Bethany Christian Services "Safe Families" Initiative Often times, families in crisis just need 30-45 days to get help, put together a plan, and get back on their feet. Until now, the children of those families often end up in foster care. The "Safe Families" initiative is a way of providing temporary (30-45 days) housing for children, while the parent(s) work through their issues. Bethany is challenging Unite! churches to each raise up 1-5 families in their congregations who would be willing to serve as a "Safe Family" for children of families in crisis. For more information, contact Amy Harris, Safe Families Case Coach for Bethany, at 770-274-3449 or aharris@bethany.org. "Half Hour Heroes" in Gwinnett Public Schools Half Hour Heroes is a brand new call to action that Unite! churches developed to invite churches, local businesses, and communities to volunteer as mentors and tutors in our local public schools. The vision of Unite! churches is for every child in need of a mentor or tutor in public schools throughout metro Atlanta to have the mentor or tutor that they need. Being a mentor is really just being a friend. All it takes is 30 minutes a week to be a hero to a kid. By just showing up and expressing an interest in a child, volunteers can make a huge impact in a child's life (i.e. self esteem, grades, attitude, etc.). For more information, contact Drue Warner at 678-405-2227 or druew@perimeter.org. Watch Video (NOTE; for faster download, click on HD to turn off the High Definition download).
