Reid Terry Words From Home by Dr. Perry Hancock, President & CEO Recently one of our teenagers sent me a thank you note. She said that she was amazed to know that people really cared about her and loved her. She went on to say that this was the type of family she really needs. I am forwarding that note to you because she was actually thanking you for making her new home possible. Without you she could not have the loving support that she described in her note. Thank you so much. In the September edition of the HomeNews I always give you a sneak preview of our annual report to the churches. This past year has been incredible! With all of our new ministries in place you helped us reach over 6,000 children, families, and individuals in need. Here are the numbers. 149 Children - Residential Ministries вЂў 46 Women - Christian Women's Job Corps 1,900+ - Sellers Maternity Ministries вЂў 2,500+ - Granberry Counseling Centers 78 Families - Foster Care and Adoption вЂў 1,700+ - Orphans Embrace, International In addition, through our new ministry, Reclaimed, you helped us provide trauma counseling for 6 victims of human trafficking and residential care for 3 HT victims. Throughout the year, because of the great investment you have made in the lives of these precious people, many were changed forever as they trusted Christ to be their Savior and Lord. That is truly the greatest news for our report this year and every year. I simply cannot thank you enough for providing the funds needed to expand our work and reach so many with the love and care they need. Please know how grateful we are for your support. Camp Was вЂњAll About Kids!вЂќ One of the many fun activities enjoyed by LBCH residents this summer was a camp sponsored by All About Kids Productions. The camp is led by college students who spend their summer traveling around the U.S., using their artistic expertise to help kids learn about God, as they learn creative arts. This year's theme was "A Hiding Place." Songs, Scripture memory, and dramas presenting the stories of the prodigal son and David and Goliath, presented opportunities for the children to learn about God's love, protection and provision. On Friday night, participants, ages 7 to 17, skillfully and enthusiastically performed for an appreciative audience the songs and skits they had learned during the week, as well as showing off some awesome rhythm skills in the bucket band! This was the second summer to have AAKP on our campus to lead the week-long camp. We can't wait 'til next year!!

The Value of Giving On the wall of President Lyndon Johnson's White House office hung a framed letter written by General Sam Houston to Johnson's great-grandfather, George W. Baines, more than a hundred years earlier. Baines had led Houston to Christ and the general was a changed man, no longer coarse and belligerent, but peaceful and content. After General Houston was baptized, which was an incredible event for those who knew him, he offered to pay half the local minister's salary. When someone asked him why, he said, "My pocketbook was baptized too." Sam Houston demonstrated the reality of God's grace to him by sharing that grace with others through giving. God's covenant people began to learn the value of tithing (required giving) very early. Long before the law of Moses, Abraham tithed to the high priest Melchizedek (Genesis 14:20). Jacob promised a tithe to the Lord (Genesis 28:22). God declared the value of tithing in Deuteronomy 14:23, "вЂ¦so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always." Tithing is intended to train God's people to put Him first in their lives. Tithing reminds us that all we are and all we have is from the Lord. The tithe was never intended to be a ceiling for giving, only a floor. Whereas the tithe was a demonstration of obedience, voluntary offerings were a demonstration of love, joy, gratitude, and worship. In preparation for his son Solomon to build the temple, King David said, "I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided" (1 Chronicles 29:3). Family and tribal leaders followed David's example and gave willingly and generously. Then "the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord" (1 Chronicles 29:6-9). In response to the incredible outpouring of this voluntary giving through God's people, David prayed to the Lord: Who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your handвЂ¦ It comes from Your hand, and all of it belongs to YouвЂ¦ All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly Your people who are here have given to You. O Lord, God of our fathersвЂ¦ Keep this desire in the hearts of Your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to You. (1 Chronicles 29:14, 16-18) The Israelites tithed because God told them to. They gave above and beyond in voluntary offerings because they wanted to. If God's people had not first learned the discipline of tithing, they would have never discovered the joy of voluntary giving! Thank you for sharing your "voluntary giving" with the children and families we serve! You demonstrate the value of giving every time you share with those in need through our Annual Children's Home Sunday Offering, VBS Mission Offerings, Back-To-School gifts, Fall Food Roundup, and Cooperative Program gifts. Thank you for demonstrating the reality of God's grace by sharing His grace with others through giving!

Dear Friend of Children, I hope you're having a great summer! Our boys and girls have been experiencing summer camp, attending Vacation Bible School, and spending time in the pool. It's hard to believe the old school bell will ring in just a few short weeks! Back-to-school needs! Just imagine outfitting all our boy and girls with shoes, socks, pants, shirts, dresses, blouses, and underwear. School supplies and activity fees will be needed for the new school year. Think about eye exams and new glasses, dental exams and new braces. The costs really add up! Many of our children come to us with little more than the clothes they are wearing. That was the case with eight-year-old Janice* and her two younger siblings. With an absentee father and a grandmother unable to provide adequate care, Janice and her younger brother and sister literally came to us with the clothes on their backs. These precious children have really flourished since coming into our care. Janice made excellent grades this year and is looking forward to starting third grade. With the godly influence of her cottage parents and Sunday School teachers, she recently asked her cottage mom what it meant to have a relationship with God. The Lord is working in her tender heart! With your help, we can continue to demonstrate Christ's compassion and concern for Janice and all the children He brings into our care. Thank you for your support in getting our children back-to-school this year. Thank you for caring so much!

This vital, lifesaving ministry partners with churches, associations, pregnancy resource centers, parish festivals, health fairs, organizations, and businesses all across the state providing free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and a positive Christian witness. The MPCC provided a pro-life witness to over 1,900 women in 2012. Many new volunteers received training at several statewide locations. At an MPCC outreach event, volunteers serve as greeters, observers or peer counselors. From the moment clients are greeted, to the one-on-one counseling sessions, they are made to feel welcome and at ease. MPCC staff hope to share pro-life information and lifechanging spiritual principles as they interact with clients at these varied outreach events. MPCC staff work hard to make the time clients spend in the ultrasound room very special. Cindy Kouf, our MPCC registered nurse, says, "We've seen babies from seven weeks forward. It never gets old seeing a baby's heart beating or movement that's not yet felt by the mother." After obtaining the ultrasound вЂў About 13 weeks gestation вЂў images for the doctor to review, clients are given a copy. "We pray this initial picture of her baby will help to ensure the mother will choose life for her unborn child," Cindy shares. If you are interested in partnership opportunities or becoming a volunteer with the Mobile Pregnancy Care Center, please contact Ron or Cindy Kouf at 318-816-3462 or koufs@lbch.org. The MPCC schedule is posted at www.lbch.org and our pregnancy resource emagazine at www.pregnancyanswers.net. We Want To Visit Your Community! Y The Heart of a Child Y Mikayla is a seven-and-a half-year-old who lives in Roseland, Louisiana, with her dad and mom, Michael and Karla Douglas. Mikayla's grandparents, Mitchell and Jodi Warren, have been supporting the Children's Home for a number of years, often delivering their Fall Food Roundup items to the Monroe campus. After learning about the Children's Home from her grandparents, Mikayla decided to do something to help the children who live there. She developed her "business plan" that involved establishing a lemonade stand and selling lemonade and cookies. Mikayla used fresh lemons growing in her backyard from a lemon tree that was bearing an abundant harvest this year. After putting her business plan into action, Mikayla worked hard selling lots of delicious, homemade lemonade and tasty cookies. She said she had to sample some of the cookies along the way. Of course, any good salesperson knows that product testing is essential to being successful in making the sale! I'm sure Mikayla's beautiful smile and bubbly personality also contributed greatly to the success of her sales. Most importantly, her heart demonstrated her desire to help other children! That's such a beautiful picture of unselfish, unconditional love! A seven-and-a half-year-old little girl who wants to help other children that she doesn't even know. No wonder Jesus said in Mark 10:14, "Let the little children come to Me. Don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." What a joy to meet Mikayla and her family! How thrilling to watch Mikayla present her gift of $200 to help the children in our care! Jesus also said, "I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it" (Mark 10:15). Wow! Thank you Mikayla for your generous gift! And thank you for reminding us of our need for childlike humility and unselfish love! 88.7 FM The Cross Christian Radio Hosts Pizza Party for LBCH Children and Staff Staff and family members from The Cross Christian radio station in Monroe served a pizza lunch (compliments of JohnnyвЂ™s Pizza) to LBCH cottage parents, children, and HomePlace children and their moms.

Thanks for making a difference in your community! Adoption Roundtables Recruiting Families for Louisiana's Modern-Day Orphans Louisiana Family Forum, in partnership with Louisiana Baptist Children's Home & Family Ministries, has sponsored Adoption Roundtables across the state, inviting pastors and others who are interested in helping to find Christian homes for children waiting for families in state foster care. Over 4,000 children are currently in state foster care and more than 300 of these modern-day orphans need to find a permanent home through adoption. Louisiana Family Forum's vision is to connect with 100 churches to identify a family within their congregation to adopt a child from state foster care and then to surround that family with additional assistance and support. Gene Mills, president of Louisiana Family Forum, shared, "Imagine a place where every child, including those in Louisiana's foster care system, is a wanted child. The church should find this message of adoption, redemption and unconditional love intuitive!" The first Roundtable was held in West Monroe, featuring Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame. Willie shared his family's story of adoption through a passionate presentation entitled, "Don't Duck Your Dynasty." He encouraged those present to give priority attention to meeting the needs of these most vulnerable children awaiting a forever family. "Watching your adopted child grow up and knowing you had a part in changing that child's life, is a tremendous blessing," Robertson shared. Dr. Perry Hancock, LBCHFM president and CEO, participated in a panel discussion with other leaders to help explain both the needs and the opportunities to meet the needs of these modern-day orphans. "Our Children's Home staff is ready to assist families and churches in developing foster and adoption ministries that will provide the love, care, and hope these children so desperately need," Hancock stated. If you or your church are interested in knowing more about foster care or adoption opportunities, please contact Beth Green at 318343-2244 or beth@lbch.org.

Shreveport Pastor and Church Family Putting James 1:27 into Practice "Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world" (James 1:27, HCSB). Just as God comes to the aid of those in need, those who practice "pure and undefiled religion" "look after orphans and widows," the most vulnerable members of society. Chad Hardbarger, senior pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Shreveport, and his wife, Marsha, are passionate about implementing James 1:27 in their family and their church family. "Most churches do a great job of taking care of the widows, but how many of them take care of the orphans?" Marsha Hardbarger asks. In 8 years, the Hardbargers have fostered 13 children. Some have stayed in their home as little as 24 hours, but 5 have found a permanent home through adoption. Monique (18), Chris (13), Bryce (10), Jordan (8), Gavyn (6), and soon to be adopted Bailey (7) are not only a part of the Hardbarger family, they have all become members of God's forever family through faith in Jesus Christ! Marsha shares, "We show the love of God, the Father, by how we love these vulnerable children. Not only that, but adoption is the greatest picture of God's love for us and it opens the door for us to tell others of His grace. According to Ephesians 1:4-6, God planned to adopt us all along into His forever family, which means adoption is His "Plan A." To help fulfill James 1:27, Emmanuel Baptist Church has started a ministry called "Fashioned for a Home" to raise awareness of the need for Christians to become more involved in the care of foster children and orphans. On Saturday, November 2, 2013, the church will host a workshop produced by Family Life's "Hope for Orphans" where all avenues for adoption, including private, domestic, international, and foster care will be discussed. The church family is also in the process of putting supplies together in "Dignity Bags" for children who are entering foster care for the first time. In the future, members hope to go on mission trips to orphanages, to open a school uniform closet for foster parents, and to provide respite outings for foster and adoptive families. The Hardbargers believe "with God all things are possible!" Emmanuel Baptist Church is a member of the Louisiana Baptist Foster & Adoption Network, a ministry of the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home. This growing network of Louisiana Baptist churches and families is providing foster, adoption, and orphan care ministries to the modern-day orphans in Louisiana foster care and to orphaned and needy children in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Haiti. If you or your church would like to join this strategic network and help bridge the gap between God's heart and His orphans, please contact Beth Green at 318-343-2244 or beth@lbch.org. Louisiana Baptists Minister In Nicaragua by Beth Green Director of Church and Family Ministries Orphans Embrace, a ministry of Louisiana Baptist Children's Home, sponsored a mission trip to Diriamba, Nicaragua in July that included team members from Cheniere Baptist in West Monroe, First Baptist of Monroe, Bonita Road Baptist in Bastrop, Corinth Baptist in Georgetown, Eastwood Baptist in Haughton, Crestview Baptist in Farmerville and Trinity Baptist in West Monroe. The group worked with Nicaraguan Christian Outreach, a Louisiana-based ministry, and assisted with construction of a new dormitory wing at Emmanuel Home of Protection, a children's home for abused girls; served at Colegio Christiano, a Christian day school for grades PreK-12; assisted with a children's feeding program and clothing distribution in several neighborhoods, and distributed beans and rice to needy families in the impoverished neighborhoods surrounding the city's landfill. Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere, and many of the children suffer from malnutrition. This was witnessed first-hand during the mission trip, especially as the team ministered in the neighborhoods near the city's landfill. The only sources of income for many of the families living near the landfill are from selling plastic and metal obtained by combing through mountains of garbage at the landfill. Through God's provision, this mission team prayed with families and provided the families with a week's worth of beans and rice in over 165 homes surrounding the landfill. The team also assisted in serving meals to 300-400 children each day at neighborhood feeding sites. Because of the generosity of so many Louisiana Baptists supporting this mission team, God provided for other needs that were met above and beyond what was originally planned for the trip. School shoes and socks were provided for over 200 students at Colegio Christiano, grocery staples were provided for four of the students' families who were experiencing extreme hardships, and clothing and undergarments were provided for children residing at Emmanuel Home of Protection. A new roof was also built for the home of a single mother suffering from terminal cancer. This need became known when the team stopped at the home to pray with the family. Upon entering the home, several team members noticed a Bible lying on the mother's bed. It was learned that the mother had been praying and crying out to God for help just moments before the team arrived. Peggy Moffett, LBCH mission team member, shared these thoughts about her Nicaragua mission experience: "The next time you sit down for a meal, just imagine what a very small bowl of rice and chicken stock means to a hungry child. The sadness in the dark eyes of the mothers that can't feed their children! I sit and think, Lord, what if that were me and my children? I want to encourage others to go to the mission field that God has called them to serve and spread the love of Jesus." Orphans Embrace will sponsor several mission trips in 2014 including Nicaragua, Haiti and Guatemala. Volunteers are needed and all trips will focus on ministering to orphans and children in need.

EMBRACE Louisiana Baptist ChildrenвЂ™s Home & Family Ministries Highlights from By Susan Clark, Director of HomePlace Another season has come and gone and we are facing the onset of Fall here at HomePlace. My favorite time of the year is Autumn! The mornings are coolerвЂ¦the smells in the air replace the summertime bluesвЂ¦ new school clothes are always excitingвЂ¦ pumpkins and mums partner once again and the brilliant colors burn of God's glory. Also, if it were not for Fall, I would have missed out on Candy Corn, ChiliFrito Pies, S'Mores and Caramel Apples. Needless to say, Autumn fills up our senses and is necessary for us to draw nearer to our Creator. Since our last newsletter, several milestones have been accomplished. We enrolled eight children into school. Sharquila obtained her driver's license as well as began working her third job. Sandy and Jess began attending their classes at Delta. I might add that Sandy is also working three jobs while finishing up her associate degree at Delta. Her primary job is already a forty-hour job. Sydney started at ULM and begins her new job this week. Carrington landed a forty-hour job and is preparing to move into her own apartment with her two boys by the end of the month. Toni is now enrolled in Christian Women's Job Corp while working thirty hours a week. Kim begins working in a matter of days at her new job. Tina moved in this month with a three-week-old precious baby girl and is waiting to start Christian Women's Job Corp in three more weeks. Mae began her second job this month. Stacey is working forty hours a week and raising three children. Meaghan is volunteering her time in community hours while starting her new job. And KeKe is taking an on-line college class while working part-time. Keep in mind that many of these women are doing this without their own transportation. They are all attending church on Sundays and Wednesdays. In addition, they are attending Bible Study, Parenting Classes and Nutrition Classes once a week. As the Psalmist penned, our precious Lord gives us вЂњstrength for strength.вЂќ Once again, I want to thank each one of you who pray for, give to, and serve in HomePlace. We could not do it without your service through the Spirit of the Living God. A special thanks to HomePlace friend, Kathy Danna, who so graciously volunteered all summer. My prayer is that our God continues to fill our senses with the season of Autumn, but most importantly, He fills us up with the fullness of HIM! Alumni Reunion Scheduled for June 6-7, 2014 Please help us spread the word! Sharquila is all smiles after getting her driverвЂ™s license! Meagan is getting ready for fall as she plants a mum in front of her HomePlace cottage. Cottage Mom, Lou Horath, and Peace Cottage resident, Carrington, get ready for HomePlace family game night.
