Information card about child neglect statistics. Text says: "An average of 9 children are removed from their homes every day because of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Most of these kids go into foster care (no relatives to take them in)." The logo of 'A Door of Hope' and website 'adoorofhope.com/FCAM' is visible.
Text graphic with the message, "That's more than 3,000 kids per year who have experienced all kinds of trauma, from a wide range of abuse and neglect." Background shows silhouette of two children holding hands, and lower left corner has mention of "A Door of Hope." Website in lower right corner reads adoorofhope.com/fcam.

THE REALITY IS THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH HOMES FOR THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO ARE
COMING INTO CARE.

The church has the calling to care for orphans and widows

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

J A M E S 1 : 2 7

Foster children need someone to say yes to them….

Quote on a textured light gray background that reads, "If one family from every church became a foster parent, then every child that comes into care would have a home & could experience the hope of the gospel from families who love Jesus!" in dark blue and black text. In the bottom left, there is small black text that says, "A Door of Hope." In the bottom right, there is a URL in blue, "adoorofhope.com/fcam." Slightly visible in the background are two faint silhouettes of children.
