There is a healthy debate going on now about whether people ought to be taught how to start orphanages or not. On the Orphan Care Movement blog, this discussion was ignited by a post I wrote a few days ago advertising a course in which I teach people how to start an orphanage. Some argue that all orphanages need to be closed. Others argue that there is a role for orphanages. In this video podcast, I answer a question from a dear sister in Christ, Jessica, who is laboring right now in Africa doing the Lord’s work. Jessica had some concerns about the wisdom of teaching people how to “start an orphanage”. I think my response could benefit others interested in these matters.
