Foster Family, continued from page 13<br />
and is an encourager to families in their walk of faith and fostering.<br />
Kevin, who has been in ministry for over 20 years, also often<br />
writes about topics pertaining to fostering and adoption in his<br />
blog at www.followingtolead.com.<br />
Wagner said the Easts have also extended grace and love<br />
to the birth families of the children they have fostered and<br />
know the value of a birth family regardless of the outcome of<br />
the case. The couple makes efforts to teach Hannah and Levi<br />
about their birth families and how they came to be a part of<br />
their family.<br />
Stephanie said with the need for foster parents being so<br />
great in the area, she loves knowing that they have found a way<br />
to help the community and families.<br />
“These kids do not have a voice. I love knowing that this is<br />
an opportunity for us to give them a voice, no matter how long<br />
we have them,” she said.<br />
Kevin added, “God is a missional God and therefore we as<br />
believers are missional people. Fostering provides a great opportunity<br />
for families to join in God’s redemptive work by opening<br />
their home.”<br />
