Why FAMs?

Churches are often full of people who want to make a positive impact in the lives of vulnerable children, but don’t always know HOW. We believe if churches are empowered then people will step up, either by becoming a foster or adoptive family or by committing to support a family in crisis. We are grateful when a church partner decides to make this investment to care for vulnerable children, and we want to do all we can to help push forward their mission, so we equip you with a step-by–step model called Family Advocacy Ministries.

What is the Commitment?

Simply commit to engage. There is no cost to join. Not every church is going to do the same thing, but every church can do something. There are many ways to make an impact.
