“Pure religion… is to care for the orphans.” — James 1:27
Reconciliation without restoration isn’t enough.
Our words must turn into action.
Stand Sunday,
we stand for foster youth—
to restore, rebuild, and remind them they are not forgotten.
Everyone has a role to play in standing for children and families in critical life situations involving child welfare. No one person or church can do everything, but every person and every church can do something. Who will stand? 💜

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—
words we all hold dear, yet for so many children, still out of reach.
As April comes to a close,
our fight for Child Abuse Awareness does not end—
it grows stronger, deeper, and more urgent.
We lift a prayer for every voice in this fight,
that no heart grows weary,
no hand falls still,
and no light fades in the darkness.
We pray for the unseen child—
the one waiting, hoping, hurting in silence—
that they will be found,
that they will be seen,
that they will be rescued and restored.
And as we move forward,
may love be louder,
may courage be stronger,
and may every child one day truly know
what it means to be safe, free, and whole.

Last week we were beyond honored to announce a formal Proclamation recognizing the impact of Harvest Family Life Ministries. This honor belongs to every church, partner, and volunteer who has joined in the mission to transform the lives of children and families in the child welfare system.

Dear Friends,
I recently watched American and Canadian astronauts give remarks after their historic mission. They traveled farther from Earth than any humans before them—around the far side of the moon.
As I listened, I thought about what is possible.
If humanity can reach the far side of the moon, surely we can reach the hurting child next door.
If we can engineer spacecraft to travel through space, surely we can build families that provide love, safety, and belonging.
If teams can live and work together in harmony in space, surely we can come together to care for vulnerable children and families struggling in poverty.
Surely we can ensure every child who needs a loving foster or kinship home finds one.
Surely we can build a community where no child leaves care without a forever family.
This is more than hope. It is the mission of Harvest Family Life Ministries.
Our mission is clear: to engage the Church to care for vulnerable children and families until every child is seen, supported, and placed in a loving, forever home.
Please pray for us as we work with leaders across our state to strengthen families and communities.
Bishop Blake
CEO, Harvest Family Life Ministries

At Harvest Family Life, this message reminds us why we serve. Every child deserves to feel loved. Every family deserves hope. Every life deserves the chance to be restored.
Because of the love demonstrated on the cross, we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ—serving children, strengthening families, and standing in the gap for those who need support the most.
Today we pause in gratitude for the sacrifice.
And we remember that even in the darkest moment…
hope was being written.

Real change happens when a community comes together.

We’re grateful for the dedicated leaders who serve on the Community Advisory Board (CAB) with Harvest Family Life. This incredible group includes church leaders, CPS workers, school counselors, and members of the police department—each bringing their voice, experience, and heart for under-resourced families.

When organizations collaborate, barriers begin to break and hope grows stronger. Together we are identifying needs and building partnerships that support children and families in our community.

Because when we unite our efforts, we don’t just talk about change…we create it.

✨ We’re always looking to grow our table. If your church, organization, or agency has a heart to serve families and strengthen the community, we invite you to join the conversation and partner with us to build a CAB in your community.

Sometimes, a single day can change everything.

Meet and Cash. 🚒✨
For Cash, this wasn’t just a ride on a firetruck—it was a moment where he felt seen, celebrated, and cared for.

The holidays can be hard for so many kids, especially those without families to call their own. 💔 Through the Holiday Heroes Program at Harvest Life Ministries, children like Cash are paired with local heroes—firefighters, EMTs, police officers—who take them shopping and give them a day full of joy, laughter, and hope.

It’s not about the gifts they pick out. 🛒 It’s about the way they light up when they realize someone cares. It’s about easing the burden for families who might not know how they’ll make the holidays magical.

This program makes a difference—one child, one family, one hero at a time.

💡 Here’s how you can help: Your kindness can turn an ordinary day into something extraordinary for a child who needs it most. Every little bit counts, and it all adds up to more moments like this—moments of connection, compassion, and hope.

Will you join us? 🎄✨
Let’s make this season a little brighter, together.

❤️
Because every child deserves a little magic.
