I will add that I’m glad there are some truly remarkable churches in NW Arkansas who are taking some amazing actions towards promoting adoption and becoming foster parents. Grateful that there are churches who are putting their faith into action.
Guest post on Amber Haines Blog (http://therunamuck.com)
Today I am humbled to have Greg Russinger, founding member and president of JustOne and One Voice to End Slavery, as a guest poster here at the RunaMuck. I confess that it had never crossed my mind until recently to wonder what it’s like to be a Foster Child in Transit, and I’m grateful for Greg’s perspective.

On Feb 25th & Feb 26th, Idea Camp Orphan Care is coming to NW Arkansas!
The upcoming Idea Camp is focusing on Orphan Care and the Church. We will facilitate fresh, honest and transformative conversations with leading thinkers and practitioners on topics including US & International care, community development, trafficking of orphans, adoption, foster care, child sponsorship, special needs, cross-cultural & religious dynamics to care, and many more. Our desire is to live life as God’s loving expressions of grace and hope to our world through tangible acts of care for orphans.
You’re invited to join us on this collaborative movement.
There are about 3,500 children in the Arkansas State Foster Care System at any given time. These children come into state custody through no fault of their own - it is because of abuse, neglect, or some other safety concern in the home. Within a year, in Pulaski County alone, there are 1,100 children who come through foster care, and only 233 families to care for these children! It’s a crisis shortage!
It’s time for the Body of Christ to step up and meet the needs of these children in our own neighborhoods. We are asking you, if you are called, to care for one of these precious children through foster care or adoption.
