Hope for the WOF House

Tonight I went to the creative event at Believe LA Church. I saw a panel of famous music producers, actresses and producers talk about their fame and the walk with God in it. Then I got home, opened my instagram with intent just a leave a note and say thank you to them but the post on my home page grabbed my attention; Angel Studios.

I had just discussed this with the producer lady as she was walking out. I told her about my book and that I’d been turned away by many because my story has too much God and Jesus stuff for Hollywood. She told me to research production companies that take faith based film stories.

So with this in mind I clicked on the link and started filling out a form for my “series” of the story I’m not even sure God wants for me to write. But a title caught my attention for a film project called Hope. It’s a true story where a woman talked a church in east Texas into adopting 77 kids that were in an adoption ring. These children were abused and some even being pimped out for sex. There was violence and drama and one line that caught my attention and hit me in the chest was,…

There are over 400,000 kids in the adoption system and ironically approximately 400,000 churches who sitting around doing nothing about this – lifting up the NAME OF JESUS every Sunday.

Meanwhile James 1:26 says the only religion undefiled before God our Father (that doesn’t make him want to puke) is to care for the fatherless and orphans and defend the widows.

If every church in this country just adopted 1 kid per church we’d end the orphan crisis in this country.

And as for the widows; that word means woman without a husband (it’s not a woman who’s husband died). These women are the uncovered and defenseless who end up getting raked over my all kinds of evil because they have no support or protection. Meanwhile the church often takes the position of calling these women filthy, prostitutes and turning them away as the root of all they call sin in the name of their marriage-based sermons.

Who he calls he qualifies – I’ve had to suffer in both of these roles to see the truth of how the fatherless and the widows are treated by society and sadly the ones who call themselves the “church”.

I cried and told God, I can’t do anything about this. I have no means to help. He said to me, when I put you in position, do not lose focus of the mission.

Heavenly Father, I will not.
