Plant a seed....Foster a child
Lighthouse Family Network has a very special way of recruiting foster parents. We recruit our families from throughout the Christian Community. We are always looking for opportunities to share this ministry with churches, Bible School classes, ladies or men’s groups and other groups within churches. If you would be interested in having a representative of Lighthouse Family Network come and speak to your congregation or group, please call us at (888) 908-1212.
Early on in this ministry we decided to trust God to find and bring foster families to Lighthouse. We have, therefore, chosen not to spend large amounts on radio, television and other media. Instead, we have focused our recruitment efforts to prayer time each Monday morning at 10:00. During prayer time we pray for the needs of our children, our families and other needs of which we are aware (if you have matters you would like for us to bring to the table at those meetings, e-mail us and we will be glad to add them to our list). We then pray specifically:
· That God will reveal clearly to families if foster care is the ministry He has for them.
· That God will bring to Lighthouse Family Network those parents that He has called to care for children through this ministry.
· That God will begin to prepare the children He has for those homes to minister to.
We believe that foster care is a ministry and that unless you are called of God to it you will never be successful. We believe that not everyone called to foster care is called to this ministry. And so we pray diligently that God directs hearts not only to foster care, but to Lighthouse if this is where they are to be. We do that for staff as well as foster families.
If, as you read through our web site, you believe God is calling you to foster care and this ministry, we pray you will contact us so we can talk and pray together about this. If you come to believe you are not called to provide foster care, but that God has called you to share in this ministry in some way, please contact us, or go to the Help Us section of this site.
We want to minister to children. So more than anything else, we desire your prayers for us in this ministry. Pray that God will put Lighthouse Family Network right in the center of His will.
