Andy and Martha Cook never planned to have a large family. But God built upon the firm foundations of their upbringings. He stoked a desire in the Cooks to bring hurting children into their home.
In this episode, the Cooks share how God brought them 10 children, who range from ages 22 to six (including five high school boys!). Andy now serves as the president and CEO of Promise686, an organization that mobilizes church communities to care for vulnerable children and the families who adopt and foster them. Tune in to hear about the ways that God can raise up communities around families who welcome children with traumatic backgrounds into their homes
