Episode 240 | Backyard Orphans with Eric Porter

Oct 1, 2024 | Conversations with Trailblazers

There are over 400,000 children in U.S. foster care and 350,000 churches in the U.S. If every church had someone in it who would adopt one child, we could solve this problem. During this Episode of the podcast, Pastor Alex has a conversation with his old friend Eric Porter, the CEO and founder of Backyard Orphans. James 1:27 says, “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.” Backyard Orphans guides church leaders to develop a foster care, adoption, and support ministry.
