OUR HEART IS FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN When there are 140 million considered orphans worldwide, with over 400,000 of these children living in the United States, we know there’s work to be done. We partner with churches across the nation to provide what vulnerable children need most––strong families. We know many people are unaware of the child welfare crisis. We also know when people become aware, they many times would like to get involved...but aren’t sure where to start. That’s where we come in. Promise686 equips churches to: • Raise awareness around the needs of vulnerable children • Help prevent children from going into foster care by supporting biological families in crisis • Recruit and equip foster & adoptive families • Create support systems for those caring for at-risk kids We call this model Family Advocacy Ministries (FAMs). Our vision is to fulfill God's promise "to set the lonely in families." FAMs create support systems for foster & adoptive families, and biological families in crisis. By equipping churches to create and lead successful FAMs, we’re working toward seeing every child in a safe and loving family, forever.
