Gift A Lift: From Foster Care to First Car

Remember your first car? Freedom. Responsibility. Opportunity.  Young people in foster care need reliable transportation for work and school.
 
Your registration is a donation that helps Calvary partners RaisingHOPE and James Storehouse find reliable vehicles for teens and young adults in foster care. For these young people, it’s the difference between moving forward—or being stuck. Your first car changed your life, your donation can help change theirs.

If you’d like to donate with a check, put Gift A Lift in the memo and drop it off in any of the giving boxes on our campus.

Day 1: Pray That They Will Know Jesus

Scripture to Read

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3

Things to Remember

  1. Your greatest hope for your child is not simply that they are successful, safe, happy, or well behaved. It is that they know Jesus.
  2. You can teach them about God, bring them to church, and model faith for them, but only God can transform their heart.


Prayers to Pray

  1. Jesus, help them know You. Open their eyes to see who You are and draw them into a genuine relationship with You.
  2. Jesus, help them love You. May their faith become more than knowledge, tradition, or something inherited from our family.
  3. Jesus, help them follow You. Give them a lifelong desire to trust You, obey You, and walk with You.
