We've engaged 16,658 churches since 2012! 🙌⛪

Every one represents an opportunity for more people to discover their part in caring for vulnerable children.

Some will foster. Some will adopt. Others will support, give, pray, mentor, or simply show up for a family who needs them.

But there are still thousands of churches that haven’t taken that first step.

What could happen if your church said yes?

We can help your church turn compassion into action with practical tools, training, and support.

Today, we remember.

We remember the lives lost on September 11, the families forever changed, and the first responders who ran toward those who needed help.

May this day remind us to look for those who are hurting, protect the vulnerable, and choose compassion when others need it most. We honor the past by remembering and by continuing to care for one another. 🇺🇸

Prayer is one way every one of us can respond. If you’re looking for specific ways to pray for vulnerable children and families, visit https://hubs.la/Q04wT49Z0 and use our prayer guide. 🙏

Persistence pays off! 🙌

For the past few years, Crossroads Church has carried a desire to launch an orphan care ministry. This Sunday, that vision became a reality!

God has been moving, and now Crossroads has support ministries in place to serve 9 families who are interested in or are currently fostering and adopting.

That means more than 20 children could be fostered or adopted through this one church. ❤️🏡

This is what can happen when a church says yes. Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can do something.

Crossroads Church is helping move us one step closer to seeing more families waiting for children than children waiting for families.

Your church can be part of the solution, too. Take the next step at https://hubs.la/Q04x3xMP0!

This Labor Day, we honor the hard work that strengthens our families, churches, and communities. 🇺🇸

And we’re reminded that some of the most important work happens quietly every day.

Opening a home. Supporting a foster family. Mentoring a young person. Providing for a family in crisis. Standing up for a vulnerable child.

There is still work to be done for hurting children, and every one of us can have a part.

Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can do something. ❤️

What happens when a church says YES to the mandate to care for orphans?

It doesn’t mean everyone becomes a foster parent. It means everyone has an opportunity to find their part. ❤️

One family may foster. Another may provide meals. Someone may mentor, give, babysit, pray, or simply show up when a family needs support.

And together, the Church can help hurting children find healing homes. 🏠

Your church’s YES could change a child’s story.

And you don’t have to figure out where to start on your own. Backyard Orphans helps churches bring awareness to the need, discover their role, and access practical tools to take action.

If you or your church is ready to say YES to the mandate, schedule a meeting with us and take your next step at https://hubs.la/Q04wD91g0.

What if the solution is closer than we think?

The foster care crisis can feel overwhelming, but the Church has an incredible opportunity to change the story.

Imagine if churches across America stepped up. If families said yes to fostering. If other families surrounded them with support. If every church discovered its role in caring for vulnerable children.

We believe we can see a day when there are more families waiting for children than children waiting for families. This problem is solvable.

The Church can step up. And your church can be part of the solution.

More than 100,000 children in foster care are waiting to be adopted.

Behind that number are children waiting for something every child deserves: a safe, loving, permanent family.

The need is great, but so is the opportunity for the Church to respond.

Not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can do something. Pray. Give. Support a family. Encourage your church to get involved.

Together, we can help more hurting children find healing homes.
