More than 800,000 nationwide. Nearly 13,000 in Georgia. Only 25
- 30 percent of the necessary families to serve them. The number of
foster children needing care, and the lack of available foster
families, at first seems overwhelming.
However, there are more than 400,000 Christian churches in our
country, serving an estimated population of more than 100 million
evangelical Christians. That's potentially 350 Christians for every
foster child. Or conversely, two foster children for each
church.
FaithBridge Foster Care encourages you to join us in solving our
country's foster care crisis.
Our strategy outlines a process to move "from crisis to
community" and
our model creates Communities of CareSM. We bring
together child welfare agencies and workers, local churches, foster families and
trained
volunteers to ensure the best possible placement for each
child. Together, we can restore our communities and families.
