Founders And Directors


​
Our Story
Billy and April have been married for 25 years. They are blessed with 3 children, Gabe, Zoe, and Zane. They have been privileged to serve in full-time ministry for the past 24 years and are currently the Lead Pastors of The River Assembly of God in Burkburnett, Texas.
​
Billy and April have a heart to see the 20,000 plus children aging out of the foster care system each year become contributing and benefiting members of a forever family. They hope to inspire healthy families across the United States to consider helping the 515,000 children currently being fostered. It is their desire to build a community of people focused on advocating and giving voice to the overlooked and forgotten children of our society.
