· Provide life giving and life changing experiences that will become a part of the life story of these kids
· Provide respite for foster families
· Foster widespread area church engagement and connection centered around these annual events that will strengthen effective organized and organic efforts toward related needs in the local foster community
· Potentially lead to the creation of a position at Heart of the Bride for a Ministry Coordinator/Counselor to kids in transition (those who have recently aged out)
· Through building regional organized engagement from local churches, our leadership team will have the opportunity to identify additional needs within the Foster/ OVC community that we might later be equipped to meet. (i.e. retreats for foster and adoptive families)
