OUR STRATEGY

1. Help prevent children from entering foster care

2. Intervene with much-needed support once kids are in foster care.

3. Connect children and families for a lifetime.

OUR MODEL

We work toward this goal by equipping churches to:

  • Raise awareness around the needs of vulnerable children

  • Help prevent children from going into foster care by supporting biological families in need

  • Recruit and equip foster & adoptive families

  • Create Care Communities for those caring for kids from hard places

FAM

WE CALL THESE FAMILY ADVOCACY MINISTRIES (FAMs)

FAMs create much-needed support systems for foster & adoptive families, and biological families in crisis. Nationally, over 50% of foster families quit after the first placement. Did you know it’s not usually because of the child, but lack of support and isolation? When supported by FAMs and their care communities, over 90% of families foster 2-3 times longer!

Inspired by the powerful true story, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible–adopting 77 children–this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America’s most vulnerable can be won.
