The gospel message—that God sent his Son to forgive, transform and restore what sin has broken—is the hope for the people and families entangled in the broken foster care system.
More than 1 in 10 churchgoers say someone in their congregation has provided foster care (16%), adopted a child from the U.S. (13%) or adopted a child from another country (11%) within the last year.
The church is not designed to be a shield protecting the Christian bubble of safety. Rather, the church is a vehicle engineered by God to send people into the darkest corners of the neighborhood.
