Our guests today are Bobby and Stephanie Simons. The Simons have lived in Hurst, TX since 2016. They are currently foster parents and have one biological daughter named “Ella” who is almost seven. They both work full time and have a very busy schedule but felt the Lord calling them to minister through foster care. Despite their original plans to not have children, they heard the call from God and chose to listen and obey, trusting God to provide for their needs. The Simon’s story is about being the hands and feet of Jesus to kids and directing them toward him. They want to encourage people that no one can foster in their own strength but with the power of the Holy Spirit and trusting in Him anyone can do it.

Our guest today is Karly Pancake. She grew up in Middletown, Delaware and has lived in Denton, Texas for the last six years. Karly and her husband started out as foster parents and now they have two adopted children, Kendrick, and KK, and one biological son, Eli. She would describe her story as redemptive, challenging, sanctifying, and beautiful. Karly wants to share her story to let people know that “just because something is “hard” it doesn’t mean it has to be “bad.”’ She wants foster and adoptive families to know “that they are doing beautiful, holy, hard work that is incredibly important.” We can’t wait to dive deeper into her story today.
