Foster325 had the privilege of hosting breakfast with Jason Johnson. This gathering was an opportunity to pour into our community champions, the people who quietly and faithfully show up for children and families in hard places every single day.

We are incredibly grateful to Jason Johnson for traveling to encourage our community and speak life into those serving foster families across our region. His words reminded us that even when the work feels slow, unseen, or heavy, faithfulness still matters. Progress is still progress. Seeds are still being planted. Lives are still being changed.

We also had the honor of presenting Judge April Propst with a Legacy of Faith & Servant Leadership Award in recognition of her years of service to our community through family court. Her compassion, leadership, and commitment to children and families have left a lasting impact on countless lives throughout our region.

There was such a genuine spirit of encouragement in the room as leaders, advocates, church members, and community partners came together with one shared purpose: caring well for vulnerable children and the families walking beside them.

Thank you, Jason, for the wisdom, humility, and hope you shared with us. Thank you to every champion who continues to serve with compassion, perseverance, and love. The harvest truly is plentiful, and we are grateful for those willing to step into the work.

Today I had the honor of meeting with one of our Abilene foster families from a Foster 325 partner church.

Over the years, the Vesel family has opened their home to more than 20 children for both short and long term foster care. That kind of steady, faithful yes changes generations.

What encouraged me the most was their hope, not for recognition, but for multiplication. More families stepping in. More wrap-around care surrounding them. More churches leaning in so no one carries this calling alone.

That is the heart behind Foster 325. When the Church shows up together, children and families don’t just survive, they are supported, strengthened and seen.

We can’t wait to share their story and watch what God continues to build through their willingness to say yes. 💛

What does your yes look like?

How are you serving foster children and families in our community?

We love creative support, and we’d love to celebrate what you’re doing. 💛

Are you ready to become a licensed foster parent, but are not sure where to start?

Selecting an agency to work with is your next step.

How do you choose an agency?

You speak with them, ask questions, and find the one you want to work with.

There are 9 agencies in the 325 area code.
You could call each one OR you can attend one of our Agency Fairs.

Agency Fairs are come-and-go events where you can meet all the local placement agencies in one place, ask questions, and begin the process to become a foster parent. We even provide a Common Questions Worksheet to make this process as simple as possible.

Our next Agency Fair will be on October 7, 2025 @ Community Foundation of Abilene
