May is Foster-Care Awarness Month

Dear Friends,

Did you know that May is national foster care month? There is an estimated 514,000 children in US foster care, and of those approximately 115,000 are "legal orphans" waiting to be adopted.

In recognition of the great need of these precious ones, a National Foster Care Prayer Vigil is being held from May 19-25.

Won't you please join this effort and commit to praying during this vigil? Another great way to participate in foster care month is to do something special for a foster family! If you know a foster family personally, you might know of some of the challenges, and certainly the commitment and sacrifices they make to care for children in great need.

If you all know of a local foster family that might need help please post a comment and your phone number in the comment field or e-mail us at fbcmissionhope@yahoo.com.
