A New Look at Love: Familiar Passage, Fresh Foster Care Insights

The needs in foster care can feel overwhelming at times; and so can the responses necessary to meet those needs.

With so many options – from recruiting new families to supporting those caring for children, trauma training, volunteer recruitment, parenting, discipleship, personal health and more, it’s hard to know what areas of ministry to focus on and what to do in order to be as effective in those areas as possible. This is where many church ministries struggle.

If you want more clarity and confidence in your foster care ministry then this seven-part series on The Fostering Church is for you.

This limited series is specifically designed to help you grow your church’s foster care ministry – no matter where you are on the journey. In each episode you’ll hear Jason Johnson and Jason Weber talk with a real-life church ministry leader about some foundational elements of what it means to be a “fostering church”. You’ll gain insight on where to focus your efforts and the encouragement you need to help you take your next best steps forward.
