Orphan Sunday

In 2003, during the height of the AIDS crisis, a Zambian pastor pleaded for his congregation to care for the AIDS orphans in their community, and they responded with overwhelming generosity. The movement spread, and in time, it reached the United States where the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) began promoting Orphan Sunday in the U.S. Today, hundreds of churches around the world unite on the second Sunday of November to remember the orphan and to encourage their people to care for them in Christ’s name.
