They could ... but that also would require specialized training to work with her unique needs ... or at least some way to partner with organizations that do. We deal with this at my church to a certain extent ... having to balance the needs of people we are already serving with people who need more advanced care. Most churchgoers are average people with no ability to cope with the aftermath of meth addiction and the presence of serious mental health challenges ... but at my church, we do try to find partnerships to meet the needs we can't.

REMEMBER: Christ is God. There is no possible mental or physical challenge He cannot heal. Average not-God Christians: not so much, and that should be understood ... but average Christians can be challenged to do better. The case of the one you love is a TOUGH ONE for any organization that serves children to handle; what would have been needed was a trained, compassionate specialist to stand in the gap for her at that moment. Immanuel Baptist Church needs to partner up ... but maybe they don't know that, yet. El Bethel Missionary Baptist Church had to learn ... maybe Immanuel can, too.
