July 2008 Ministry


http://www.embracetexas.org/Embrace is our pick for support this month. Their website does not have information about financial donations, but does have contact information. Please contact Cindy Coffman, Director at: cindy@embracetexas.org to find out how you can help spread their work of caring for the orphans of our time.

The mission of Embrace is to rally the members of our community to champion the needs of "waiting children" by becoming foster parents, adoptive families, or volunteers in our Resource Network. Waiting Children is a term now used to describe children in the foster care system, and those awaiting adoption. Founded in 2006 at Rhea's Mill Baptist Church, Embrace has now grown to involve a dozen families. Some are exploring the opportunity to grow their families through adoption. A few are families willing to open their homes and hearts to children in the foster care program. Many are individuals who have a heart for this cause, who commit to use their individual gifts and talents to benefit these children. We are working to expand the Embrace program in the Rhea's Mill congregation, while sharing with and encouraging the growth of similar ministries throughout our area.
