Nine amazing organizations focusing on orphan advocacy, prevention, and adoption have banded together for Heaven Fest 2012. They have worked hard to create a walk-through experience that will help HF festival-goers to understand what an orphan’s journey looks like. The grief, shame, and loss they experience but then the hope of receiving the comfort and new home from the Father Heart of God. You’ll be met with the intense need and practical ways that you can make a difference right in your backyard!

Here are the organizations that are a part of the experience:

1. Colorado Heart Gallery/ Adopt Colorado Kids www.heartgalleryco.org

3. Northern Colorado Christian Alliance for Orphans nccafo.org

James 1:27 (ESV) says, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
