  • Summary

  • What kind of stories come to mind when you think of foster care?


    Many stories are filled with heartbreak, pain, and sorrow. But what if we could step in and see them turned into stories of hope?


    Hope Bridge is on a gospel-led mission to transform the foster care landscape in Ohio. We're here to raise awareness and empower churches and communities to step into action by supporting vulnerable children and families in their local communities.


    We’re certainly not the Author of these stories, and it’s true that we can't change the past, but we are called to be key characters in THE story that God has written for His creation.

    His is a story of redemption and restoration, a story of HOPE.


    In this podcast, we will share how we link arms with churches, county workers, foster families, and those in the community to rewrite the narrative for vulnerable children and families.


    We’ll be shining a light on stories of hope, redemption, and transformation and sharing practical ways that you can step in and get involved.


    Subscribe now, and together, let's make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

    Jan 13 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Anne Pace, a new staff member at Hope Bridge who has a personal history with foster care and adoption. Anne serves as the Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) Specialist, where she provides coaching and support to partner churches, equipping them to minister to foster and adoptive families in their congregations. Through our affiliation with Promise686, Hope Bridge helps churches establish Family Advocacy Ministries that offer practical ways to care for vulnerable children and the families who support them.

    Anne shares insights into the FAM model, a step-by-step ministry strategy designed to empower churches to advocate for and serve vulnerable children, foster families, and adoptive families. With access to ministry software, resources, tutorials, and consultations, churches are equipped to launch and sustain impactful ministries. Anne’s role as a coach and resource is pivotal in helping churches fulfill this mission.
