Jesus Christ said, “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me” (Matthew 18:5, NIV). Children have open hands and a nature that easily trusts and receives. This makes them vulnerable. These treasured creatures created in the image of God are the focus of the attacks of Satan. He sees it as his greatest opportunity to damage the image of God. Children are indeed suffering; victims of war, sexual abuse, child labor, divorce, diseases, orphaned and suffering loss. The nurturing homes that should be there for children are often found to be broken. They are in need of being welcomed in the Name of Christ.
