Backyard Orphans

As the Church, we are called to care for orphans. However, as the local church, it can be intimidating to know where to start. That's where we come in! Let's start the conversation! Just visit backyardorphans.org.

Today we’re thankful for foster parents! ❤️ From school pickups to bedtime conversations, you keep showing up with love through uncertainty. Encourage a foster parent today with a kind message or a practical offer to help carry the load.

Today we’re thankful for a bed to sleep in. 🏡 Every child deserves a safe place to rest. Giving Tuesday is four weeks away tomorrow! Your generosity helps equip churches to support vulnerable children and the families welcoming them home. hubs.la/Q04D0FD-0

Today we’re thankful for family. ❤️ For the people who know us, love us, and remind us we belong. Join us this November for 30 Days of Thankfulness as we celebrate the people and everyday gifts that make a difference in a child’s life.

Not everyone can foster or adopt, but everyone can do something. ❤️ Pray, support a family, or give to equip churches to care for vulnerable children. Mark your calendar for Giving Tuesday, December 1, and help hurting children find healing homes. 🏡
