 Being a foster parent brings many challenges and new needs into a family. Foster Connect will provide support to Christian foster families, enabling them to do their ministry as foster parents even better. This includes practical support, but also emotional and spiritual support. Foster Connect is a ministry of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Las Vegas. Our mission as Foster Connect is to connect volunteers to opportunities in the foster care world, connect foster families to the resources that they need, and to connect foster foster families to other foster families, all in the community of Las Vegas.
Ray and Clare Biggerstaff are faithful members of South Hills Church Community and we are blessed to honor their dedication as leaders of Foster Connect with our prayers, volunteer projects and events, as well as financial assitance. Please visit their web-site for more information.
Connecting volunteers to opportunities, families to resources, and families to families.

Volunteers to Opportunities: Within the Las Vegas foster care system there are an abundance of opportunities which Foster Connect would like to match with the abundance of positive role models in churches throughout the city. As Christians we have the responsibility to care for the needs of society, and we would like to raise awareness regarding this particular need and challenge Christians to respond. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)
Families to Resources: Being a foster parent brings many challenges and new needs into a family. Foster Connect will provide support to Christian foster families, enabling them to do their ministry as foster parents even better. This includes practical support, but also emotional and spiritual support.
Families to Families: Experienced foster parents have much to offer. Thus, we would like to match them with the less experienced foster parents so that they can benefit from their knowledge. We will network foster families together so that they never feel alone, and through friendships, can have their own support base. In addition, to further promote healthy families in Las Vegas, we will encourage Christian foster families to connect with their foster child's biological parents in a meaningful way.
