Be a Part of our NewLife Family Care Ministry

NewLife Fairfield has partnered with Promise 686, which is a non-profit ministry committed to seeing vulnerable children get the care they need by partnering with local churches and state agencies. The stated goal of Promise 686 is to see every child in a safe, loving family. Their name comes from Psalms 68:6, which says, in part, “God sets the lonely in families.”

How It Works:

The Montana Department of Family Services (DFS) will identify a child who is at risk for entering foster care, in foster care, or reunited with their family.  They will send out a need the child or family has, and our Family Care Pastor, Char Bunker, will forward that need to the volunteers on our Family Care Ministries Team. If they can assist with that need, they will text or email Char of their willingness and ability to help meet that need. The DFS case worker will be notified, and the NewLife Family Care Ministry team will deliver the needed items to the DFS office or to the family directly, depending on the situation. Commonly needed items include food, clothing, beds and bedding, respite care, transportation, school supplies, and assorted toiletries. Financial help may also be a need to be met, but this will only happen in closely supervised situations. NewLife has set aside funds for this specific purpose.
