Kingdom over competition 🤍

This month’s Upstream Members Call left us so encouraged. Savannah Marten, Executive Director of Bella Vita Network in Toledo, Ohio, shared such a powerful reminder that when we operate through a Kingdom lens, collaboration replaces comparison and stewardship replaces scarcity.

A few notes we’re still holding onto:
• “If you win, I lose” is not Kingdom thinking
• Resources are meant to be stewarded, not owned
• Trust produces more fruit
• Growth is not zero-sum
• Fear doesn’t have to drive performance

We love being a collaborative where organizations can celebrate one another, share resources freely, and encourage growth in family preservation together. There is so much beauty in choosing partnership over competition. 🌊

Thank you, Savannah, for leading such a meaningful conversation for our community!

SAVE THE DATE 🌊

We are excited to officially announce the 2027 Upstream National Conference: Healer.

• Pro-Life Ministries
• Fatherhood Ministries
• Family Preservation Efforts

Join us February 10–12, 2027 in Deerfield Beach, Florida as we gather for encouragement, collaboration, training, and renewal alongside others passionate about strengthening families.

Details and early registration are coming soon - but for now, mark your calendars and begin praying with us for what God will do through Healer.

April is coming to a close, but our commitment doesn’t end here.

Today, on the final day of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we’re asking you to pause with us at 12 PM- wherever you are- and pray for an end to child abuse.

Pray for protection over children, healing for those impacted, and strength for the families and leaders stepping in the gap.

There is power in unified prayer. Let’s stand together.

Set a reminder. Share this with someone. Join us at noon. 💙

Children matter deeply to God- and how we protect and care for them matters too.

Scripture is clear:
We are called to defend the vulnerable, honor children with dignity, refuse harm, nurture with love, expose wrongdoing, and care for those in distress.

So here’s a simple, unified step we can take together:

On the last day of this month at 12:00 noon.
Pray against child abuse and neglect.
Pray through Psalm 10

Yesterday we gathered for our April Monthly Member Call, and it was one of those conversations that sticks with you.

Chris Johnson from Lifeline Family Services shared on church engagement.

Grateful for the space to learn, reflect, and grow together- and for voices like Chris who remind us why this work matters.

Already looking forward to next month 🤍
