About

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope

Here at Hope & Olive Ministries we provide direct support, prayer and love to foster families in our church and community with the goal to sustain the foster care relationship and re-establish a positive support of a family unit to orphans. Foster care is an invisible tragedy - we have a serious crisis. We are driven by a single goal; to visit the orphans in their affliction, to show up for the oppressed. We want to see foster care abolished because Gods people answered his call to bring hope and a future through Gods love to the orphans. We want to support and love families who are fostering and adopting. We all have a role to play in Gods plan. It is God's design, it is Gods heart, this is His mission to bring his love to children and helping them find their way back to God through His family.
