They Call Me Dad by Philip Cameron

They Call Me Dad by Philip Cameron

They Call Me Dad by Philip Cameron recounts the story of a man who fulfills the obligation given to his father. After his father sees the need to reach out to orphaned girls on television, he compels his son Philip to start a ministry to reach out to these children in Romania. Cameron recalls his journey on this new mission. He shares the events which led to a new ministry to orphans. The journey takes him to Romania and then Moldova. Along the way, he reaches out to orphans in Romania, abandoned children in Moldova, and adopts a baby boy.

As the subtitle to the book states, Cameron shares how God uses the unlikely to save the discarded. Every child whom Cameron reaches has been abandoned by someone. Whether they were parent, the government, or even the orphanage home they were placed, these children have lived their lives in a throwaway culture. Cameron shares the struggle he goes through as a British person who tries to save people’s lives. As a person who has married a European and have lived in Europe, I know personally the difficulties in government bureaucracy.

While Cameron’s family story is compelling, it is the struggles he goes through which connect him with the reader. All along, the ministry which God put in Cameron’s heart grew from a single trip to provide supplies for an orphanage, expands to two countries, multiple places to help children, and a church. There are touching moments all along the journey: the moment Cameron meets his future son Andrew, the trip which the children take to Golden Corral, and the formation of Providence House.

In the Appendix, Cameron gives the reader many ways in which they can contribute to this mission. The website Stella’s Voice includes various ways one can get personally involved. The ministry is also on Twitter and Facebook.

Moldova is considered the source engine for sex trafficking/human trafficking in Europe. The US Ambassador called it a “Silent Genocide” of the countries young women. Help us provide safe and loving homes, education, and future possibilities to all the kids involved in Stella’s Voice
