A number of folks have asked me for recommendations for videos related to orphan care, adoption, and foster care. In no particular order here are some of my favorites:

Freed to Visit Orphans
Our T4A 2010 video connects the glory of the Gospel (i.e., the treasure that Jesus is) with the current global orphan crisis. The video’s quotations come from Dan Cruver’s article“The Orphan Crisis: Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be”
