Abstract Using the riverside account surrounding the events of Moses’ birth in Exodus 2:1–10 as a structural guide, the article explores whether Christian higher education institutions ought to adopt administrative policies, programs, and practices that extend specific support to students from foster care aspiring to earn a postsecondary degree that are enrolling or already enrolled at such institutions. Drawing from compelling scholarship and Scripture, I argue that, yes, administrative structures established at Christian higher education institutions ought to demonstrate intentional care toward students from foster care participating in the academy and support their desires to develop academically, professionally, personally, and spiritually for two significant reasons. First, the distinct Kingdom-centric aim of Christian higher education compels colleges and universities to administratively respond in ways that support students from foster care unavailable at pluralistic institutions. Second, as “imitators of God” (Ephesians 5:1), Christians—and, by extension, the cultures, systems, and approaches they have created to live life, such as institutions of higher learning—should reflect God's character, as revealed in Scripture, as One who cares for vulnerable children, such as those in foster care. Although some Christian higher education institutions already provide such administrative support to students from foster care in ways that are typically unavailable at pluralistic institutions. In response, I offer suggestions for practice and further research with the hope of encouraging institutional leaders to consider how Christian higher education administrative structures may further advance the Kingdom by supporting students from foster care.

在基督教高等教育中关爱寄养青年：从芦苇中呼唤

摘要 以出埃及记 2:1-10 中围绕摩西出生事件的河畔记载为结构指南，本文探讨了基督教高等教育机构是否应该采取行政政策、计划和做法，向寄养学生提供具体支持。有志于获得在此类机构注册或已经注册的高等教育学位的护理。根据令人信服的奖学金和圣经，我认为，是的，基督教高等教育机构建立的行政结构应该对参加学院的寄养学生表现出有意的关怀，并支持他们在学业、专业、个人和精神上发展的愿望两个重要原因。第一的，基督教高等教育以王国为中心的独特目标迫使学院和大学在行政上做出回应，以支持多元化机构无法提供的寄养学生。其次，作为“效法上帝的人”（以弗所书 5:1），基督徒——以及他们为生活而创造的文化、制度和方法，如高等教育机构——应该反映上帝的品格，正如所启示的那样在圣经中，作为照顾弱势儿童（例如寄养儿童）的人。尽管一些基督教高等教育机构已经以多元化机构通常无法提供的方式为寄养学生提供此类行政支持。作为回应，
