Common Threads and Uncommon Giving

A frail, weak little girl named Cecilia was rescued from an abusive home. Michael is now with a Safe Family. Robert has been reunited with a loving dad. Francesca has a backpack full of school supplies and a new Bible. Mari and her three children have a home. Walt and Chelsea have a new adopted son. Reynalda who was at the brink of starvation is now thriving!

All of these are children have had their lives and eternities forever changed. Do you realize what the common thread is in all these changed lives? It is the uncommon and unselfish giving provided by each of you.

Michael is safe because a family in South Florida volunteered to open their home. Francesca has a backpack, school supplies, and a Bible because of our partnership with Moody Radio, Family Christian Stores, and individuals all across the country like Bobby and Yvonne Musselwhite who sacrificed their time and money to collect them.

Pictured above Dr. Jerry Haag and his wife Christi hold some of the babies that are cared for at the Children’s Malnutrition Center in San Juan, Guatemala. The Center is one of the key ministry locations for Orphan’s Heart, the international childcare ministry of the Children’s Homes.
Women of Compassion provided a home for Mari and her children in Guatemala. Together with volunteer teams and partners like Sieg Hildebrandt, we will provide 50 homes for children and their mothers in developing countries.

Throughout this site you will see the common theme of uncommon giving for the sake of children. Individuals, churches, and organizations that all agree with this simple yet profound truth: We are responsible to help these children.

Every effort, volunteer service, and financial gift is critical. The Florida Baptist Children’s Homes is a trusted partner. We have the expertise, the plans, and the ability to organize the volunteers.

However, the most incredible dreams and plans we have to help children will end as empty dreams without each of us giving financially. As you look through this issue of Sharing, find the work that fuels your passion and jump in! Thank you for giving and changing the lives of very special children.
