Fostering Hope Newsletter April 2018

Greetings Incredible Team,

Resurrection Power... what does it mean He has Risen? It means we do not have to stay in a broken state, it means we do not have to remain in addiction or bound by sin. It means our present or past circumstances do not define the infinite future God has in store for us.

Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions,he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

It is finished, it was done upon the cross. He carried the weight of our sin past, present and future. Therefore each day we are called to walk in the fullness and freedom of Christ, we can tap into His resources through the Power of the Holy Spirit we are not alone.

Each prayer we pray for these young Foster children who are so valuable to our Heavenly Father does not expire for Christ has bridged the divided and is seated at the right hand of God. Therefore we can go boldly before His throne.
Romans 8:34 (NIV) Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us

Have you ever wondered why am I apart of this team? Is my role enough? Am I significant? Please allow me to validate you. You are extremely important, we need you, we need your prayers, love and support. We received a heart warming thank-you video from one of our Foster youth. He so kindly thanked our church for the purchase of his graduation night ticket. These children are real and right here in our own backyard. Together we get to lock arms and join forces to make some serious life changing events take place for these valuable young children. You matter more than you may know thank-you for your willingness to just say yes.

God is still on the move,
Ana Martinez
