An unhealthy family is like a dangerous river, filled with rocks, debris, and fast-moving water. This river swiftly leads to the steep waterfall of adulthood, tragically forming a new river of disfunction.
Even if you’re not born into an unhealthy river, there are many streams that cause a person to get there—addiction, homelessness, sex trafficking, etc.
In our region, there are many agencies, churches, and families devoted to help children escape from unhealthy rivers by creating meaningful relationships. Some wade in and rescue children through fostering and adopting. Others stand by the river and provide the rescuers with what they need. Still others are upstream, standing in the gap to prevent kids from ending up in negative situations.
As the pioneers behind Vision 30, we’re running up and down the shores of the unhealthy river shouting at passersby, “Can’t you see the children in the water? You have to do something!”
