Child welfare is often described by the words "not enough." Not enough resources, not enough support. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Churches, organizations, and advocates throughout West Michigan are working together to fill the biggest gaps in caring for children and families. Whether you've been involved in child welfare for years or you're just dipping your toes in, you will leave feeling inspired with action steps you can implement right away.
Y'all, Jason Weber is traveling from Texas to be with us, to share how working together can make more than enough a reality right here where we live. Jason is the National Director of the More than Enough Initiative for the Christian Alliance for Orphans. He and his wife Trisha have extensive experience as foster + adoptive parents and Jason works with communities all over the country. To read more about Jason, please visit:
