We Visited 19 States in 19 Days-Here's What We Learned Part 2
This episode of The Table by Lifeline Children's Services serves as Part 2 of the team's reflection on their 19 States in 19 Days journey. While sharing some funny, some behind-the-scenes or just a few favorite memories from the road, the hosts focus primarily on how they witnessed churches and individual believers caring for vulnerable children and families across the country.
The conversation highlights powerful examples of Lifeline's mission in action, including adoptive and foster families whose lives have been transformed through the work of the body of Christ, children adopted from difficult circumstances who are now thriving, and churches actively serving families through ministries like Families Count. A particularly impactful story comes from a church in Pensacola, Florida, whose partnership with Lifeline has grown into a broader community effort to support families and prevent unnecessary child removals.
Through it all, Herbie, Rob and Ford emphasize the mission of Lifeline in equipping the body of Christ to bring the gospel to vulnerable children and encourage listeners to get involved.
