Divorce is a traumatic life event for an large number of children in our society. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge for the local church.
In this podcast, I talk with Wayne Stocks about his new website focused on ministry to children of divorce.

Since 1972, over 1,000,000 kids each year have joined the ranks of the children of divorce. These kids face struggles which are very unique and very real. And, unfortunately, many of our churches are ill-equipped to deal with the special needs of this growing segment of their congregations. Whether they worry about addressing the issue of divorce for fear of alienating their congregations, pretend that the problem simply does not exist, or simply fail to recognize the magnitude of the issue, many churches are ill-equipped to deal with, or minister to, children of divorce.

This is awesome and important because so many homes are broken and we need to have a ministry to these children that are hurting. My heart has always gone out to the underdogs of the world, perhaps because I was one. They are out there, special needs, lonely, alone. scared, and need the love, comfort and security of christians and Jesus. Thank you for all you do to help bulid the kingdom of God.
