The Church and Foster Care – Straight Talk on Life Issues

00:00
00:00

Continuing where we left off last week, we continue our conversation on the tremendous importance of foster care. Joined again by Sussie Boster, and Jeannie and Renn Law we further unpack the importance of foster care as a ministry. If every church across the country would foster one child, there would be no crisis of children without homes. God commands us to take care of the orphans. We must be pro-life for life and do everything we can to support life from fertilization until natural death. Join us for this important discussion on Straight Talk on Life Issues.

Most High King Ministries

Most High King is a Bible-based Christian Ministry where people from all over the globe come together and encourage each other to walk in their purpose in Christ. We work as a united people who respect, love, and pray for others while we share the hope of Jesus with the world. The ministry is dedicated to using in-person and online methods to walk with people from all walks of life as they fulfill their God-given purpose. Our goal is to promote the Gospel in an authentic, modern, yet scripturally sound way to all generations. 

What is a Foster Care Ministry?

Faith Bridge Foster Care

FaithBridge believes that the church is the solution to the foster care crisis.

The church is a ready-made community focused on sharing Christ. Churches are eager to help families and their children in their time of need but aren’t fully equipped to handle all of the specific challenges and needs that a foster care ministry brings. That’s where FaithBridge comes in.

AdoptUSkids.org

A national project working to ensure that children and teens in foster care get safe, loving, permanent families.

AdoptUSKids educates families about foster care and adoption and gives child welfare professionals information and support to help them improve their services. We also maintain the nation’s only federally funded photo listing service that connects waiting children with families.

Hands of Hope

Every day vulnerable children are living outside the care of safe and loving families. In the last year, we’ve helped over 3400 children experience safety and love. We believe God calls all of us to do something. You can serve, pray, or give.

We are a faith-based organization that believes in the power of love to change lives. Our goal is not only to connect these precious children with needed resources, but also provide them with hope and love as they go through life knowing there’s someone out there who cares!
