If solving the global orphan crisis was like a puzzle, then every person with some resource (spiritual, financial, personal, etc.) would be like a piece. OJM wants to find all those pieces, and fit them together to make a beautiful picture of hope for kids around the world. So allthepieces.us is an effort of Orphan Justice Mission to get everyone involved in caring for the needs of every orphan. Imagine if every person in the world gave what they could to a strategic effort to equip churches, communities and families to care for orphans and vulnerable children. It’s a beautiful picture, and we think it’s possible. So consider what part you can play and get involved. Don’t be the missing piece; be a part of the solution.

In 2011, we set a goal to involve 192* people in helping orphans by December 31st. We reached 91! For 2012, we want to involve 500 individuals! When you donate to OJM, volunteer and/or start the adoption process (and let us know about it), we’ll send you two duplicate pieces of our current puzzle (the first 2012 puzzle should be ready in April) and reveal that part of the puzzle here online.  Personalize the back of one with a signature, favorite verse or message, then return it to us and we’ll post it here. You’ll be able to click on your section of the puzzle and see your personalized piece. Keep the other one as a prayer reminder or symbol of your involvement. We want to see the whole picture by the end of the year. Get your friends involved and check back often to see the progress!

*Our puzzle is a standard “200″ piece puzzle, but it’s actually 192 pieces. But don’t worry, we can use the extra eight!
