Help Us Help Those in Need!
We read in the Bible how Jesus looked at the crowds and had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd (Matthew 9:36). When we see the images of the devastated crowds in Haiti, we should look at them the same way Jesus would, with eyes of compassion followed by action. Our actions can change the lives and eternities of these Haitian children and adults.

The Florida Baptist Children’s Homes recently convened its first ever CEO Children’s Council. The purpose of the CEO Children’s is for the best and brightest of the business world to bring their expertise, experience, and resources to bear for children. The CEO's are meeting throughout this year to help in the areas of domestic expansion, international expansion, branding, and advocacy. Ed Crenshaw and his wife Denise hosted the event. Paul Azinger and Brad Bryant spoke. Paul spoke on strategies he used to win the Ryder Cup and how they can be applied to business and to our own ministry. Brad spoke about he and his family’s personal experience in our Guatemala ministry and through their personal giving. Fantastic day.
