One of the greatest risk factors for child abuse and neglect is social isolation. But many assistance programs fail to provide what struggling families need most: RELATIONSHIPS. God calls His followers to defend, visit and care for the orphan and the widow. The rejected. Those who are in distress. We offer the Church unique opportunities to love struggling families in tangible ways. As we wrap around vulnerable children in Christ-centered ministry, we bring hope and friendship to parents in distress. There are multiple ways this is accomplished:
CRISIS HOSTING:
Temporary hosting of vulnerable children to give parents a safe option during crisis. RESPITE:
Respite care of children for moms in distress: a few hours weekly or one weekend per month
RELATIONAL MINISTRY:
Fellowship meals, Bible study, art and writing classes, parenting classes and more. SHARED HOPE:
Walking with lonely mothers. Sharing hope and pursuing unity with our brothers and sisters in the community
