"I in them and you in me"

I was researching a little on our website [http://www.worldorphans.org/] and came across this. Reading through it, I was convicted and I physically ached for these precious ones.

Most children are under the age of fifteen and are…

Sleeping on concrete beds and rancid garbage piles every night – streets, sewers, dumps
Scavenging amongst human waste and excreta for rotting morsels and scraps to eat
Huffing glue and other substances in order to numb the cold, hunger, pain…and shame
Prostituting themselves for basic food and shelter
Trafficked and sold into sexual bondage, even at five years old and younger
Abused and brutalized by sexual predators, local gangs, corrupt police officers, and slum lords
Victimized by HIV/AIDS-infected men who believe that sleeping with young virgins can cure the disease
Recruited into lives of thievery, smuggling and drug dealing
Abducted to serve as child soldiers or the sex slaves of soldiers
Exploited as child laborers or slaves in sweatshops
Executed by local businessmen and officials who view them as a dirty pests interfering with trade and commerce
Sacrificed in occult/witchcraft rituals
Robbed of childhoods;
Robbed of self esteem;
Robbed of innocence;
Robbed of hope

I think the majority of us in America assume that this is “too big” or we tend to feel disconnected from it all that we assume there's nothing we can do. Margaret Mead said "Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

“I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”John 17:22-23
