Linda's Letter

A new year often brings about a fresh perspective. We reflect on the past and look forward to the future. As I have been planning for the year 2022 at Baptist Children’s Home, a moment came to mind. My sister remarked to me that a BCH (Baptist Children’s Home) trip she took with me years ago was a “once in a lifetime moment.” This began our theme for the upcoming year: “2022 A Year of Once in a Lifetime Moments.” I hope you will share our excitement for the paths we will blaze this year.

Homes of Compassion

We are excited to announce the launch of our new ministry “Homes of Compassion.” Homes of Compassion will help us care for families in crisis. Read more about Homes of Compassion on page 2. We hope to expand this ministry much further as we have a network of staff and highly trained volunteers. Please pray for us as our goal is to add 25 families into our network in the Northwest Indiana region in early 2022. We all look forward to the day when it expands to other places across the country.

Trauma Training In 2022

BCH plans to add an extension to our current biblical counseling program with more counselors and programs with training in trauma care. This will be a unique opportunity for us to provide resources and expertise to those experiencing trauma, or those with a ministry to someone experiencing trauma. Additional updates about this program and how to bring it to your church or group will be coming in 2022.

Hearts of Compassion

Hearts of Compassion is our plan to care for more children and families around the world. One of the examples of this is Zambia (read more on page 3). By partnering with the local church, we can provide care for more children as well as improve and extend our level of care for their needs. As Lemoyne Baptist Church member Tim M. says, “This project is a home run!” This ministry will be funded through child sponsorship. This is already happening for seven orphans in Nepal, and we have seen such a change in their lives. My hope is for each child to have 10 partners who support them financially and with prayer. Please consider if you would like to participate in sponsoring a child in need. Looking forward to 2022 and the work the Lord gives us,
