A clean and healthy home environment is a top priority for our participants. Teaching proper home care and cleaning is reinforced through routine housing inspections and a little accountability. After texting throughout the day with Zoe, Dori realized they both needed motivation to tackle their kitchens at the end of a long day. Along with a friendly race, leading by example, and sharing transparency about the condition of her own kitchen proved to be a good motivator for them both to get the job done.

Fun Night is just what it sounds like—a special evening of fun for teens in foster care and Created Ministries’ volunteers. It offers a meaningful chance to connect with teens while helping us build real relationships. By forming these connections, we ensure that as teens age out of foster care, they have trusted adults to turn to instead of relying on strangers. Most importantly, Fun Night allows these teens to simply enjoy themselves and be kids. Our desire for Fun Night is to share the love of Jesus, hoping each teen experiences and embraces that love for themselves.

Mothers play a vital role in our lives. Mother’s Day can be a difficult time for many, especially for those in foster care or who have aged out of the system. While Created Ministries can never replace a parent, we aim to come alongside those who have lost a parent or are separated from them—to guide them, support them, and share with them the hope found in Jesus. We ask that you pray for all who find this day difficult to celebrate.

Mark Garnett taught about addiction during April's Traverse Training. We learned a simple equation with a big impact
We learned about the dangers of filling the (something) with alcohol, drugs, scrolling, video games, love from others, etc. The danger takes root in the lie that anything on earth could fill the spot that only Jesus can. We discussed truths in the Bible, including Matthew 11:28-30, "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me, and you'll recover your life. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me, and you'll learn to live freely, lightly, and with hope.”

We magnify the Lord and give all praise to Him.

We LOVE to celebrate, even for the little wins! There is so much in this world that pushes the young people we serve down, so it is very important that we show them WE see what they are doing and that it matters. We show them through our words and actions: "This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). That alone is reason to celebrate.

All phases of the programs, RISE and Traverse Together, prepare each participant to transition fully into independent living. We prioritize a sense of belonging to ensure vulnerable young adults receive personalized support and are not left to face challenging responsibilities alone.
