Episode 02: Recruitment and Discipleship with Gabe Forsyth

Encouraging more people in your church to get involved in foster care can feel daunting. The opportunities are endless, the need is massive and sometimes it feels like the response from those around you is less than enthusiastic. So, how do you as a church leader help motivate people with a sense of calling and purpose? What processes can you put in place that help shepherd them along their journey as they take steps forward in what God is calling them to do? Are there differences between “recruiting” people to meet a need and “discipling” them to obey whatever God has asked them to do? Questions like these, among others, are important ones for us as church leaders to consider as we take steps towards becoming more actively engaged in foster care. In episode 2 of The Fostering Church Podcast, the Jasons talk with Gabe Forsyh, the Mission Pastor at Mosaic Church, a dynamic church in Orlando, FL. Gabe gets to lead a team of staff and volunteers committed to equipping and mobilizing their church to live on mission and making the gospel known through acts of justice and mercy with a significant emphasis on addressing the needs of the foster care community in their city. Gabe joins us to help provide a framework of recruitment and discipleship they have found to be foundational in their work at Mosaic and we believe you will find to be helpful in your church as well.
