Ready to be inspired? Earlier this year, a group of churches in Wake County, North Carolina learned about an immense need that county officials had as they worked to serve the children in their care well. In less than 48 hours, these churches rallied together and met the need in full. That’s what collaboration looks like. That’s what unity in the Body of Christ looks like. To read more about how these churches in North Carolina (and another group of churches and organizations in Grand Rapids, Michigan) have come together to show love to those serving vulnerable children and families in their county, check out more from Jason Weber on the CAFO blog at the link below. https://cafo.org/church-collaboration-in-foster-care-an-ode-to-breakfasts-and-bullfrogs/ (fb)

The Church is at its best when our hearts break for what breaks the heart of God, and when our hands do the work of God. Pastor Alex Blake invites local churches to first ask God to give them eyes to see the hurting and vulnerable in their communities, and to second have the courage to take a step forward with whatever they have in their hands. When we join God in His work with vulnerable children and families around us, we get to witness not only the transformation He brings in our community, but the transformation He brings in our own congregations, as well.
