Family Advocacy Ministry
Churches
Florida 1.27 equips local churches with the strategy, system, and coaching needed to serve vulnerable children and support families in crisis.
Your FAM helps your church:
Pray and advocate for children in crisis and child welfare workers
Wrap around families with meals, respite, and emotional support
Meet physical needs with practical resources and emergency support
Encourage Child Welfare Workers through appreciation initiatives
Every church can do something. MyFAM makes it simple, organized, and effective.
What is MyFAM?
MyFAM is the web-based software created by Promise 686 that empowers local church Family Advocacy Ministries (FAMs) to easily manage and mobilize support for vulnerable children, foster and adoptive families, and biological families in crisis.
How MyFAM Works (3-Step Overview)
Identify Needs:
Church members or local partners post tangible, practical needs (care communities, meals, babysitting, prayer, physical supplies).
Mobilize Care:
Church volunteers receive notification of opportunities to serve tailored to their availability and comfort level.
Sustain Impact:
The platform keeps care wrap-around teams organized so families feel consistently supported without volunteer burnout.
