The Forgotten Initiative

I've mentioned The Forgotten Initiative here and I hope you've had a chance to check it out.  If not, click on over to the website and enter your zip code to see the current needs and read the founder, Jami's story, and go to the facebook page and click LIKE to receive updates in your news feed.  It only takes a moment but could make a huge difference.
Things are really beginning to move.  We have a couple of churches excited about getting involved in this ministry, which seeks to link the local churches in the area toward one goal - showing the love of Jesus to those in the foster care community.  We're working on a meeting with leaders from several of the large local churches that we know have a heart for orphans and those in foster care.  You can pray that the meeting will come together and that it will be fruitful!  Does your church want to be involved?  Please let me know!  The more people and groups we have participating, the easier it will be to meet the needs.  And let me tell you, the needs are GREAT!!
Anyway, Jami has a wonderful blog that was what brought me to this ministry in the first place.  I read her most recent post today and it really hit on the heart of what the ministry is all about!  You can read it here.
If you're moved to help, please let me know.  If you think your church or small group might want to get involved, on whatever level of commitment from small to great, please let me know.  These children, agencies, and families need us.  The need is great, but if we all unite together we can meet them more easily than you think. Will you join me??!!

It's been fun catching up by reading your blog--we have a computer again! Your freezer meals look great. The kids loved the pics of Noah's birthday! We miss Stonehaven Road! We're planning a Bham visit sometime between Nov. 12 and Thanksgiving. Will you email or fb some dates that you're relatively free? We can organize something...
