REFUGE

In times of adversity, God serves as our refuge. As we discussed the concept of our Foster Care Initiative, this word repeatedly surfaced during our talks. Consequently, we named the Foster Care Pilot Program “Refuge,” signifying a sanctuary of safety and care.

For months, we have diligently been learning and preparing to launch this program. God has, in a sense, placed us in a holding phase, awaiting the government’s completion of its national-level processes to define the program. However, during this wait, we remain steadfast in our commitment to raising awareness about the pressing need for foster care within our local churches.

This past week, our FosterCare Team was honored to present our program at The Nazareth Church in San Salvador. Our objective was raise awareness about the opportunities that lie ahead, enabling us to collaborate in providing temporary homes for children during challenging times in their lives. The church warmly welcomed our team, and interest was shown in learning more about the program.

Our hopes are that the local church will assist us in identifying potential foster families, surrounding them with a support network as we walk alongside them, offering ongoing training and assistance. We firmly believe that the church is called to provide care for the vulnerable in El Salvador.

We would be delighted if you would follow us on Instagram at @refugio_lacasa to learn more about our journey and watch the unfolding of God’s plans to build this program.
