Advance the Faith’s Impact in Group Foster Homes

Every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and loved. At Advance the Faith, we believe that no one should be forgotten—especially the children and young adults in group foster homes. Through our mission trips and ongoing programs, we are creating meaningful relationships, sharing the love of Christ, and equipping youth with practical life skills that will shape their futures.

More Than a Visit—A Lasting Impact

Our work in group foster homes is not about one-time encounters. It’s about building trust and forming ongoing relationships that provide encouragement, guidance, and hope. Here’s how we serve:

• Showing them they are not forgotten – Every child needs to know they are seen and valued. We take the time to listen, acknowledge their worth, and assure them that they matter.
• Building trust through relationships – By fostering genuine connections, we create safe spaces where these young individuals can share their stories, be heard, and experience unwavering support.
• Sharing the Gospel in a meaningful way – We don’t just preach; we embody Christ’s love through our presence, conversations, and actions, showing them what it means to be loved by God.
• Creating lasting impact – We strive to maintain ongoing connections, ensuring that our influence extends far beyond a single visit.
