Thanksgiving Offering

Because you give, lives are changed!

Did you know 70% of Baptist Children's Homes' residents are unchurched and unreached for Jesus?

Because of Baptists give to the Annual Offering, children are introduced to Christ's life-changing love. Boys and girls have the opportunity to experience a love and a hope that they will carry with them throughout this earthly life and beyond!

Scripture...2 Corinthians 5:17: “1Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.."

The offering theme for 2011 is Changed! Just as the Spring’s first caterpillar bursts forth from its cocoon to emerge as a beautiful butterfly, children living at Baptist Children’s Homes experience a metamorphosis of their own. Christian houseparents nurture boys and girls, many who have never experienced the compassion of a caring adult, and teach them about Jesus. And as children, like Kourri, hear more about His life-changing love, God carefully knits a cocoon around their hearts. Like the caterpillar, when the moment is right, children’s hearts and lives are transformed. They are a new creature in Christ. There is nothing else like it!

Our statewide offering goal this year is $1,450,000. The annual offering empowers Baptist Children’s Homes to offer hope to children. It is imperative we meet the offering goal so that we may provide care to the hundreds of children who turn to Baptist Children's Homes each year. You can help! Encourage your church's leadership to participate in this year's offering.
