Growing Hope is Essential!
April 21, 2009
Throughout Baptist Children’s Homes’ history, the number of supporters has grown. Children have been given the opportunity to discover hope because of the growth in the ministry’s support. It is important to give, and give sacrificially, no matter what the amount. But it is also important to grow the number of total gifts received every year. Growing Hope is increasing BCH’s number of supporters. You have the power to help!
Please help BCH grow its number of supporters through the power of your influence. Challenge and commit yourself to doing at least three of the seven tasks below:
1) Encourage three pastors/churches who have not participated in BCH’s annual offering to take an offering this year.
2) Seek five individuals who have never given to BCH before to give this year.
3) Tell three leaders in your community about BCH’s benefits to North Carolina.
4) Invite a BCH representative to speak at your church, before your business and/or to a community group this year.
5) Ask family members and friends to make a gift to BCH in your honor on your birthday and/or at Christmas.
6) Sign up 20 new Charity & Children subscribers.
7) Pray daily for the children.
Email us and let us know of your commitment to Growing Hope for Baptist Children’s Homes and the boys and girls who count on us all.
