"What if there were more families waiting for kids than kids waiting for families?"
In 2002, Bishop Blake gave a sermon about kids in foster care asking "Who Will Stand With Me for these kids?" Nedra Wade stood and said "I will". Hundreds of pastors all across the country have done Stand Sundays to raise up foster parents and wrap-around support teams called Care Communities.
8 Years Later, in 2010, in the county where Bishop Blake serves, the vision was fulfilled. To this day, there are more families waiting for children than those who need homes. Allelujah!
We, the Church, can do that in our county. Email me, Paul, at phemminger@coalitionofcare.org to chat about it.
IMPACT:
We've equipped over 50 pastors between Cincinnati and Dayton to do a Stand Sunday
The Church has raised up over 100 foster families
Resulting in over 20 adoptions
