This past Sunday we came together as a Multi-Generational Family Team on Mission to fellowship, worship, pray, and hear the Word. We kicked off the morning singing praises to our amazing God, reminding ourselves that with God, ANYTHING is possible!! We then spent a few moments in honor of National Foster Care Awareness month declaring life and the name of Jesus over every person involved in the Foster Care Community. What a powerful and beautiful gift it is to speak life and carry light everywhere we go!
After this time of prayer and worship, we invited Rita Bloomer with 111 Project and several individuals connected to the Foster Care Community to share with us. We heard powerful testimonies, shocking and relevant statistics, and many moving first-hand experiences. We also took part in an eye-opening simulation, putting ourselves in the shoes of those who enter the foster care system. Overall, the entire morning reminded us of the great needs right here in our own state, our own cities, our own communities. And it is our responsibility to meet those needs! The Word of God tells us multiple times that we are called to help those in need. We are the light of the world and together, we can shine that light into every dark, discouraged corner of the world!
As you go throughout your week, we encourage you to prayerfully consider how you can be a part of making a difference in this area. The need is great, but so is the opportunity for the Church to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Not everyone is called to foster, but everyone can do something. We can pray faithfully for children, families, and those serving within the foster care system. We can donate goods and services to help meet practical needs. We can become CarePortal Responders, helping provide resources, financial support, and encouragement when urgent needs arise. We can come alongside foster families by providing meals, offering babysitting, or simply being a source of support and friendship. We can invest in the next generation by becoming mentors and serving as big brothers and big sisters. And for some, God may be calling you to open your home and become a foster family. When each of us takes a step of obedience, no matter how small it may seem, we become part of something much bigger: a movement of God's people bringing hope, healing, and belonging to vulnerable children and families. Together, we can help ensure that every child knows they are seen, valued, loved, and never alone.

โFather, we thank You for adopting us into Your loving family. We were once lost and lonely, but You sent Your Son to this earth to show us the way to You. And now we have the great privilege of sharing that hope, love, and light with others!! Whether itโs through prayer, financial support, community, or opening our homes, we know it is Your will for us to meet the needs of those around us, to stand up for the defenseless, to support the fatherless and oppressed, to be the light in the dark places of the world. We thank You for those who have already stepped up in the Foster Care Community. We continue to pray for the biological families, the foster families, the case and agency workers, the Foster Care organizations, the Judges and courts, and of course the precious children in Foster Care. Help us surround them all with love and support, pointing them ultimately to You! We pray all of this in Your name, Jesus. Amen!โ
