Don’t Throw in the Towel! Jennifer’s Story of Finding Support
Our Care Community invited us to join the church who has been serving us, and since we started going, we have found so much blessing, connection, and community there. For the first time, this has given us a church community, family, and friends. It’s so nice to finally have other people to lean on.
Lifting the Burden – Joy, Mrs. Shellie, and First ARP

The Watsons’ Fostering Story
There were many reasons for the Watsons not to become foster parents, but the biggest reason TO do it outweighed all of the downsides – that “God’s heart is to help children in need, so ours should be too.” The Watsons also had an amazing support team in place that carried, and continues to carry them, through their fostering journey – the Care Community through Good Shepherd Church Charlotte, in collaboration with Fostering the Family.
