6 Our Mission: Reclaim 82:3 aims to unify and empower the local Church to be the father to the fatherless in their community and around the world. Our goal is to unite believers in Middle Georgia to take up the call of Psalm 82:3 to Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless... Our Model: Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds and churches, but we all share a common passion; caring for fatherless and vulnerable children. We partner with two national ministries, The Forgotten Initiative and Lifesong for Orphans, and use their successful models in our area. Our Ministries: We seek to serve the foster care community by helping to meet the needs of the children, foster families, case workers, birth families, and group homes. Our ministry to the adoptive community is through an adoption fund to offset costs as well as ongoing training to empower and encourage pre and post adoptive families. Are you or someone you know in the process of adopting? Please contact us about applying for a matching grant to help with the costs. Your Role: Prayer. Are you interested in being a prayer partner? Please begin by praying for foster and adoptive families, the children they serve, as well as the agency workers involved. Contact us if you would like to receive prayer updates via . Families Serving Families. Are you part of a small group, Bible Study, ladies ministry, or Sunday School class? Then you are in the perfect group to wrap around a Houston County foster family and support them on their journey. Simple things like meals, prayers, cards of encouragement, gift cards, occasional yard work or babysitting go a long way toward allowing a foster family to serve longer and serve better. Mentoring Project. Are you interested in a one-on-one relationship with a pre-teen or teen who needs some extra encouragement? Our Mentoring Project will provide the training and DFCS approved process to get you connected to a child who needs an extra adult in their corner. Project Sunshine. Both Hands Projects. Do you enjoy serving others through service projects, light renovations, and home improvements? Throughout the year we serve DFCS, foster families, as well as widows and orphans with special one day projects at their office or homes. Donation Drives. Do you love to give gifts? Periodically, we have donation drives for Christmas gifts, appreciation gifts, diapers, etc. We post these as needed. Birthday Parties & Date Nights. Love to host events and parties? We host regular birthday parties and date nights for foster families, and we always need volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering in any of these areas, please contact us at reclaim823info@gmail.com or ! We will be glad to get you connected! Thank you! Also, our website is
