Jesus expressed His desire and passion for life change when He
quoted from Isaiah 61 and announced His public ministry recorded in
Luke 4:1621,
“‘The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed
Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom
to the capves and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free the
oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’ He then rolled up
the scroll, gave it back to the aendant, and sat down. And the eyes of
everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him. He began by saying to
them, ‘Today as you listen, this Scripture has been fulfilled.’”
Many lives were changed during Jesus’ threeyear
earthly ministry.
Many more lives have been changed as the Spirit of Christ has worked
in and through the lives of His followers throughout history unl the
present. As servants of the Servant, with gratude for His lifechanging
grace, we connue to focus on the primary task of serving others in
Jesus’ name.
Through the Christcentered
ministries of your Louisiana Bapst
Children’s Home, we see life change happen every day. Neglected,
abused, and abandoned children are finding a refuge of safety and uncondi
onal love on our campus. They hear the Gospel and see it lived
out through the lives of our commied Chrisan staff. Over me, they
learn to trust again and open their hearts to the saving grace of Christ.
Homeless children and their mothers are given the opportunity for
a fresh start in life. Many of these moms are experiencing Christ’s love
for the first me. Many of their children are going to Sunday School and
church for the first me. Their physical and emoonal needs are being
addressed and their hearts are opening to the Gospel.
God is working through our Granberry counselors to heal broken
hearts and to redeem fractured relaonships. Couples are seeing their
marriages restored. Individuals and families are learning how to apply
biblical truths and follow Jesus as a way of life.
Many of the children in state foster care are finding a home in
Louisiana Bapst families and churches where they’re receiving the care
and compassion they so desperately need. They are discovering what
it’s like to be loved uncondionally by a Chrisan family, a church family,
and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Some of the poorest and most destute children in the world are
receiving food, clothing, medical care, and educaon through our
Louisiana Reach Hai partnership. Our volunteer Louisiana Bapst missionaries
are sharing the love and compassion of Christ with “the least
of these” and their lives are being changed.
As I enter into this Thanksgiving season, I am grateful to be a part
of such a lifechanging
ministry. I am especially thankful for our many
friends who pray so fervently and give so generously to help make this
ministry possible. This past year you provided ministry services for over
4,000 children, families, and individuals. Over 90 people have experienced
the lifechanging
grace of God through salvaon in Christ. You
have glorified the Lord Jesus by helping us do the work He has given us
to do. Thank you, and may you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Thankful for LifeChanging
Ministry!
