One Church One Child
Wyoming First Lady's Initiative to Prevent Underage Drinking
Thank you for allowing me the time to introduce you to the One Church One Child Project. This program has been developed through a partnership with CAUSE/Prison Fellowship, Youth Alternatives, the Wyoming Department of Family Services, and the WARM program at First Christian Church. Its purpose is to recruit volunteers to be mentors and adoptive/foster parents. The concept is simple: find at least one person or couple at each church willing to volunteer their time to help these children in need.
We need your help in finding these volunteers…. The special people who
are willing to open their homes and lives to children who are so
desperately in need of guidance and love. In Isaiah 25:4, God shows us how
he wants us to provide safe places of refuge for those who are living in
the midst of hardship and violence. These children of prisoners and absent
parent families are more likely to experience poverty, school failure,
exposure to substance abuse, and feelings of hopelessness. Help us …
Help Them. Studies show that mentoring (and foster care when necessary) is
the best thing we, as people outside the family, can do to help these
children grow into a healthy, productive adult.
