From Movie Guide Organization: Actress, singer and former Movieguide® Awards host Jen Lilley said that despite her many accolades, her personal favorite achievement is her time spent as a mother.
“I suppose my top three professional projects are THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS, U.S.S. CHRISTMAS and THE ARTIST, if I had to pick. And personally, being a foster and adoptive parent through Childhelp and working to establish the Tulsa Girls Home are my greatest achievements,” she told City Lifestyle.
Aside from her appearance in Academy-Award-winning productions such as THE ARTIST, she is also known for several Hallmark Christmas movies.
However, Lilley became one of many actors to tout the up-and-coming GAC Family, founded by former Hallmark CEO, Bill Abbott…
Lilley began her work with the organization in 2011 and is candid about her advocacy for children’s safety and well-being.
“I could literally write a book on my foster care journey and the ways it’s shaped me and adjusted my perspective on so many things in life, but I’ll simply say that being a foster and adoptive parent is the greatest experience of my life,” Lilley said. “While foster parenting is also the hardest thing I’ve ever done, it’s the most rewarding. The way it breaks you as a person is difficult but beautiful, because it opens your heart to new levels of love and empathy you really can’t experience any other way… I understand that not everyone is called to be a foster parent, but everyone is called to care for the children in the broken foster care system.”
“These are children who experienced an extremely traumatic set of circumstances through no fault of their own, who deserve the same love, safety, and education as any other child,” she added. “If we don’t do something, who will? There are so many ways to get involved.”

God communicates in and through people who do not necessarily recognize Him as their Savior as is the case of Abimelec. As with him, she listened to a need and showed mercy, like I’m supposed to do. She may have been the only Bible the children have ever seen.
Oh my goodness, this lady is an incredible woman who loves the Lord deeply and is truly spirit filled! Her love and fight for these children come out of her relationship with Jesus Christ and I’m continually amazed by her! Thank you for lifting her up in prayer as she advocates for children in the broken systems as well as for all these children who are not always able to have Jesus with skin on in their lives.
