Both Esther & Moses were #orphans! One taken in by family (kinship care), one by the gov't (foster care). God values the least of these!

Happy Father's Day! Today, we celebrate dads, foster dads, adoptive dads, mentors, coaches, pastors, and father figures who show up, invest in others, and change lives. Tag a father figure who has impacted you and tell them why they matter.

Sometimes people wonder if their gift really makes a difference and it does!

Every $200 given helps one child move closer to a healing home.

The need is big, but so is the opportunity for the Church to respond.

The CHURCH is the SOLUTION!

God is continually mobilizing the church to care for orphans! Another church and two more families moving forward in fostering and adopting!

There are more than 390,000 children in foster care in the U.S. right now. That is not just a number. It is children who need safety. When the Church steps in, lives change. You may not be able to help all 390,000…
But you can help ONE! Learn more at https://t.co/btYbXj77sq!

It is tax return season! What if your refund could help a child find a healing home? Right now, thousands of children are waiting for stability, belonging, and family. Your refund could help equip churches, support foster families, and change a child’s story.

[Backyard Orphans @BackyardOrphans]

Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone is called to respond. Maybe you’re something is to give. When you give, you are helping children step into safety and belonging. Give today at https://t.co/sPetOc0tLh and be apart of the solution.

Hope at the Border just finished prayer and planning to partner with churches along the Texas Mexico border. There are so many needs and limited resources. But there is HOPE! Jesus is at work and the Church is rising up to help kids find healing homes.

There are a lot of reasons to come to the golf fundraiser. Golf, Miami, food, etc.

But the one that matters most?
Every drive, every putt, every swing helps more hurting children find healing homes through the local church.

Roughly 20,000 youth age out of foster care every year without a permanent family. Where is the solution? It starts with us. With churches opening their doors. Today, we can pray for those who are lost. Visit https://t.co/N6NbCqvIGV for a guided way to pray for the vulnerable.

Did you know adoption is part of presidential history? Gerald Ford was adopted, and Ronald Reagan was an adoptive father who supported adoption causes. This Presidents Day, remember caring for vulnerable children is not political, it's personal. Every child deserves a home.

Here’s what a day in the life of a Backyard Orphans Program Director looks like!
