May is National Foster Care Awareness Month
What can you do?
-
Join us at the national First Annual Foster Care Prayer Vigil
-
As you know may know the Corbett family, founders of Ark of Hope For Children, have always had a heart for domestic orphans. Currently with 10 children, 5 which were adopted from foster care, their hearts over flow towards all of the children that must live in U.S. foster care for their own safety. You also know of their passion to build a community in High Springs, Florida where siblings from foster care will be able to stay together while in care. Recently were encouraged and blessed by joining agencies from around the world in the fourth annual "Orphan Summit." Now it is our pleasure to join with these united agencies in the first annual national Foster Care Prayer Vigil.
Across the U.S. Christians will petition God on behalf of the 514,000 domestic orphans living in our nation’s foster care system and their caretakers. During the week of May 19 - 25 Christians will unite in a multi-denominational effort to call the believers in their city together to pray on behalf of the foster children in their state. In the Gainesville, High Springs area of North Central Florida join together to interceded in guided prayer with Ark of Hope For Children.

Every city has them. They aren’t obvious by the way they look, or even by the way they talk or act. You may very well have walked by one today without suspecting it. They are our nation’s foster children. Children come into the U.S foster care system for various reasons, including neglect, abuse, abandonment, and substance abuse by their primary caregivers. They are most often placed with complete strangers, and nearly every aspect of their lives is decided by adults who don’t really know them.
-
The bottom line is this; These children are hurting deeply and they need prayer. So do the adults in their lives—their birth families, their foster families, their social workers and the agencies they work for. Join with us as we join God in His mission to redeem the lost and heal the broken. Won’t you join Ark of Hope For Children and dozens of other agencies and churches across the U.S. to intercede on their behalf?

As you are doing so keep Ark of Hope For Children in mind. We are working hard for abused siblings, children, youth that live in foster care. After building our first home and filling it with adopted and birth children totaling 10 so far, we are raising fund to build and fill our second home, this time with sibling foster children! Read about our efforts here but there's much more!
In our own "Hype For Hope" Ark of Hope and I have partnered with a huge music video & CD double disc project that will celebrate and promote foster care and adoption. Set for national release and in pre-recording prep is The Melodical Hearts Foundation's "Project 50 Files." Project 50 Files is unique because it incorporates a plethora of national recording artists that are passionate about foster care and adoption due to their time as foster parents, as part of the foster care system, as adoptive parents or having been adopted. Artists to include; Jewel, Steven Curtis Chapman, Faith Hill, Wayne Warner, Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift a complete children's choir and many more!
