Help Widows, Orphans, Aliens, and the Oppressed
“Help Widows, Orphans, Aliens, and the Oppressed”
This is one area which “GOD” expects us to reach out and help. It doesn’t matter who, where, or what country you are from…. we are to help the poor and the ones who are not able to provide for their families.
My husband, he is against this, because some organizations do not do what they say they will with the funds. He has a strict belief in not helping, there are times I do this behind his back, and that is wrong of me because I am to honor my husband.
I have listed some verses where GOD says we are to help, so please if you know of any places which DO for sure, take the funds and give them to help the elderly, poor families and children, please let me know and I will list them on a separate page!
