In this episode, we sit down with Anne Pace, a new staff member at Hope Bridge who has a personal history with foster care and adoption. Anne serves as the Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) Specialist, where she provides coaching and support to partner churches, equipping them to minister to foster and adoptive families in their congregations. Through our affiliation with Promise686, Hope Bridge helps churches establish Family Advocacy Ministries that offer practical ways to care for vulnerable children and the families who support them.

Anne shares insights into the FAM model, a step-by-step ministry strategy designed to empower churches to advocate for and serve vulnerable children, foster families, and adoptive families. With access to ministry software, resources, tutorials, and consultations, churches are equipped to launch and sustain impactful ministries. Anne’s role as a coach and resource is pivotal in helping churches fulfill this mission.

Tune in to hear Anne’s inspiring story, her passion for foster care and adoption, and how the Family Advocacy Ministry is mobilizing the Church to transform communities by supporting vulnerable families.
