Faith to Action Workshop: Dr. Andrea Siegel explains how to conduct a Breaking Bread Table Fellowship. This is the recommended video training for those who will be acting as the Conversation Facilitators regardless of the version of the series that will be used during your event.
We invite you to find the best way to incorporate the comprehensive infographic from the Barna Study into your event plans. The infograpic captures the study's conclusions about how Christians in the US think about orphan care and the billions of dollars funneled into orphanages every year from US congregations.
This is a good resource to educate conversation facilitators on the facts. See Page 7 Facilitator's Guide on use | ||||||

Global Church Pledge
A potential "Next Steps" concluding activity for your fellowship is signing the Global Church Pledge, as individuals or on behalf of your partnership. You can do that at the end of this event, or set up a special follow-up event and invite others to that event as well.
The pledge states "We believe God designed families as the best environment for children and young people to receive the love, belonging, and protection they need in order to flourish. Therefore, on behalf of vulnerable children around the world, we commit to support efforts which strengthen families, invest in family-based solutions, and combat the root causes of their vulnerability. You, as an individual do not have to wait to sign during the event.
We invite you to sign the pledge today at globalchurchpledge.org
