Adoption and Fostering Awareness Month
Adoption and quality fostering are justice issues for all Canadians and everyday challenges for thousands of Canadian children. Each November, the EFC encourages supporters to download free videos, pray together on key themes and discover great ideas on how your congregation can connect nationally and locally on the plight of Canada’s 30,000 adoptable children and youth.
The EFC provides free resources to pastors, congregations and families at www.AdoptionSunday.com. Encourage your leadership team to pray, preach and connect.
