With more than 31,000 children in foster care in Texas, Buckner Children and Family Services is inviting the Dallas- Fort Worth community to participate in 30 Days of Prayer for Foster Care during National Foster Care Month.
Buckner encourages those interested in participating to visit beafamily.com/30daysofprayer/ where individuals can sign up to receive free daily devotional emails from May 1 – May 31.
Through following the daily devotionals, readers will be encouraged and challenged to reflect on God’s word as it relates to foster care and adoption. Each daily email will also include a prayer guide to help the reader pray for children in need of a family. The daily devotionals are written by foster and adoptive parents along with Buckner staff who minister to orphans and vulnerable children on a daily basis.
“There are countless misconceptions surrounding foster care and the children in care,” said Cara Jane Brister, marketing coordinator for Buckner foster care and adoption. “While foster care isn’t for everyone, there are many great potential foster parents who simply need to hear truth about foster care and how they can meet an incredible need. Children are in foster care by no fault of their own – they are victims of abuse and neglect. They are children who need to know the love of a family.”
