Hello Everybody,
Hopefully everyone had a happy and safe 4th!
We wanted to update you on what we have been doing at CGC.
A few weeks ago Sheri and I took a trip to Ft. Lauderdale to visit 4Kids of South Florida. They have an amazing ministry going there and it was a wonderfully overwhelming day to see all that God was doing in the lives of kids in South Florida. As we begin to try and make a difference in the lives of children in foster care here in Central Florida we were asking 4Kids for advice on where to start. They recommended that we try and work with Florida Baptist Children's Homes and begin to recruit and train our own foster families. Several days after returning, we learned that 1st Baptist Orlando is already doing just that! They actually have a caseworker from FL Baptist Children's Homes on their property and they are about to begin foster training at the church. They are going to be doing several classes and they will all be taught from a Christian perspective.
Please join with us in trying to get this word out to churches. The state has lost over 50 foster homes so far this year and it would be such a wonderful thing if the churches would be there to step into this need. The contact at First Baptist is Laurie Ingram and her number is 407-514-4394 or laurie.ingram@fbchomes.org
I also want to remind you all of our bi-monthly meeting coming up at Willow Creek on Tuesday night July 21st at 7pm. We would love to have any of you join us!
Looking forward to seeing you!
