Family Advocacy MinistrY

What is Family Advocacy Ministry?

"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause."
Isaiah 1:17

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

James 1:27

Table On Delk

Gather around the table at Table on Delk to help serve and mentor women in our community affected by sex trafficking. Many of these women have children living with them in extended stay hotels on Delk road. You can see all the ways you can serve at Table on Delk here. 

As followers of Christ, we are called to love our neighbor, including the most vulnerable - orphans and widows.  Our Family Advocacy Ministry’s mission is to love, serve, and meet the needs of women and children who are either at-risk of entering the foster care system, are currently in the foster care system, as well foster and/or adoptive families. Many of these families have experienced or been affected by trauma and often these families do not have a lot of outside support even for daily needs. That is where the Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) comes in and walks alongside these families as they navigate either fighting poverty and keeping their family together or adjusting to a new child in the family who has been separated from their biological family and helping the child heal from trauma.

There are many incredible organizations in Cobb County serving vulnerable women and children and we have partnered with the following organizations in order to minister to the community around us:

Opportunities to Serve

Brumby Elementary School

Brumby Elementary School is a Title I school less than a mile from Sojourn and their community includes many families who are vulnerable and struggling. By helping the teachers at Brumby get their lesson plans and supplies for class ready, you allow the teachers more space to care for these precious children where their class may be the only consistent thing in their life. 

You can sign up here to serve in the school workroom. You can sign up just one time or you can sign up for multiple weeks. It’s completely flexible.
