Wow... all of a sudden the Foster Community is being shaken up!
When we presented the Missions Trip to Baja Mexico, we thought we might get some teens interested in going on this journey to build a home for a homeless family of 14 (11 children). But when we did this, everyone kept telling us the odds were against us! We were told about all the obstacles a foster youth face and how difficult it could be to take them on this trip! We also learned that foster youth had to go through multiple lines of authority, starting with their legal guardians, then to their real life parents (if applicable), their social worker, their attorney and finally, the court where a judge would make the final decision. The odds were definitely stacked against each foster youth that wanted to go!
Behold the miracle that is hope, beyond hope. A miracle that goes beyond our normal understanding and the truth that good will overcomes.
The door has opened for two foster youth already, both under the age of 15 who are now legally eligible to join us on the journey, successfully passing through all of the above barriers! And momentum is picking up!
Stay tuned for updates because a lot is happening, and word is spreading!
