Children’s Home announces adoption and foster care informational meeting dates for late July

July 14, 2016

By Message Staff

MONROE – The Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home will hold a series of informational meetings for families considering adoption and foster care.

Beginning July 25 at Alpine First Baptist Church in Pineville and ending July 28 at the East Baton Rouge Public Library, Greenwell Springs Road Regional Branch in Baton Rouge, the series of meetings will allow those interested to learn more about how they can become part of a growing ministry in the state.

Since becoming involved in this aspect of ministry in 2011, the Children’s Home has served hundreds of children and families through its foster care and adoption ministry. But despite the success they have achieved in this area, it pales in comparison to then more than 4,700 children in need of a foster home in the state.

Through its Connect 1:27 Network, the Children’s Home recruits Christian foster and adoptive families and assists churches in developing foster care, adoption and orphan care support ministries. The network is based upon God’s command in James 1:27, Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Beth Green, director of the Connect 1:27 Network and foster care and adoption ministries at the Children’s Home, said if each of the 1,600 Louisiana Baptist churches would recruit and support at least one foster care family, the end result was change the state.

“There would not be a shortage of loving homes for Louisiana’s most vulnerable children,” Green said. “My prayer is that God is stirring the hearts of Louisiana Baptists to live out James 1:27 and share the love of Christ in word and deed through Foster care and adoption ministries.”
