Missionary Moments
Dear Island Chapel,
Thank you for your recent gift to Florida Baptist
Children's Homes. Your gift will help us serve more
children than ever before in this new year!
Florida Baptist Children's Homes welcomes
new children onto our campuses and into our foster
homes daily. Many of these children come from
seemingly hopeless situations. Whether a child is in our
care for one day or for one year, we strive to make a
positive, lasting impact on their life. Although 6 year old
Jessa was only with us for 24 hours, in that short time
her head lice was treated, she was provided clean
clothes and most importantly, shown the love of Christ.
Jessa was given new hope that day.
Throughout the year, we work to provide care
and hope to children like 8 year old Hannah who was
brought to the Children's Homes from unimaginable
conditions. Hannah is now healthy and thriving in a
loving home with Christian foster parents! Through the
help of your gifts, we are able to provide children like
Hannah and Jessa with a loving home, food, clothing,
medical care, education opportunities and spiritual
guidance.
Again, thank you for your support as we strive to
share Christ's love in tangible ways.
Together for Children,
Jerry Haag
