LIFELINE CHILDREN'S SERVICESThe mission of Lifeline Children’s Services is to equip the Body of Christ to manifest the gospel to vulnerable children. Our vision is for vulnerable children and their communities to be transformed by the gospel and to make disciples. Lifeline seeks to come alongside local churches to resource them to proclaim the gospel through caring for vulnerable children. Whether it be through adoption, foster care, orphan care, or education and counseling, our mission is accomplished when we help churches to live out James 1:27 in their communities and to the ends of the earth. Lifeline assists families with international adoption in all 50 states, each of the U.S. territories and with U.S. citizens living abroad. Lifeline also assists families who already have a primary provider, are living in one of our licensed states and are interested in contract home study services. Additionally, Lifeline serves women in unexpected pregnancies and families through domestic adoption.

Join us as Herbie Newell talks with Pam Parish about her ministry Connections Homes, being an author, and post-adoptive parenting. Pam Parish is the founder and executive director of Connections Homes an organization birthed out of her personal story as a mom to eight daughters (all currently between the ages of 22 – 26)—one birth daughter and seven adopted daughters from various circumstances (foster care, aging out of foster care, adoption disruption, trafficking, and homelessness). She has more than 10 years of experience in foster care, trauma-informed care, and crisis parenting. She is also the author of three devotional-style books used worldwide as a standard for helping families prepare for foster care and adoption (Ready or Not, released in 2012), to “stay in the game” when they are tired and worn out (Battle-Weary Parents, released in 2015), and to understand the importance of the gift they can be in a child’s life who has no one (The Gift, released in 2018). Pam is a wife of 27 years to her high school sweetheart, Steve. They are the parents and grandparents of eight young adult daughters, three sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. They live on a small 12-acre farm just outside of Atlanta where all of their free time is spent with animals, in gardens, and around the fire pit. https://connectionshomes.org/ Subscribe on iTunes | Stitcher Email: [email protected] Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/lifelinechild Twitter: @lifelinechild Instagram: lifelinechild
