HEART FOR THE
WORLD
In addition to providing for the
daily needs of their lives, Free Will Baptist Children’s Home
desires to instill in our children a heart for the world.
Therefore, we emphasize the importance of missions as often as
possible. Dustin, a rising junior, returned the last of June
from a three week missions ministry with E-Team St. Croix.
Earlier this summer, seven of our teens and four staff members
participated in the Alabama sanctioned GO 10 Walk for the World
sponsored by FWB International Missions. FWBCH provided lunch
for all the participants and hosted guest speaker and former
missionary, Neil Gilliland. Over the last few months, we have
also had several missionaries stay with us on our campus. Just
recently, Nikolaj Sobolev, the Senior Presbyter of the Baptist
Union for the Krasnodar Krai in Russia, was our guest for
several days. These times allow our young people to rub
shoulders with men and women who are serious about reaching the
world with the gospel.

Union) and Mike Corley (Executive Director).
Don has made it to the Arctic
Circle!
In picture, Don Norwood,
Doug Roorda and Jonathan Vickery, Sr.
Doug and Jonathan rode with
Don from Redmond, Oregon.
It is 5000 miles from Eldridge, AL, to the Arctic
Circle in Alaska and Don Norwood
plans to ride his motorcycle all the way. Don,
who is a member of the Eldridge Benefit
Team, wanted to use this adventure as a way to
help FWBCH. Therefore, he is presenting
a challenge—‖A
Penny a Mile!‖ If Don makes it to the Arctic Circle on his
motorcycle,
all those accepting the challenge will pay $50 to
the Eldridge benefit
effort.
The Eldridge Benefit Team sponsors an annual
benefit
to support FWBCH’s operation, a scholarship fund, and other
day to day expenses for the children.
Don is
paying his own expense on the trip, so all proceeds benefit the
Home.
Your
donation for the challenge can be paid using
Paypal or by mailing
your check directly to FWBCH.
It's not too late
