Foster care is local missions.

Christians are called to care for the fatherless and vulnerable. Today, foster care is one of the ways the Church can live out that calling in a very real and tangible way.

But knowing 𝘩𝘰𝘸 to step into foster care can feel overwhelming. That’s where The CALL comes in.

We're here to equip local churches to support children and families impacted by foster care.

That can look different in every community. It might look like calling families to open their homes, rallying around foster families through Care Teams, creating spaces for prayer and encouragement, or supporting the mission through donations. The CALL walks alongside local churches, helping them engage in foster care ministry in ways that fit their people, resources, and community.

We know that stepping into foster care seems daunting. There are a lot of questions and "what if's" that can keep us from saying YES. But...what if you didn't need to see the full journey? What if you didn't need to know all the answers and address all the concerns?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽?

When we read Scripture and see God calling His people to action, He often only gives them the first step. He calls them to obedience without revealing His bigger plan.

Is He calling you to take the first step? Is He calling you to trust Him without knowing how everything will turn out?

We know that He is faithful. We know His grace is sufficient. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵.

Take the first step today! thecallinarkansas.org/contact

We’re looking for a friend with a 10ft ladder willing to come snap this light back in place, swap out our air filters, and possibly replace a few ceiling tiles. Can you help?!

Teenagers are growing in independence, but that doesn’t mean they’re outgrowing their need for connection. Having a safe, supportive caregiver still matters deeply. Building a strong relationship doesn’t always require a big conversation. Sometimes, it happens in the little moments, like saying yes to an expressed need or sharing a hobby.

Below are four simple ways to foster that connection! What other ways do you connect with the teens in your life? Add them in the comments!

💙 𝗦𝗮𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝘀. When it’s safe and realistic, say yes when your teen asks for something. The more you say yes and meet their needs, the more they learn to trust and accept love.

🎮 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟭𝟬. Set aside at least 10 minutes each day to do something your teen enjoys, whether that’s playing video games, participating in sports, doing each other’s nails, or simply hanging out. Find ways to enjoy the time and make room for joy and laughter!

🎵 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀. Invite your teen to teach you about the things they love. Ask them to share their favorite music, games, books, or interests with you.

🫶 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. Pay attention to their body language, tone, and energy. Mirroring their behavior in subtle ways can communicate acceptance and approachability.

What if a child’s challenging behavior is actually a sign that they need to feel safe, known, and loved?

Many children in our communities have experienced trauma that can impact the way they connect with others. As churches welcome children into classrooms, youth groups, and ministries, church staff and volunteers have the opportunity to respond with empathy, patience, and consistency.

💙 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 is a trauma-informed training designed to equip churches with practical tools and insights to:

✨ Prioritize connection over correction
✨ Understand how trauma impacts children
✨ Recognize when a child is feeling unsafe and experiencing dysregulation
✨ Implement trauma-sensitive strategies to help these children thrive
✨ Foster curiosity, compassion, and connection in your interactions with children

When churches are prepared to care well, they become powerful places of healing and hope. The CALL is here to help make that possible.

If your church would like to bring this kind of training to your team, contact The CALL in your area to learn more: https://thecallinarkansas.org/contact

Back-to-school season brings new routines, busy evenings, and full calendars for every family. For foster families, those adjustments can also come with additional appointments, transitions, and the needs of children who may be navigating a season of change.

If you know a foster family in your community, a small act of support can make a big difference during this season. We've got a few ideas to get you started!

🍝 Drop off a warm meal for dinner
🍼 Offer to babysit
🚙 Run an errand or two around town
📚 Help with homework
📞 Check in with foster parents

Every family's needs are different, and what feels like a small gesture to you may provide exactly the encouragement they need.

💙 Foster and adoptive parents: What has been the most meaningful way someone has supported your family during the back-to-school season? Share your ideas in the comments—we'd love to learn from you!
