    Meeting Real, Everyday Needs

    God has continued to provide opportunities for us to meet very practical needs within the foster care community.

    We provided cases of diapers to multiple foster closets and foster agencies, helping meet essential needs for babies and young children.

    We also provided clothing, pajamas, undergarments, and dozens of pairs of tennis shoes, along with highchairs, car seats, booster seats, toys, and Pack ’n Plays.

    For a foster family welcoming a child unexpectedly, something as simple as a car seat, a package of diapers, pajamas, or a Pack ’n Play can make an overwhelming moment a little easier.

     


     

    YOU Are Part of This Ministry

    We never want to lose sight of where these blessings come from.

    God is our provider. He is faithful. And He has chosen to use generous people like you to help meet the needs of children and families.

    Your generosity doesn’t just purchase an item.

    It tells a child, “You are not forgotten.”

    It tells a foster parent, “You are not alone.”

    It tells a family walking through a difficult season, “Someone cares.”

    And it gives us opportunities to say, “This is the love of Jesus.”

    Thank you for believing in this ministry. Thank you for praying. Thank you for giving. Thank you for saying yes to God’s call to care for children and families.

    We may never know the full impact of every backpack given, every Bible placed into a child’s hands, every encouraging note written, or every practical need that was met. But we trust that God can take every act of obedience and use it for His glory.

    “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”  Galatians 6:9

     


     

    From Our Hearts, Thank You

    Thank you for helping us love children well.

    Thank you for helping us serve foster families.

    Thank you for helping us meet needs that can feel overwhelming.

    And thank you for being willing to invest in something that has eternal significance.

    Because of God’s faithfulness and your generosity, hope is being shared, needs are being met, and children are being reminded that they are loved.

    We are humbled and grateful that God allows us to be part of His work.

    To God be all the glory!

    Because of God’s Faithfulness, Hope Is Being Shared

    There are moments in ministry when we have to stop and simply say, “Look what God has done!”

    God has been so faithful. He has opened doors, provided resources, connected us with wonderful partners, and given us opportunities to serve children and foster families in ways we could never accomplish on our own.

    Through His provision and through the generosity of people who have faithfully supported this ministry we have been able to bless countless children and families with practical necessities, encouragement, and, most importantly, reminders that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by God.

    Every backpack. Every pair of shoes. Every Bible. Every box of diapers. Every meal. Every piece of clothing. Every car seat and Pack ’n Play.

    These are more than supplies. They are opportunities to show the love of Jesus.

    And we want you to know that God has allowed you to be part of every one of these stories.

      This year, God opened the door for us to bless 100 children with backpacks filled with water bottles, Bibles, devotionals, school supplies, and other necessities.

      We were also able to provide 100 pairs of tennis shoes so that each child could head into the new school year with something they needed and something that reminded them they are cared for.

      We were especially blessed to work alongside the Elevate Youth Group, who helped make this outreach even more personal by creating notes of encouragement for the children receiving the backpacks.

      These handwritten messages were a beautiful reminder that sometimes the smallest words can make the biggest difference. A simple note saying “You are loved,” “You are special,” or “You can do this” can speak hope into the heart of a child.

      We pray that as these children carry their backpacks into school, they will carry something even greater in their hearts the knowledge that God sees them, loves them, and has a purpose for their lives.
