Wednesday kickoff · October 7
See the true story of a Texas church that adopted 77 children from foster care.
Get $1 ticketYou may not foster or adopt—but you can strengthen a caregiver, mentor a young adult, meet a need, or help your church stay for the journey.
For more than 20 years, HFLM has equipped local churches to lead practical, community-rooted care.
“See the need. Seek God. Stand in the gap. Stay for the journey.— The Stand movement
One child asked Bishop Aaron and Mary Blake for help. Their answer moved a family, a congregation, and eventually churches across America to stand with children and families.
Will you help me?
One child’s question became a call to churches everywhere.
What began as a personal yes became a church-wide response—and a movement committed to making sure children, families, and caregivers do not stand alone.
Watch the origin storyThe next generation
Alex Blake reflects on how moving toward suffering draws us closer to Jesus. His voice shows Stand Sunday is a family-carried, multi-generational commitment.
