RESOURCES

With Easter approaching this weekend, we wanted to highlight a new resource for families that help open up conversation about our identity in Christ.

Whose Am I? is a bilingual (Spanish/English) children’s book that shares true life experiences about adoption, redemption, and finding our identity in Christ.Because it is written for children and parents together, this book provides opportunities to discuss difficult topics, such as abandonment and identity.

We believe this book could be an excellent resource for any foster or adoptive families as well as those who would like more insight into helping others find their identity in Christ. Visit our Amazon store to purchase a book for yourself or more as gifts.

LIFELINE CHILDREN'S SERVICES

The 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.
