Orphan: [awr-fuh-n]; a child without parents; one whose
parents have either died or who have abandoned him.
This is a story of a real orphan, of which there are few. When we come across one of these persons today, they are called “adopted” or they are wards of the state. All orphanages in America have been done away with and replaced by foster homes, and the word “homes” can often leave a lot to be desired.
A baby, only a week or so old, showed up on the front steps of a church in Detroit, Michigan. He had been wrapped in a blanket and placed in a cardboard box. Pinned to his blanket was a note but the only thing it said about him was that he was named after his father, Zachary. That was it — nothing more!
“The Orphan” will take you along with him as he travels through life, from being a nobody to becoming a somebody. This journey doesn’t come easily, but it is exciting to see what happens to him. You will discover that it is love that makes the difference; both love he receives and love he gives. Come along and let him reveal to you how his life is altered.
