Support the 2008 Offering

September 22, 2008

Click here to visit the 2008 Offering page. Watch this year's video, "A Loving Touch." Learn how you and your church can help Baptist Children's Homes meet this year's $1,410,000 offering goal.

The 2008 offering theme, A Loving Touch is inspired by God's great love for children. Mark 10:13-16: “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.”
