Courageous Love was founded in 2024, and inspired by the personal experiences of Andrew and Lindsay as foster parents in Colorado. Lindsay says, "It is one thing to get trained and another to be in the trenches." They sought to create a ministry that would address these needs through faith-based support and community engagement.

Andrew and Lindsay have currently fostered three placements and 10 children total in the course of one year. Together, they discovered common difficulties particularly in accessing essential resources, balancing a new schedule filled with many therapies (food therapy, physical therapy, behavior therapy, etc.) and multiple visitations with biological parents.

Foster children deal with constant trauma by going back and forth between new foster homes and biological visitations. These kids deal with more trauma when biological parents DON'T SHOW UP or CANCEL a visit. Then, foster parents are left to pick up the pieces of these children's broken hearts. Many of these kids are scared, anxious, confused, and sometimes angry when they don’t understand what is happening to them.

“My command is this: LOVE each other as I have loved you.” John 15:12
