Do you remember your prayers as a four year old?  Most likely you weren’t praying for a safe place for your homeless Mommy…but that’s exactly what Grace, a child in our YFC Foster Care program, prays for every night. Grace’s mom is living on the streets and simply couldn’t care for her child anymore. Grace’s YFC foster mom shared how this four-year-old was concerned that her mommy didn’t have a place to live or food to eat, so the foster mom and the little girl committed to pray daily for the mother to find safety. 

    As I was visiting Grace at her foster home the other day she excitedly told me, “Jesus answered my prayers! My mommy now has a home to live in and food to eat!”  What amazing faith children have!  Grace has learned that her prayers make a difference, and because of the love instilled through her foster family, she is sharing this blessing with others. Grace is soon to be a permanent part of this family because her foster parents have decided to adopt her…she is so excited to have a “forever family”!

    Have you ever wondered about the impact of your prayers and support? Have you taken the time to ponder how your actions, big and small, are impacting those around you? This is just one example of how God has been using the ministry of YFC to impact children in foster care.
