Will your church be a part of the solution?

Right here in our own backyard, there are thousands of children in the greater Washington DC area that are in the foster care system. Yet solving the orphan care crisis is amazingly simple: If just one family in each of the 10,139 D.C. churches, 9,321 Virginia churches, and 4,639 Maryland churches would adopt or foster one of the 15,900 children in the greater Washington DC area foster care we’d essentially have more families waiting for children than children waiting for families.

Whether your church is looking to start a foster care and adoption ministry, has robust foster care and adoption support services or is somewhere in between, Backyard Orphans is ready to guide you step-by-step to help your church answer the call:

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. – James 1:27 (NASB)

That’s our mission. Will you join us?
