Our goal is to see 927 children and youth in Florida foster care being cared for by our network of churches and families.
FLORIDA
Children and Youth in Foster Care: 18,549
PenFL Network 5% Target: 927
The Peninsular Florida Network has accepted the responsibility to care for 927 of the 18,549 children in foster care in the state of Florida. The revival of compassion in our fellowship is laying the groundwork to bring redemption to broken children and families.
We have a beautiful array of rural, urban, and suburban churches that are small, medium, and large in size. Not every church can find families to foster or adopt children, but every church can do something. Below are four areas of involvement:
4 LEVELS OF COMMITMENT
