The Power of One Foster Family

Sam’s* mom and seeking respite from deplorable living conditions.

Sam is 10 years old.

In April, he was placed with the Garrison* family, a foster family who became licensed through Florida Baptist Children’s Home in January.

The Garrisons talk joyfully about the opportunity of “fostering with the love of Jesus” and academic needs. There are many challenges that come with a child adjusting to so many new environments, but with the help of their church family the Garrison’s have seen Sam identify the hope he has in Jesus!

On May 20 he prayed to receive Christ as his personal savior and he plans to get baptized soon!

Being a foster parent doesn’t mean you can flip a switch in a child and fellowship; today he is running toward a brighter future.
