How Can Someone Help If They’re Not Called to Adopt?

“Not everyone is called to adopt, but everyone is called to care.”

When we think about orphan care, it’s easy to assume adoption is the only way to make a difference. But the truth is, God uses each of us in unique ways — and together, our individual acts of compassion create a powerful impact for children in need around the world.

At Connected Hearts Ministry, we’ve seen that even the smallest acts of kindness can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Whether it’s praying, giving, or advocating, every role matters in helping orphans experience the love of a family and the hope of Christ.

🙏 1. Pray for a Child or Family

Prayer is one of the most powerful ways to get involved. You can pray for:

A specific adoptive or foster family
A child waiting for adoption
Medical teams caring for orphans with urgent needs
God’s protection and provision for children in foster care

Your prayers truly make a difference — we’ve seen hearts softened, doors opened, and children united with families through the power of prayer.

💌 2. Give Financially

You can directly impact a child’s life through your giving.

Support a family on their adoption journey to help cover fees and expenses.
Provide for a medical need, giving an orphan access to life-saving care.
Support our foster care programs, which supply “Connect Cases” filled with essential comfort items for children entering foster care.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps bring hope, healing, and the possibility of family.

📣 3. Advocate and Spread the Word

Use your voice to raise awareness!

Share about Connected Hearts Ministry with your church, small group, or online community. When you help others learn about the needs of orphans and the work God is doing, you help inspire more hearts to take action.

If you’re interested in sharing our mission, email us at info@connectedheartsministry.org — we’d be happy to provide ideas, graphics, and resources you can use to help spread the word in your community or online.

📚 4. Learn and Educate Yourself

Take time to learn about God’s heart for orphans through Scripture:

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”

– Psalm 82:3

Read stories about orphans, families, and the global orphan crisis to better understand how prayer, giving, and advocacy can transform lives.

💞 5. Encourage a Family on Their Journey

You can also come alongside a family who is adopting or fostering:

Offer to babysit or bring a meal
Send notes of encouragement
Celebrate milestones in their journey

Your support helps sustain families who are living out God’s call in practical, sacrificial ways.

🌍 Endless Ways to Make a Difference

These are just a few ways to get involved — but there are endless opportunities to care for vulnerable children and support families. Whether you give, pray, share, or serve, your involvement makes a lasting impact.

At Connected Hearts Ministry, we believe that when the Body of Christ comes together in love and purpose, children’s lives are transformed, and hope is restored. ❤️
