How to Help Children & Orphans in Need





Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. ~James 1:27

If you are looking for a worthy cause to donate to during the holidays you might want to consider helping children and orphans in need.

We want to get the word out about Baptist Children's Home and the amazing work that they are doing. They need help during the holidays and all year round.
