Thank you for stepping up to do your part for vulnerable kids. You are crucial to this movement. As you begin to use CarePortal to enhance and boost your ministry, we want to encourage you to seek out the face of our savior as you serve His children. I have some tips and tools... but allowing the Spirit of God to lead us directly into HIS way is by far the best way to proceed.
0. Pray. Before I even give you the numbered list of resources, I start here, at ZERO with prayer. We'd all like to think that "of course" we should pray, but this work is hard and spiritually challenging. Pray first, pray next, pray last and keep praying. Following God works best when He leads.

5.Testimony Collection:
Here’s my collection of CarePortal testimonies https://renae566.wixsite.com/servantlife
Feel free to share these as you begin to collect your own … I use this easy formula:
"A testimony of what God has done + A highlighted need or two = An invitation to JOIN in the Lord’s work!"
Welcome to the CarePortal team! We are so excited to serve children and partner in the gospel with you! I can't wait to see what God will astound us with in YOUR corner of the globe!
