AM Technical Solutions (AM) is proud to support several ministries in the communities where we work, live, and worship. We recently highlighted many of these organizations in our 2024 community calendar announcement.
Today, we will begin a regular series of articles highlighting these ministries. We will dive deeper into how each one positively impacts people and families.
Our first ministry highlight is Bethany Christian Services, which focuses on helping build stronger families domestically and around the globe. Their primary focus is helping at-risk children find a permanent home. Learn more about how Bethany is making a difference.
Bethany Christian Services: Connecting Kids to Families
Bethany Christian Services helps kids and families navigate the turbulent waters of foster care, adoption, and family support. At its heart, this organization is dedicated to bringing families together and ensuring every child finds a loving home.
Their mission is fueled by an alarming statistic that 140 million kids do not have a permanent home. Bethany works hard to ensure that every child in their reach is supported in tangible ways:
- Support foster care placements that provide stable and nurturing environments for children in need.
- Facilitate domestic and international adoptions that unite children with their forever families.
- Offer counseling and support services to families facing challenges.
- Aid refugees by providing short-term or long-term foster care services.
Bethany’s approach is holistic and compassionate. They understand that the journey to family unity can be complex, and they’re committed to walking alongside the people they serve every step of the way.
The impact of Bethany Christian Services extends beyond the children and families they directly assist. They also advocate for systemic changes that benefit all children needing a family. By providing training to foster and adoptive parents, they help families prepare for what’s next and help raise awareness about the importance of foster care and adoption.
Their efforts help break down barriers by encouraging more individuals and families to open their hearts and homes to children in need. The organization’s work fosters a community of support, understanding, and love – where every child is valued and given the chance to thrive.
Through various programs, Bethany addresses the unique needs of each child and family, offering tailored support for each situation. Their commitment to strengthening families and ensuring a child’s well-being is demonstrated by their profound understanding of the challenges and joys that come with fostering and adoption.
“By prioritizing the best interests of children and providing regular support to families, Bethany is truly making a difference,” says Scott Lessard, VP, Life Science. “We are eager to partner with an organization that demonstrates the compassion of Jesus Christ by supporting children and families in need.”
