Providing missions opportunities is a blessing that continues to inspire and encourage the children Baptist Children’s Homes serves while giving NC Baptist volunteers a glimpse inside the statewide ministry.
Friends of Children Saturday missions days in the fall and spring have not only seen church volunteers tackle a number of projects at BCH’s numerous locations, but it is introducing the next generation of NC Baptists to the ministry.
“Because Friends of Children is organized with all ages in mind, we have continuously seen more and more young people be a part of the day,” says Brenda Gray, BCH Executive Vice President, Development & Communications. “We learn, for many of them, that it is an opportunity for their leaders to take them on their first mission trip. That is an exceptional blessing for us.”
As volunteers tackle a number of projects both indoors and outdoors, their efforts open up gospel conversations between BCH caregivers and the boys and girls in their care.
“Our NC Baptist volunteers are here because they love the Lord,” Gray continues. “They model the servant’s heart of Christ for our children. It is a testimony of His love for them.”
