If parents would feel the solicitude for the salvation of their own children that they should feel, if they would bear them in their prayers to the throne of grace and live out their prayers, knowing that God would co-operate with them, they might become successful workers for children outside of their own family, and especially for those who do not have parental counsel and guidance. The Lord calls upon every member of the church to do his duty to these orphans. {6T 283.1}

Hvis forældre ville føle den omsorg for deres egne børns frelse, som de burde føle og hvis de ville bære dem frem for nådens trone og efterleve deres bønner i bevidstheden om, at Gud ville samarbejde med dem, ville de kunne have lykke med sig i arbejdet for børn uden for deres egen familie, navnlig for sådanne, som ikke har forældrenes råd og vejledning. Herren opfordrer hvert medlem i menigheden til at gøre sin pligt mod disse forældreløse børn.
