This Deserves a Shout Out AND a Woot Woot

I have this amazing friend back in Des Moines named Angela Albers. She and her husband Scott have seven...yes I said seven, children from ages 1-18. They had four birth kids and then decided they had way too much love left over so they took in three foster kids who they have now adopted. Angela and Scott are super involved in their church, Berean Assembly of God. They both work in children's church every Sunday and teach in Rangers and M'Pact Girls plus whatever other kid's events are going on. I had the honor of working with them when I was a part of the Berean team for 7 1/2 yrs. They are every children's pastor's dream to have on the team!!

Angela has started a new outreach through their church called Drops of Hope. They invite area foster care parents to drop off their kids for a couple of hours of food, games, love and fun. What a GREAT idea! The church needs to be doing things like this; reaching out to families and meeting needs that no one else meets. Some churches may not want to accommodate these kids because of stereotypical thoughts of misbehaved, unruly scoundrels but these kids desperately need the love of Christ. For some, Jesus will be the only friend or advocate they may have in their life.

So to Angela and crew....BRAVO, way to go Idaho, nicely done, and a long distance pound! I can't wait to hear more details and of all the victories that are coming!
