National Foster Care Prayer Vigil


I am reposting a page from Cry of the Orphans. Please join the JOY ministry this month as we pray for Foster Care, including the children, foster children, social workers, churches, and our responsibility as given by Christ.

2011 National Foster Care Prayer Vigil
May 2011


Many kids in foster care feel like they don't have a prayer...let's change that.



The National Foster Care Prayer Vigil is calling followers of Christ together across the country during the month of May (which is National Foster Care Month) to cry out to God on behalf of children and youth in our nation's foster care system, their families, their workers, and the church as it responds to the needs of those involved in the foster care system.
A prayer vigil can take on many forms. It can be a formal, church-wide event, or it can be an informal gathering with your family after dinner. In fact, the possibilities are endless. Consider asking your small group pastor to include it as part of the curriculum for all groups, or maybe during Sunday school classes all throughout the church. Take time in whatever groups you are part of to encourage people to pray for kids in foster care.

The important thing is not what the vigil looks like or how well it's planned, but rather that believers come together to pray for those in need.

Is God calling you to be the voice for your city? See the map for a listing of vigils already scheduled. And once you have your vigil scheduled, be sure to add it so we can see the prayer happening all around the country.
Gather together. Pray for the kids. Watch God work.
