are not described here.
The post closes with an invitation to give and an offer of help for questions about CAFO, the match, or a gift. It also promotes a set of free mini books on foster care, adoption, and global orphan care for churches.
