What if the most urgent mission field isn't overseas, but right here in our own community? What if "the least of these" that Jesus calls us to serve are the hundreds of children in the foster care system in South Georgia?The statistics are staggering and heartbreaking. Right now, children in our area are aging out of the system into homelessness, prison, and sex trafficking. The enemy is prowling like a lion, seeking to devour the most vulnerable among us. But the Bible gives the Church a clear and direct command: to seek justice, correct oppression, and care for the fatherless.In this special and eye-opening presentation, Pastor Rodney Thrift welcomes a guest expert, Shannon Ramsey, the Chief Recruitment Officer for Families for Families (F4F). He pulls back the curtain on the foster care crisis happening right now in Ware, Pierce, and our surrounding counties, and delivers an urgent call to action that the Church cannot afford to ignore.In this vital episode, you will hear:The shocking, real-time statistics of the foster care system in Georgia and our local region.The clear biblical mandate from James 1:27 for believers to engage in this critical work.The incredible opportunity we have: There are twice as many churches in Georgia as there are children in foster care.
