This ministry is dedicated to being advocates for the orphans of the world; supporting those who are supporting the world’s orphans (adoptive and foster families); and giving sacrificially to those in the process of adopting and in financial need, which we call being a Wrap Around Family. The group seeks volunteers to donate their time to help with babysitting, yard work, or to collect items for the adoptive and foster families in need.
Wrap Around Model - Support Adoptive and Foster Families

Prayer: A team of people active in prayer for the orphans of the world.
Would you take an active role in meaningful prayer for the families getting ready to adopt, the children aging out of the system, the orphans overseas, the children in foster care, for safe travel for families going overseas, for children with medical needs and children who need medical and spiritual healing? To learn more about the Prayer Team, email Lauran McClain. |
| Resources: A team of servants called to help obtain resources for adoptive and foster families. Would you feel called to help provide children with material goods such as school supplies, beds, bikes, clothing, toys, strollers or a crib? Could you help a family who is caring for God's children to an amusement or water park? To learn more about the Resource Team, email Angela Laman. |
| Encouragement: A team called to encourage adoptive and foster families amidst their heavy burdens. Would you organize welcoming parties at the airport when families return from overseas with their adopted children, or help organize adoption showers? Do you feel called to offer encouragement for families who are going through difficult times before and after placement of a child? To learn more about the Encouragement Team, email Heather Ingle. |
| Service: A team called to serve families caring for God's children. Do you feel like you are called to help organize meals for families who are overwhelmed, or help baby-sit for families who need a respite? Can you share your skills or wisdom, like plumbing or accounting, to help a family that has a need? To learn more about the Service Team, email Ellen Tischler and Ann Marie Slaughter. |
