No Child Left Waiting Adoption & Foster Care Conference
Saturday, February 11, 2012
No Child Waiting is a coalition of Evangelical churches and non-profit agencies who envision a day when there is no child waiting to be placed in a home. There are over 500 children in Arizona that are eligible to be adopted but are awaiting a home. The coalition exists to glorify God by uniting and mobilizing the Evangelical churches in Arizona for the purpose of connecting every waiting child in foster care into Christ centered families by December 31, 2015.More information about the conference location and times will be made available soon.
ABC Initiative
In the tradition of the One Church One Child program that was started in Chicago in the 1980s, Agape's "ABC Initiative" (Arizona's Black Children and Churches) is seeking Phoenix church congregations that are willing to embrace foster children and help them grow up in safe, stable and loving homes, especially children whose ethnicity is overrepresented among those in need foster and adoptive homes. If you would like to know more about how YOUR church can get involved, please contact Leslie Reprogle today.
