Equipping the next generation of boys and young men involves preparing them for leadership.

Pure Religion Sunday
Nov
9

Pure Religion Sunday

Every child deserves a family, but statistics tell a different story.

There are over 400,000 children in foster care, and 20,000 “age out” every year without ever experiencing permanency of a family. There are approximately 15,000 foster children living in the Potomac Ministry Network, and Potomac Foster Care Network is on a mission to equip and empower churches and individuals to get involved.

On a very practical level, one of the easiest ways to bring awareness to this issue is by join churches across the country in observing “Pure Religion Sunday:” an opportunity to highlight the needs of orphans.

This is traditionally observed on November 9th, but many churches choose to highlight foster care through additional moments throughout the calendar year.

To assist you and your church, we are pleased to share a few digital resources. (All resources created by the Christian Alliance For Orphans.). Click below to request resources or learn more.
