Father To The Fatherless
Pslam 68 uses this phrase and it also says that "God sets the lonely in families".
I want to let you know about a ministry that we are involved with that helps to make this a reality.
YWAM Houston has a partnerhsip with Joe Williams ministries and they are involved in helping homeless and poor people who live near downtown Houston. Many of the young women who live on the streets end up pregnant and due to their lifestyles etc. they are often unable to care for a child. Sometimes the CPS will take the child and place him into care. We all know that with the best intentions, the CPS is not always able to provide the best scenario for these children. This is where YWAM and Joe Williams have stepped in to help.
They have a legal adoption agency that can take these children and place them in Christian familes for adoption, fostering, or with a rescue family (until an adpotive home can be found or Mom can progress to a better lifestyle to care for her baby). This is a great ministry and I want you to consider helping by becoming one of these families.
There is some training provided and there are some classes coming up in early December. We have participated as a rescue family and have had 2 baby boys in our home this year, for short spells. It was a challenge to go back to diapers and bottles but was incredibly rewarding. Remember what James said in the New Testament. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.."
Please pray and consider getting involved. You can share the love of Christ with some of those who need it most.
Contact me if you can help.
Blessings
