Missional Fostering : A Temporary Assignment, A Tremendous Cause, A Timeless Impact Paperback / softback
by Dawn Stone, Jon Stone
Paperback / softback
Description
Seasonal Parents?
It happens every Christmas all over the country, all over the world. Large signs are placed in windows and on doors with these words: "Now hiring seasonal workers." If you get that job, you will not be obligated forever. You are just signing up for a short stint to help some people with a need. That's the idea behind this book.
Missional fostering is the other lane of the fostering freeway, and it recognizes that you are not necessarily trying to add a new child into your home. Missional fostering is parenting someone else's child for them for a short period of time. Missional fostering means we love on them, feed them, hold them, stabilize them, cuddle with the young ones, high-five the big ones, and then watch them drive away to a long-term foster-to-adopt home. Mission accomplished. Missional fostering reminds us that it is a temporary assignment, for a tremendous cause, making a timeless impact on children one life at a time.
"Something special happens when a person says, 'I'm willing to be your really good temporary if it helps you find your even better forever.' This is fos- ter care, and it's the compelling message you'll feel resonating from every page of Missional Fostering."
Jason Johnson,
