Emancipated youth or minors in the foster care system are separated from their families and often times are raised in unstable conditions. Thus affecting their childhood and impacting the decisions they make and who they will become as future adults.…

Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…
