GRACE6:8 encompasses all of our foster care support ministries. Because caring for vulnerable children requires a big investment for foster families, but as a faith family we can do small things to support them!
GRACE6:8 (God’s Responsive And Compassionate Embrace) is directed by the scripture Micah 6:8 “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
