When Liz Coates saw the plight of foster care in Hall County, she said she knew the congregation at First Baptist Church in Gainesville needed to know. “When my eyes kind of got opened about what’s going on, I’m like ‘The church needs to know this,’” the minister of outreach said. “I feel like if the Christian community were more aware and if the Christian community felt they had one another to work together on trying to be part of a solution ... then maybe we could try to be part of helping getting kids some homes.”
