How Any Church Can Serve Those Involved in Foster Care (feat. Mireya Scholes, Atascocita Community Church)

The Riverside Project Podcast

This episode of The Riverside Project Podcast is hosted by Chandler James, our Director of Church Mobilization. We are so excited to have him in this seat today!
Collaboration is a big part of what we do at The Riverside Project. It’s how we connect, share resources, communicate about the needs of families and children in foster care, and more. For this episode, we are taking an inside look at how one person’s passion has led to a vibrant foster care and adoptive ministry at their church, all through collaboration.
Chandler is joined by Mireya Scholes. She is a former foster youth, a mom, and leads a ministry to help support adoptive families, foster and kinship families, and families that are at-risk in and around Houston. Mireya is a native Houstonian and has attended her home church, Atascocita Community Church, for over 20 years, which is where she leads the foster care and adoptive support ministry.
In this episode, Mireya shares her own story of being in foster care from the age of thirteen, the power of your personal passion, how to connect those with resources with those who have a need, and much more.
