In this episode of The Forgotten Podcast, Jami sits down with TFI Ministries Director Holly Gnuse to talk about the heart behind The Forgotten Initiative’s Advocate program and how ordinary people can play a meaningful role in supporting the foster care community.
Holly shares how the Advocate program began and how God used a simple desire to help children experiencing brokenness to spark a movement that now mobilizes churches across the country. What started as a small effort to support caseworkers and care for children has grown into a structured program that equips volunteers to build relationships with local foster care agencies and rally their churches to provide practical support.
