  • Effective Compassion: Pure and faultless religion - S4.E10
    Jun 20 2023

    Not every Christian is able or called to foster and adopt. But everyone has a part to play, and churches are finding ways to get more people involved in helping kids in crisis. Because only the church—not government agencies—can meet the deepest spiritual and relational needs of children and families with the hope of the gospel.

    North Korea is one of the most secretive, closed-off countries in the world, but World Help has a network of trusted partners there with 20+ years of experience smuggling Bibles and other aid to believers. These partners use donations to print, ship, and secretly distribute Bibles as well as food to people who have been desperately praying for help. And since North Koreans share their Bibles with trusted family and friends, each copy impacts around five people. Click here to learn more and donate.

  • Effective Compassion: Better together - S4.E8
    Jun 6 2023

    Since the mid 20th century, the U.S. foster care system—and Christian organizations—have moved away from institutions in favor of family care. That’s because statistics show children thrive when they’re raised in a stable family unit. But some kids in crisis don’t need—or want—a new family. Where do they fit in a system with a one-size-fits-all approach?

The church needs this!

This is really great to learn about adoption/foster care/other alternatives! I enjoy listening to it, and I would highly encourage everyone to listen to this. ☺️
