In today's Undivided Birmingham podcast, Dr. Chris Crain interviews Dr. Willie Brunetti, founder of The Comfort For Caregivers Seminar which is dedicated to educating and empowering caregivers whose work is vital for the welfare of sick and disabled people. Dr. Brunetti became the caregiver to his father, mother, and mother-in-law all at the same time and all living in the same house with his wife and children. He saw the trauma that the circumstance bought to his family. Later he became the caregiver for his wife who came down with a devastating disease that lasted 15 years until she passed away in 2019. From his experiences in caregiving, a ministry was born. The seminar provides pertinent information that will enrich and support the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of caregivers. The seminar also encourages churches to create care ministries to the caregiver to aid the caregiver in managing the turmoil and stress of their lives.

Dr. Brunetti has travelled thousands of miles and spoken in hundreds of churches leading the Comfort for Caregivers seminar as a way to give spiritual support to those who have become caregivers or who will become caregivers. He is available to speak in your church.

In this episode of Undivided Birmingham, Jeff Hurn of Alabama Baptist Childrens Home shares about the ministry of foster care provided by ABCH.

ABCH was founded in 1891 by Rev. John Stewart as an orphanage after the Civil War left so many children in need of care due to the loss of their parents.

Today, about 6,000 children are placed in foster care with the State through DHR. ABCH steps in to help DHR by connecting with area churches that have families willing to open their homes and offer Christian foster care as a ministry to these children in need.
