Florida Baptist Children’s Home

Florida Baptist’s, united as the body of Christ, joined together and established the ministry of the Florida Baptist Children’s Homes in 1904. Since that time, they have cared for thousands of abused, neglected, and orphaned children.
The Children’s Homes has six campus locations across the state where they care for children in residential style group homes they call cottages. They also have eight other locations across the state where they provide services for foster care, Safe Families, and adoptions.
They  have an international childcare program called Orphan’s Heart where they take week-long mission teams to provide aid to orphans and disadvantaged children in locations in the developing world such as Guatemala, Haiti, and Uganda.
The Florida Baptist Children’s Homes is helping thousands of orphaned and disadvantaged children by providing them with proper food and clothing. They also ensure that the children in their care receive a proper education and are prepared to take the next steps in life after they leave the Children’s Homes.
They  minister to the children’s emotional needs by providing them with counseling to help them through the tragic events and heartbreaking situations they have experienced. Most importantly, they guide them spiritually by taking them to church and ensuring that God’s Word is part of their life through daily devotions. Thousands of orphaned and disadvantaged children have come to know Christ through the Children’s Homes.
In addition, their ministry to orphans is called true religion by God, and it is a great witness to the world around us of the loving God that we serve.
Today, as the body of Christ, we are going to stop and raise up the orphaned by taking up our annual Mother’s Day Offering to benefit the Florida Baptist Children’s Homes and all of the precious children they care for every day.
