According to Aaron Coe, a VP at our North American Mission Board, over half of new church plants are orphans. They have no sponsoring church.
This statistic stunned me. Something is wrong here. This problem is fixable. Every church should be working with at least one church plant.
Few churches can take full responsibility for a young church, but consortiums of churches could totally fill the bill. Few congregations can help a lot, but all can help some. Let's all find an orphan church to adopt.
