Spark of Hope Foster Closet

Please join me in prayer this weekend for a new foster family receiving their first placement! 💓

Thanks to support from people like you, Spark of Hope was able to purchase these awesome swing sets for 3 of our foster homes! I got a great deal on them back in the winter, and it’s finally getting warm enough to really enjoy them! (Pic was taken on a much warmer evening…just now getting around to posting 🤪!) 💙

It’s been a while since I shared on this page…my life has been crazy busy with a job change, caring for fosters as well as my own family, and well just LIFE!
Spark of Hope has met several foster needs recently, and I pray that we can continue doing so. Please keep this ministry and all of those involved in foster care in your prayers.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Fayette Music Study Club!! I was delighted to share about fostering with them yesterday, and they so graciously collected items for our ministry as their Christmas outreach. I know these items will go far to help our foster families! ❤️💚

All donations should now be dropped off at Hope’s Choice (314 1st Ave NE in Fayette). I am there M - W 8:00-2:45 or am happy to meet you outside of these hours upon request. Thank you all so much for your continued support of the foster care community!!! 💙💙💙

THANK YOU to Rehobeth Baptist Church for your collection of paper products and juice boxes and to Southside Baptist Church for the backpacks! We also had a sweet family that collected and donated snacks for our Back to School goodies! Below are some of the items given to our foster kiddos that are going to school! Praying for all of the students and school faculty!!

"Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." - Isaiah 1:17

How are you using the time, talents, and passions God has given you to make a difference in the lives of others?

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. A special thank you to our foster dads. You are appreciated and loved!

Spark of Hope was blessed today with a HUGE donation of clothing, diapers, wipes, bath supplies, & McDonald’s gift cards!! The Tuscaloosa-Bessemer District of Women’s Home & Overseas Missionary Society went above and beyond! This district includes churches in several different towns including Fayette.
Pictured below are those that delivered the donations along with Fayette County DHR Director Jason Cowart and myself, Jessica Freeman.
THANK YOU to those that followed God’s lead and gave so generously! 💙

A HUGE thank you to Southside Baptist Church for your support of Spark of Hope! Not only did my home church donate 75 backpacks recently, they also gave their VBS offering to our ministry! This was a big blessing that will go far to share Jesus’ love with His children. 💕

National Foster Care month has come to an end, but the work done by those involved in foster care never ends. It is a daily sacrifice made by the foster families and DHR workers every day of the year. Please continue to lift in prayer these people and the children they care for.
In the month May, Spark of Hope was happy to honor those that work at Fayette County DHR to provide much needed services to our community.
We also put together a “summer box of love” for each home that has a child in care through Fayette County. The items were donated by various churches in our community, and I was overwhelmed by their response to give! THANK YOU!!!!

Will you join us in prayer today? 🙏

We had a GREAT response to our t-shirt sales and several wanting to add an order, so we are taking orders for one more day! Let me know TODAY if you want one! All proceeds will be used to love on foster children and their families! 💙👶🏼👧🏾🧒🏻👦🏽👶🏿👱🏽‍♀️👩🏾‍🦱💙

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the foster mommas out there! You ROCK and it brought such joy to honor you on this day. A HUGE thank you for those that donated to make these gifts possible…Emily’s Freshies, Fords Valley Candles, Dana’s Flowers, Sassy Lass, Karen Thompson, & Critter’s! 💗💗💗

Does anyone have any leotards you’d like to part with? We have 2 little girls that are SO excited to start gymnastics next week.
🤸🏻‍♀️💗🤸🏻‍♀️
Probably need something from sizes 6/7, 7/8, and/or 8/10!

Will you join us in prayer for agency workers today? 🙏

(This week on the podcast, we are sharing a conversation from the perspective of Delaney Burns, an agency worker. Listen here: https://theforgotteninitiative.org/s12e9)

This is Spark of Hope. It may not look like much, but to a child that enters care with nothing but the clothes on their back…to the family that lovingly takes that child into their home…this is the hands and feet of Jesus 🙌🏼 Thank you to each person that has given to or prayed for this ministry. I pray that God will continue to bless.

Spark of Hope is a new ministry intending to help foster children and parents in Fayette County. Our desire is to be the hands and feet of Jesus by honoring the words of James 1:27 - “Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

We understand that not everyone can foster or adopt, but EVERYone can do SOMEthing! Please consider donating to the Spark of Hope Foster Closet. These items will be given to children and their foster families as they enter and throughout their foster care journey.

Contact Jessica Freeman by phone or text at 205-270-3337 to drop off items or for more information about how you can help!
