Orphan Care Alliance

OCA is an organization based out of Louisville, Ky, that seeks to equip, connect, and mobilize Christians to serve vulnerable children and families. Their vision is for the Church to lead the efforts of caring for the foster and adoptive community in Kentucky and southern Indiana. Pray for OCA as an organization, that God would provide all they need to excel in serving the foster and adoptive community. Pray for the team at OCA, that they would each be equipped for the ministry they provide on a daily basis. Also, pray for the foster and adoptive community in Nelson County, that God would use the efforts of OCA of sharing the gospel with children and families to save.

Practical Shepherding was founded by Brian Croft, author and former Pastor of Auburndale Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, to serve as a resource center for pastors and church leaders to equip them in the practical matters of pastoral ministry. Practical Shepherding equips, encourages, and edifies pastors from London, Kentucky to London, England to lead and teach their people well by providing theological training and resources to them. We are convinced that partnering with this group to better equip pastors means exponential benefits as they glorify God by making disciples.
