Springfield Baptist Work Of Grace Ministry

 
Work of Grace Poster

‘Work of Grace’ is a ministry that directly affects the well-being and spiritual condition of impoverished children. Many children originate from minority and bi-racial biological parents. Nearly all of the children in the social work system come from addicted-adjudicated-dysfunctional-impoverished family systems. In Delaware County, PA the Social Work system does an adequate job of training and vetting potential foster parents. However, there is a dearth of support group ministries specifically designed to help parents with the on-going, stressful emotional and spiritual challenges that foster parenting engenders. Parents often feel inadequate for the life they’ve chosen, and are in deep need of emotional and spiritual support. When parents feel they are fully equipped and supported the home life they are able to provide for their foster children is greatly enhanced. This grant request underwrites the vision we have for a start-up ministry at Springfield Baptist Church.

Deacon Jim & Amie Cannon are the hosts for this wonderfully supportive and spiritual ministry. We request the larger ABC family to undergird this ministry in prayer.

Rev. Wylie W. Johnson, D.Min.
