Here are some ways ministries have helped, from which our kids can always benefit. Prayer. Add our kids and their families to your prayer lists at church and remember them as you pray. Spirituality services. Can include music, devotionals, games, dramas, snacks – whatever you are led to provide. Spirituality services can be customized to match your mission, gifts and talents. Contribute. Pledge to donate funds to purchase bibles and spiritual study materials for our moms in Arkansas CARES and the kids in our programs throughout the state. You also can donate to the Rev.
