Church Engagement

Opportunities to help

The Bible commands us to look after the vulnerable children and teens suffering in our midst; it also requires thinking about their families who are in crisis.

to INVITE A REPRESENTATIVE OR CURRENT FOSTER FAMILY TO SPEAK AT YOUR CHURCH, TABLE AT AN EVENT, SHOW A VIDEO OR TO FIND OUT WAYS THAT YOUR CONGREGATION CAN HELP FOSTER CHILDREN, CONTACT US.

 

Many churches are recognizing that foster children are the modern-day orphan and are developing Orphan Care Ministries to support them.

BAIR PARTNERS WITH CAFO

Bair has been a proud partner of the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO),
and stands together with them to highlight kids in care on Stand Sunday, the second Sunday in November each year. We like to say that we celebrate Stand Sunday every day, because it is so important to that we equip and train foster parents to meet the needs of our most vulnerable children.

HOW CAN THE CHURCH HELP?

Congregations can celebrate and recognize our most vulnerable.  Whether you are an individual, attend a small group, Bible study, or as an entire congregation, we would love to talk to you about the need in your area. Our representatives are always available to speak to your congregation or small group, provide posters, digital bulletins, videos or table at a ministry fair to answer any questions.

As believers, we have the ability to show God’s love by extending a hand and opening our homes to serve kids in foster care. By partnering with The Bair Foundation, we can expand our reach and together impact communities for Christ.

we can work together

  • Partner with us to encourage your congregation to foster children.
  • Pray for foster youth, foster parents and biological families
  • Participate in Stand Sunday by highlighting it in your church, hanging posters, showing our stories from the pulpit or in a digital newsletter or blog post.
  • Preach from the pulpit about foster care.
  • Allow a few minutes for a professional from The Bair Foundation to inform and educate your congregation about the plight of children and the need for more homes.
  • Invite our representatives to a ministry fair.
  • Provide a space to train foster parents or support groups for foster parents.
  • Churches can support our foster families by wrapping around them as they provide the love and stability foster youth so desperately need. This could be an encouraging word, moral support, a meal or child care.

As active participants of The Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) and Orphan Sunday /Stand Sunday initiative, we work tirelessly to recruit foster & adoptive families. There are so many waiting children (who have suffered unspeakable child abuse and neglect) that we have to turn away every day, because we simply don’t have enough homes.
