THANK YOU, BANQUET SPONSORS!

Our 13th Annual Restoring Hope Banquet would not be possible without the incredible businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals who have chosen to invest in the mission of The CALL.

Your sponsorship is about so much more than an event. It helps us surround children and families impacted by foster care with support, encouragement, resources, and hope. Because of you, foster families know they don’t have to walk this journey alone.

We are incredibly grateful for ArcBest, Harvest Time and Monkey House for saying, YES to children and families in our community. Your generosity is helping us continue to restore hope, strengthen families, and make a lasting difference.

From all of us at The CALL...thank you for standing with us!

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

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.
