When Makenzie was named Head Wrangler, she described the responsibility as "a good weight," one that calls her to show up for her team and lead by example.

Grounded in her relationship with Christ, she is learning that leadership is less about being in charge and more about serving others with grace. Read more of Makenzie's story in the new issue of Timbers here:

Fully capable.

Responsibility gives our children opportunities to discover what they can do.

Through everyday experiences, they build confidence in their abilities. They begin to see they are capable of more than they once believed.

Our newest issue of Timbers explores how meaningful moments and steady relationships help our children grow stronger each day.

Foster Parents offer children in foster care the everyday rhythms of home: care, consistency, encouragement, and belonging. For families called to this work, faithful presence can help a child experience the Hope of Christ, discover their God-given purpose, and grow toward a flourishing future.

“As houseparents, so much of what we do happens day in and day out. We have devotions, we have conversations, and we walk through life together. After a while, you don’t really think about it as discipleship—it’s just the way you live as a family. But over time, you get to watch your kids grow in their faith and begin to understand not just how to live, but why. It’s incredibly humbling to get to be part of that.”
- Trevor, Houseparent at Big Oak Ranch

Home is built by people who keep showing up.

Not only on the big days, but in the ordinary ones, when faithfulness looks like being present and beginning again tomorrow.

At Big Oak Ranch, that steady, Christ-centered care helps build trust and belonging. It reminds a child: You are known. You are loved. You are not walking alone.

Day by day, God uses that faithfulness to build a firm foundation.
