2008 Annual Report
The Baptist Children’s Village has expanded its service as a statewide ministry to children by increasing the number of locations throughout Mississippi from five to seven. Those locations include: Deanash Campus in Wiggins, Dickerson Place Campus in Brookhaven, Farrow Manor Campus in Independence, India Nunnery Campus in Jackson (Central Headquarters), Reedy Acres Campus in Water Valley, Robbins Campus in Columbia and the newest campus in Nanih Waiya.
This expansion gets us closer to the goal of positioning a Baptist Children’s Village campus within 50 miles of any child needing our services. This increased accessibility to families will allow us to more effectively minister to children and families who need us.
Over the last 12 months, 303 children were served by The Baptist Children’s Village. With each child, the mission statement, “to help children and their families fully understand and experience the healing ministry of Christ by meeting their daily needs, and inspiring them to become Christian adults who are happy, healthy, and mature”, and the S.A.F.E. Track program are emphasized. The S.A.F.E. Track program brings into focus Spiritual Growth, Academic Achievement, Family Values, and Emotional Strength.
There are specific individual goals set in each of the S.A.F.E. Track areas for every resident as they are admitted to the BCV. These goals are discussed and reviewed with the resident to get their input, and to let them know what is necessary to meet the established goals. The goals themselves, and progress toward attaining those goals, are reviewed for each resident every six months.
Services at local churches, daily Bible studies in the cottages and individual conversation about spiritual matters are continually emphasized as a foundational part of the BCV ministry. Over the past year, 17 children made professions of faith. This brings the total to 112 over the past four years.
Five residents graduated from high school in May. Four will be attending college in the fall and one enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Two of those attending college will attend Blue Mountain College.
Through the Cooperative Program of the Mississippi Baptist Convention, The BCV receives 13.5% of its operating budget. An additional 40% of the budget comes from church gifts over and above the CP gifts. We are grateful for the continued support of this ministry.
Respectfully Submited by Rory Lee, Executive Director
