Helping you support the foster care community through awareness, encouragement, and advocacy

Tis the season for school supplies!
📚✂️✏️🚌📓🖍️🎒
We are working hard to gather school supplies for 67 school aged kids in care in Knox county. Please take a look at our registry and choose an item (or a few!) to help set our kids and teens up for a successful school year.

If you go through the registry, you can check out as you normally do through Amazon and the items will be shipped directly to your TFI advocate. We will take care of delivery to the agency from there.

Thanks all!

In 2024 the director of the Bair foundation asked if we could support her agency staff. We don’t have extra people, we don’t have extra money, but we never say no, so we prayed.
After a few months of patient prayer and expectant hope, God sent us a new coordinator, Estefania. Today she made her first visit to Bair foundation! We are celebrating this next step forward into foster ministry!
We are still praying patiently for Him to provide the funding for ongoing support for this ministry expansion. If you’d like to support our work with Knox county and the Bair foundation, click here

Good morning, friends of the foster community,
There is an urgent need for a single mother who gave birth to a premature baby girl this week. They are facing some health struggles as baby gets her strength, and need to stay near the hospital. Please consider purchasing an item off the Amazon wish list to support her. Her items will be sent to TFI and we will take care of delivering it. God bless!

The emotions of anxiety and worry are opportunities to pray. God hears you, and He cares.
"Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7

It's a hard reality, but we need to face it and talk about it. All children in foster care have experienced loss and trauma at a young age. This trauma can come out in unhealthy behaviors. If you have questions about trauma informed parenting, please reach out. We have resources for you.

Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith, knows how your story ends. It might not be clear to you just yet, but you can trust Him. He is already there.

Life is a journey with many twists and turns, ups and downs. But God is faithful through it all. Trust Him, sit back, and enjoy the journey.

Don't lose heart in the face of darkness. God can turn any situation around and bring out His glorious light.

Recognizing the complexity of adoption is an important reality for all of us to acknowledge and understand. The reality is that both an adoptive family and a child being adopted often feel great tension within them. Here is some practical language you can use to support and encourage adoptive families well:

No qualifiers. No exceptions. Just that simple command is what God gives to us.

What is love?
One definition says "Love unselfishly seeks the highest good for another person."

2023 was another great year of serving the foster care community. It has been amazing to see how God continues to faithfully provide through His church. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this ministry. You are the hands and feet of Jesus when you serve vulnerable children. This is kingdom work. And we wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We look forward to advocating for foster kids in 2024!
