Pray and Care. Together for Children and Families.

Thursday, 8 October 2026
12:00 to 13:00 UTC (8:00 to 9:00 a.m. New York time)

Help Your Church Prepare for Orphan Sunday

Join World Without Orphans for a special online webinar designed to inspire and equip churches, Christian networks, movements, and partner organizations to participate in Orphan Sunday 2026.

Orphan Sunday is a unique opportunity for churches of every size and tradition to raise awareness, pray, and take practical action for orphaned and vulnerable children and their families. It is more than one day on the calendar. It can be a starting point for churches to reflect God’s heart for the fatherless, strengthen families, support caregivers, and bring the hope of the Gospel to vulnerable children and families.

During This Webinar, You Will:

  • Hear inspiring stories from churches and leaders in different nations
  • Discover simple and practical ways for churches to participate
  • Explore the Orphan Sunday toolkit and communication resources
  • Learn how Orphan Sunday can create awareness and inspire action
  • Consider how your church, organization, or network can invite others to participate
  • Identify practical next steps for your local context

Churches do not need to create everything themselves. The Orphan Sunday toolkit provides practical ideas, prayer resources, communication materials, customizable templates, and suggested next steps that can be adapted for different cultures, languages, and church contexts.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is for:

  • Pastors and church leaders
  • National and regional Christian leaders
  • Denominational and network leaders
  • Prayer and mission leaders
  • Children’s and family ministry leaders
  • Christian organizations and movements
  • Anyone who wants to help churches respond to the needs of vulnerable children and families

We encourage you not only to attend, but also to invite your team, church contacts, ministry partners, and other leaders in your network.

Every Church Can Do Something

A church can dedicate a full service to Orphan Sunday, but it can also begin with one prayer, one story, one video, or one practical action. This year, we invite every church to take one faithful step:

Pray for vulnerable children, families, caregivers, and communities.

Care through practical actions that protect children, strengthen families, and support those who serve them.

Give one Sunday. Take one step. Help create lasting change.
