The Baptist Home has always been a work in progress. We are in a constant state of motion seeking to better serve aging humanity. That progress or motion is in play again as we begin our second century. You may have already become aware that we have recently purchased 73 acres in the Ashland, Missouri, area to eventually become our fourth campus.

For many years, there has been a felt and expressed need for a campus ministry in the central part of our state. In late 2011, we received word of some available property for sale south of Columbia. While it was determined that parcel of ground was not appropriate for our needs, it set in motion actual plans to seek out a possible mid-Missouri campus. During the ensuing year, we engaged a local real estate

agent and with his tremendous help we investigated over a dozen pieces of property in the Boone county area. As this search gained steam, our board of trustees authorized a sub-committee to oversee the development process.

Interestingly enough, the property we eventually purchased was happened upon by divine ‘accident’. Our real estate agent, Paul Bunch (son of former trustee Gayl Bunch), and I were returning from investigating a piece of property south of Ashland when we saw a real estate sign for a new listing. We made a contact with the listing agent and, after going over the details, we decided the property deserved our attention. At a later date, we toured the property and became enamored with its pastoral setting (the property has been a working horse ranch and private home for many years) and great location just north of Ashland with high visibility from Highway 63.

The property in Ashland is composed of 73 acres of

gently rolling landscape with a portion of

the Bass Creek flowing through the northwest corner of the

property. In the center of

the

property is a very well appointed five bedroom, three bath home which sets off and defines the character of the property. There is a stately, older horse barn on the northeast corner which adds to the warm feel of the property.

With the purchase of the property, several strategic steps are underway. The first major step was the hiring of a founding administrator. Dr. Steve Long, a long-time resident and pastor in our state and a member of the Board of Trustees of The Baptist Home, has agreed to serve as founding administrator. Steve currently resides in Marceline, Missouri, and will be working out of a home office until a permanent office becomes available on location. Steve comes to the position with a background as a key player in the development of a community health clinic in Marceline. His latest role was in advancement for the clinic. He brings a strong set of experience and a great sense of compassion for the elderly to this task.

During 2014, we will be busy in major background work for the development of the property. We will be working towards securing the right professionals to lead us including architects, engineers, designers, market analyzers and others. We will be focused on zoning changes, infrastructure needs for the various utilities and the development of a master plan which will enable us to present a visual concept of the neighborhood community which is envisioned. There may be some unforeseen issues that occur, but to this date our informal meetings with county officials and utility providers have been very positive.

information about our new campus, please contact us at 866-454-2709 (toll free) or by email at [email protected].

The development of a fourth campus for The Baptist Home has been a dream that is now in the process of becoming a reality. As always, we covet your prayers and support in this endeavor. This campus is a great opportunity for The Baptist Home to remain faithful to our mission of serving aging humanity.

We are looking at a different model for the fourth campus at Ashland. Our vision for the property involves the building of multiple Active Living duplexes, quadplexes and Assisted Living facilities. The Assisted Living facilities will be smaller and more homelike with fewer residents per building. We are investigating the possibility of two Assisted Living facilities nestled among the Active Living homes. Of course, we will have a chapel and both outdoor and indoor recreational facilities.

One of the major pieces to the central Missouri campus will be the process of planning and implementing a capital campaign for the campus. We are in the early stages of such planning at this point. We will be establishing a campaign that will enable all Missourians to participate in the furtherance of our growing work across our state and region. As we develop a master plan and capital campaign, we will be communicating this information in a timely manner.

The excitement for a central Missouri campus of The Baptist Home is very apparent already. Within hours of the announcement of the purchase of the property, we began receiving phone calls and email from folks who were interested in living at the new campus. To facilitate these requests, we have developed a database for interested parties. By giving us your contact information, you will be kept in the information loop on our progress.

Letter From The E

ditorBACK TO THE BASICSLast year we celebrated 100 years of ministry to the elderly. We looked back at our heritage and celebrated our achievements spanning a century. We know well the story of Milford and Mary Riggs, a devoted pastor and his wife, who took a vision born on a mountaintop and made it a reality. The Baptist Home is strong today because of the sacrifices of those who came before us. We have been entrusted with a wonderful ministry, and we are ever mindful of our responsibility to be excellent stewards with what we have been given.As we look ahead in the new year, we will focus on aspects of The Home’s character, the basics of who we are as a ministry. Accountability, benevolence and compassion will be the elements we will highlight throughout our publications this year. We will share with you stories of our residents, both being cared for now and for some that have gone on to their eternal reward. Our desire is to give you a glimpse into the lives of our residents, to demonstrate our fulfillment of our mission…to reflect God’s love to aging humanity.On a personal note, I have witnessed first-hand the kind of care a family can expect their loved one to receive at The Baptist Home. In 2009, my 35 year old brother was in the last stages of his life. His long battle with cancer was nearing an end. The time had come for him to receive full-time nursing care, and his doctor recommended he enter a long-term care facility. A recent change in The Home’s Admission Policy made it possible for Richard to come to The Baptist Home. Administrator Sherri Snider very graciously went to visit Richard in St. Louis at the rehab center where he was staying. She explained to him who she was, why she was there and what care he could expect to receive. As you can imagine, Richard was very ill and also very much in denial. He did not feel he needed this type of care and just wanted to go home. When the day came of his transfer came, my mother and I along with Amanda Misselhorn, DON, assisted Richard from the rehab center to his new home at The Baptist Home-Arcadia Valley. Every effort was made by the staff to make Richard feel welcome and to ease his anxiety during this transition. Unfortunately, Richard’s health continued to decline, and he was only with us a few days after his admission. Looking back, I can remember when my mother came to tour The Home, to see if it would be a good fit for Richard. She said, “Yes, this is the place. God is here.”I hope that as you read our newsletter you will see that God is, in fact, here.

their daughter, Rachel Neil, and her husband, Matt, also live in Marceline. Rachel has two sons and is expecting her third child in August. Steve enjoys his lawn and garden, walking, and playing golf.

Steve has lived in small towns of rural north Missouri all of his life. Steve shared some of his vision for the new campus. “The central Missouri campus will be a multi-phase project with construction occurring over several years. We are hopeful the initial construction of Active (Independent) Living units will begin in mid-2015…These communities are great for developing many close friends and knowing nearly everyone. You celebrate as a community when individuals and families celebrate, and you help each other in times of need. At the central Missouri campus, I have a vision for care giving and community living. I am honored and excited to serve in the establishment of a Baptist Home in central Missouri.”

IRONTON, MISSOURI

CAMPUS NEWS | ARCADIA VALLEY

On January 21, Mr. John Burney celebrated his 101st birthday in the chapel of the historic Riggs-Scott Building on the Arcadia Valley campus. Affectionately known as “Mr. Baptist Home,” John was first hired as an office man to Dr. Daniel Jefferson Scott in 1936 and later was elected as the third superintendent of The Home, serving from 1953-1974. He and his late wife, Gladys, whom he also met at The Home, often volunteered together long after his retirement. Even today, John continues to stop by to visit residents and staff.

During his administration, John was known for his keen sense of business and gentle, yet effective leadership style. In a day and age when immediate gratification is the norm, we can be thankful for his legacy of conservative money management which The Home still benefits from today. Under his supervision, every dollar that came in was stretched or saved, resulting in two new wings built on the Arcadia Valley campus which were debt free about the same time they were occupied. His conservative approach to finances is a blueprint we still use today.

John seemed to understand better than most just how precious gifts given to The Home were. Over and over again, John expressed his gratitude to donors in issues of The Baptist Home newsletter. After a severe drought in 1953 threatened to cut The Home’s food supplies, Missouri farmers continued to send money to The Home to buy feed for their cattle and many others sent jars and barrels of food. “It’s marvelous the way the Lord through His people provide for the care and keep of His aged saints here at Ironton, and we are grateful from the bottom of our heart for all who contribute eatables to The Home…we feel that every jar of foodstuff that was sent in was a real sacrifice on the part of someone…” (The Baptist Home, December 1953)

Joining John at his birthday celebration was long-time employee Luanna King, the only remaining employee from his administration. Luanna, who does not like to speak in public, was quick to tell everyone that “John and Gladys were an inspiration to me. They were the best people!” With the greatest humility, John responded, “A good administrator is made by good staff, and Luanna was one of

101 and Counting!

the best. I don’t know why people want to make such a fuss over someone who is 101. I didn’t have much to do with it. One thing I can certainly say is the Lord has been good to me. I give Him the credit.”

In an interview after John’s birthday celebration, Luanna described how she came to The Baptist Home to work. She was just looking for a summer job and decided to apply at The Baptist Home. Luanna was hired by Mr. Burney as a part-time employee in 1971 and began working in the kitchen under the supervision of John’s wife, Gladys. At that time, there was an apparent shortage of nurses, and so, with a little encouragement from Mrs. Burney, she gave nursing a try. It must have been a good fit for Luanna. She has worked under four administrations of The Home and will mark her 43rd year of service this April. When asked about her long tenure, Luanna said, “I see a lot of good, Christian people here. The residents minister to me and to each other. Working at The Home for all of these years has been a real inspiration to me.”

Luanna shared about the changes she has witnessed over the years, one of which was the implementation of electronic medical records (EMR). With the help of a donor, The Baptist Home-Arcadia Valley installed an EMR system this fall and has been training nursing staff over the course of several months. Each resident hallway has a record keeping kiosk in place, and recently, laptops were installed on medication carts as well. Luanna admitted there is a learning curve and she is rather partial to the old-fashioned

way of record keeping, but she is working hard to learn the new technology! “The residents mean a lot me,” Luanna said. “I try to care for the residents in the same way I would want my mother and father to be treated.”

Thank you, John and Luanna, for your dedication to this ministry and for your genuine love and compassion shown to so many residents. Your humble, Christ-like service will be an inspiration to others for generations to come. BLB

Rhythm Band

Music is such an important aspect of our lives. It soothes us, it invigorates us, it encourages us and it even teaches us. I don’t recall ever hearing someone say, “I hate music!” The residents at The Baptist Home-Arcadia Valley surely LOVE music!Frequently at lunch time, as the residents are seated in the dining room, I will play (sort of) the piano. Sometimes I will ask, “Where would you like to go today…to ‘church’ or to the ‘honky -tonk?’” I usually get a mixed response, but often the “honky-tonk go-ers” win out. Their excuse…”We go to church all the time!” I laugh and play an assortment of old tunes like “Carolina in the Morning” or “Somewhere, My Love.” The residents always clap when I finish. (I think it is because they are thankful I am finally quitting.) The other day as I was leaving the dining room after playing, I overheard a resident say, “I was taken back to my teenage years.”Although they often request “honky-tonk” music, it is when sacred music is played that I can hear them singing along. Some days, they are in no hurry to leave the dining room and will gather around tables close to the piano for a sing-along. If they get really fired up, someone will run off and bring back a load of hymnals to pass around. Residents of all abilities enjoy participating in music. When “Rhythm Band” is on the Activity Calendar, they come in droves to play the cymbals, the tambourines, the wood blocks, the drums and the triangles. This activity is usually led by The Aeolian Harpists, a group of residents who have learned to play the autoharp. They are accompanied by the piano and most generally play old church hymns. Not only does everyone “beat a drum” or “shake a tambourine,” but they all sing along. It is a grand time!Level of cognition has nothing to do with our ability to enjoy music. In fact, it may enhance it. Over the years, I have watched as residents, who may have lost the ability to form sentences due to dementia, are able to sing along, remembering the tune and most of the words. It is a beautiful thing to see (and hear) when a resident who cannot speak finds his or her voice in music. Not only are they able to “speak” again, but they are able to express their faith, their joy, their hope. What a blessing music is!

Steven Jones has been President of The Baptist Home since 2006. Prior to serving as president, he was Administrator of the Chillicothe campus. Steven has provided leadership and vision in establishing directives for The Baptist Home to ensure it continues to provide care for residents and educational support for friends and family of The Home.

Over the last several months, several people have been asking me if The Baptist Home is receiving Cooperative Program funds. The look on their faces is one of surprise when I answer them with a ‘No’. We have not received Cooperative Program funds since the fall of 2001.

The Cooperative Program began in 1925 to support missions and ministries of Southern Baptists. People give tithes and offerings to their local churches and churches designate a percent of their donations to the Cooperative Program. These funds are sent to local state conventions. The state conventions typically keep a majority portion and forward the remainder to the Southern Baptist Convention.

In 2000, The Baptist Home trustees decided to file revised Articles of Agreement with the state of Missouri because of ascending and descending liability concerns. (Just recently, for example, the Florida Baptist Convention was successfully sued for 12.5 million dollars over an abuse claim against a church planter.) The Baptist Home trustees rightfully believe it has a fiduciary duty to protect the Missouri Baptist Convention and The Baptist Home.

In the 2000 Missouri Baptist Convention annual meeting, motions were brought to the floor expressing anger at the trustees’ decision; however, the motions were defeated by the messengers. The Inter Agency committee and the Executive Board agreed with The Baptist Home’s action and jointly approved a covenant agreement in July 2001. However, a political movement, ‘Project 1000’, gained control of the Missouri Baptist Convention and mounted a successful effort to defeat the agreement at the annual meeting.

The Missouri Baptist Convention filed legal action against The Baptist Home in 2002, and it has been in the courts ever since. However, the ministry of The Baptist Home has not changed, and it continues to serve all Missouri Baptists, providing financial aid for assisted living and nursing care services. The Baptist Home provides over 2 million dollars of assistance each year which is made possible through fundraising and prudent investing of its endowments and reserves. It does not receive Medicare or Missouri HealthNet (Medicaid) funding.

In addition to legal action filed against The Baptist Home, the Missouri Baptist Convention has

withdrawn all support since 2001. Cooperative Program funds previously designated for The Baptist Home were escrowed and the Missouri State Missions offering and The Baptist Home’s Anniversary offering were redirected elsewhere.

In the last few years, The Missouri Baptist Convention developed two plans of giving through the Cooperative Program. Plan A is the default plan in which a portion of funds are used to support legal fees in its claim against The Baptist Home. Unless a church designates otherwise, their funds automatically go into Plan A.

Plan B is the preferred giving method of many churches that oppose the lawsuit and do not want CP funds used to support trial attorney fees and court costs. The chair of the Agency Restoration Committee for the Missouri Baptist Convention’s Executive Board reported about half of the churches are supporting Plan B. The Baptist Home does not receive Cooperative Program funds from either Plan A or B. And, typically, if the Missouri Baptist Convention receives funds for the Anniversary Offering, then it is sent to other institutions.

Many churches and individuals disagree with the Missouri Baptist Convention’s funding boycott of and legal actions against The Baptist Home. Churches and individuals are choosing to send their support directly. The only way you can be assured your funds are received is to send them directly to The Baptist Home. Unless you wish to give to a specific project, 100% of your undesignated gifts provide financial aid for older adults in need of care. Thank you for your support of this wonderful, God-inspired ministry.

In order to have a meaningful conversation with a confused person, it is essential to build trust into the relationship. Even though it is important not to directly correct the delusion, it is also important not to patronize, ridicule, lie or play along with a mistaken reality. On one level a confused person may realize you are toying with him and consequently feel you cannot be trusted with his or her intimate thoughts and feelings.

Building trust takes time and may require repeated visits. Trust is built as a confused person turns towards you, and his or her face becomes more animated and expressive. He or she will seem more interested in the conversation and less hostile or evasive.

Unless a confused person asks directly, most do not want insight into his or her feelings or behavior. Hence, the caregiver needs to avoid asking questions that directly confront the feelings or behavior. While a lucid person is capable of expressing his or her needs, a confused person will prefer symbolic ways to communicate through objects, storytelling, body language and fantasy.

A way to build trust is to understand the value of reminiscing. Ask questions that begin with who, what, when, where and how. However, it is important to avoid the use of why. Why may put a person on the defensive.

Mrs. Bee, a resident in a local nursing home, began a search for her late husband. Mr. Bee had passed away several years ago. “Have you seen my husband?” she asked a nurse. The nurse responded, “What does he look like?” “Oh, he’s tall, dark and handsome,” Mrs. Bee said with a glimmer in her eye. “You must have loved him very much,” continued the nurse. Suddenly, Mrs. Bee began to open up and reminisce, telling favorite stories from their 50 years of marriage. You can only imagine what would have happened if the nurse had responded, “Why are you looking for him?” Or worse, “Mrs. Bee your husband died 10 years ago.” While the nurse did not go along with the delusion, she did not confront it either. Instead, Mrs. Bee was given an opportunity to express grief and hope through reminiscing.

Another way to build trust is to offer choices. Rather than telling a person what to wear or what to eat, try offering two or three choices. The goal is to develop an adult-to-adult style of conversation. The caregiver will also want to be on the same level physically; eye to eye, as much as possible. The care setting often lends itself to an imbalance of power favoring the caregiver. Often the person receiving care feels he or she is being scolded or is inferior. However, our basic nature senses this inequality and rebels against it. Ignoring this principle will cause a meaningful relationship to be stymied and, so too, the quality of life of a confused adult diminished.

Emphatic listening to the confused person can lesson his or her anxiety and lead to cathartic and therapeutic experiences. Effectively done, the caregiver can have many successful encounters with confused persons built on trust.

When I am asked what is going on at the Chillicothe campus, it is hard to know where to start. The Baptist Home is many things to many people:

For the resident who has no remaining family, it is a refuge and home and place to meet new “family”. One such resident lived here for 25 years.

It has been a home for a missionary who traveled all over the world and was seeking a Christian environment to call home until the Lord called her home.

It is a place where a family can turn the care of a loved one over to 24 hour care after they have taken turns providing that care for 2 years, until they were no longer able to meet the needs. They received peace of mind knowing that their loved one was in a place where Christian love and care continued to be provided.

It is a home for retired ministers (and wives) and a place where they can continue to serve and share the love of Christ.

It is a place where residents have peace of mind, knowing that they will be cared for even if their money “runs out”. The care doesn’t change and they are not made to share a room.

In a few cases it has provided a brief stay - a couple of days or a week, time of closure between the hospital and life hereafter. It gives peace of mind to the resident who has returned home, to Chillicothe, and the family who no longer had to make the hour plus trip, back and forth to Kansas City.

To the staff it is a place where they are allowed to talk with the resident and provide the care that brought them to this ministry. Where the staff can make the resident feel like part of their extended family. A place where the resident is placed first, instead of the dollar.

It would take a book to share all the things The Baptist Home does for residents, families and staff. Come visit anytime and see for yourself.

not having any funds to buy items, she kept EVERYTHING…toilet paper rolls, string, rubber bands, magazines, anything she might have used as a supply or teaching tool.” After doing evangelistic work all over the world, this southern lady with a heart for missions came to The Home because she wanted to LIVE and enjoy her retirement years in a Christian environment. Because of her faithful stewardship and love of The Home, she donated the funds to have a cemetery established on the Chillicothe campus. She always said, “God built this Home for me, but told me I had to share it.” When she passed in 2005, it was her final wish to be laid to rest in the cemetery she helped to establish.

Sometimes I read this statement at the start of an interesting and unique story: “You can’t make this stuff up.” It is usually referring to something that a person does that seems pretty, well, ridiculous is a good word.

In the case of The Baptist Home and its work overseas, there is a story that in the very best sense of its meaning is indeed a story that “you can’t make up.” Only God can write this story like He writes so many others.

Two years ago, two godly men in two different countries who did not know one another nor knew what God was going to do in their lives were “minding their own business.” How were they alike? They loved God with all their hearts. They were family men serving as pastors. They were graduates with bachelor’s degrees from two different seminaries prepared to lead churches. They were not directly involved in ministry to senior adults beyond what would normally be expected.

Then, God moved and brought each of them into a focused ministry on serving aging adults in their culture. They said “yes” to

God’s call and became Abraham’s in the 21st century.

Vasyl Typsuko of Boryslav Baptist Church, Boryslav, Ukraine, is the Associate Pastor with responsibilities of ministering directly to the senior adults of his church and Boryslav area. He came to this church from pastoring a smaller church in the area. He completes his Master’s in June 2014 from Ukraine Baptist Theological Seminary in Lviv with an emphasis in senior adult ministry. His ministry finds him in and out of apartments, in hospitals, in neighborhoods where he carries his DVD’s of the worship services and passes around the DVD players so much in demand. He bears Good News and good gifts of food as acts of mercy to the many aging that are confined to their apartments. He is constantly coaching youth and young adults by taking them to ministry settings. He is unafraid to walk into a hospice setting, to help someone with a task in their home that needs attention. His constant, radiant smile makes it a joy to be in his presence and work with him. You have invested in his education through the ministry of The Baptist Home Foundation.

Igor Miklyaev, pastor of Zhabinka Baptist Church, southwestern Belarus near the Polish border, is also the administrator of the Baptist House of Mercy at Kobrin. Originally from Uzbekistan, Igor became the administrator after the facilities were completed by Stepan Trubchik and his crew. Igor has overseen opening the door to residents and working to comply with all Belarusian laws related to this new type of care facility. He now works with the current 27 residents and all staff. He is coordinating the addition of an elevator to the second floor. His skills of pastoral care, fundraising, counseling, sense of team spirit, attention to detail as well as attention to individual needs is a gift from God to this new campus. The leadership of both The Baptist Home and House of Mercy meet monthly via Skype to discuss the new good things happening as well as the day–to-day challenges the ministry constantly faces. His joyous spirit and intense vision of where the

ministry is going continues to excite all of us who have the pleasure of working with this fine man. You have invested in the building of the House of Mercy and its ministry today through your gifts to the Belarus project and the Global Aging Missions Fund.

Meeting for the first time, Vasyl and Igor spent a week together in a class at Ukraine Seminary in September 2013. Now, in a few weeks in June 2014, they will travel together in Belarus joining an American choir from FBC, Farmington, MO and the National Belarusian Christian Choir in a senior adult evangelistic event. Co-sponsors of the event are Minsk Baptist Theological Seminary and The Baptist Home. Selective conferences will highlight: 1) the House of Mercy, 2) ministry to aging adults though local churches, and 3) national resources available to senior adults. Finally, a fellowship meal will be provided to all senior adults who attend those sessions followed by an evening evangelistic concert for everyone in the area.

The Baptist Home could not have written this chain of events if it had tried. God, however, took the intent of The Baptist Home’s heart and used it to invite The Home to become a partner in a “brave new world” where God decided to write a story you can’t make up.

Thanks be to God for each of you who have made yourselves available to pray, to give, and to go as God leads in this great global partnership.

s Mr. Glenn Cole died January 15 and of his death I have said, “He is the last of the first.” You see, Mr. Cole was one of the people who moved into The Baptist Home-Ozark the first month it opened, and he was the last one still living. He also had the distinction of being

the last one of those who moved in during the first twelve months of The Baptist Home-Ozark.

I will warmly remember many things about Mr.

Cole. He was a farmer, a deacon, he enjoyed being outdoors, he was a St. Louis Cardinal fan, he worked numerous jigsaw puzzles, he gave excellent tours to visitors and so much more.

What I will remember most about Mr. Cole is his resilience. He experienced MANY disheartening and disappointing challenges through his life. For some people, those experiences may have been a major life derailment as well as enough to severely compromise or abandon their faith in God. Not so for Mr. Cole. Through those many, many challenges, he continued to choose God rather than not choose God.

Mr. Glenn Cole – quite, gentle, helpful, kind, resilient…faithful.

My life is but a weaving Between my God and me. – Corrie Ten Boom

Dale and Virginia Hesher were married on September 6, 1947. Virginia was from Independence, Missouri, and Dale from Salina, Kansas. Dale joined the Navy and served in WWII as part of the Pacific War Fleet. He was one of the servicemen who went into Japan as part of the peacekeeping group after the war was over. Dale was raised a Lutheran, but when he met and later married Virginia, he decided to share his wife’s Baptist faith. Dale retired from the Ford Motor Company in North Kansas City, and Virginia worked for Midwestern Seminary for a few years in the office. Dale and Virginia are blessed with one daughter, two sons, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

After his retirement about 20 years ago, Dale and Virginia decided to leave North Kansas City and follow their children to the Springfield area. They joined Ridgecrest Baptist Church where they later met a family member of a resident at The Baptist Home-Ozark. After a visit to the campus and a subsequent visit with Administrator Sammy Allen, they were pleasantly surprised to learn that they had many connections with The Baptist Home. They discovered that both Sammy and Steven Jones, president of The Baptist Home, were originally from the Kansas City area. In fact, Sammy was born in Virginia’s hometown of Independence. Both Sammy and Steven attended Southwest Baptist University as did their daughter, Theresa, who apparently was a student during the same years as Sammy. While living in Kansas City, Dale and Virginia were members of North Kansas City Baptist Church, as was Steven Jones, and later Tower View Baptist Church. Sammy also spent a summer working at Windermere. Theresa worked at Windermere, too, that same summer.

Dale and his bride of sixty-six years feel that surely God has brought them here. They are thankful to see how He has woven The Baptist Home into the fabric of their lives from the very beginning. BLB

What is the LifeCare Center Project?The Baptist Home-Ozark is working to add a new multipurpose meeting space to better meet the growing needs of the facility. The building will be attached to the wing which houses the kitchen and the maintenance room and will comfortably hold up to 120 people for worship services and serve up to 104 for dining.

Why is the new space needed?• Chapel Services and Special Guests—As the campus has grown, the

number of people attending worship services has increased and more people in the facility are in wheelchairs which requires considerably more floor space. Currently, services have been moved out of the chapel and into the dining room in order to accommodate more residents.

• Meet and eat functions—A large gathering place is needed, especially for our Active Living residents (Outbackers), for fellowship, activities and meetings.

What will it take to build it?The cost of construction and furnishings is estimated at $1.1 million. Through a generous challenge grant from the Mabee Foundation, The Baptist Home may earn an additional $200,000 toward the goal if we raise $300k by the end of 2014.

Your gift today will help provide a space for worship and fellowship for our residents.

In today’s complicated and uncertain world, one of the most challenging and perplexing areas can be the management and stewardship of your financial resources. More than ever before there are many solutions offered to questions about what people should do with the accumulation of their lifetime. At The Baptist Home, we believe God gives clear directions for the ordering of priorities, while understanding what good stewardship and satisfaction in a Christian’s financial life should be. We all need to understand what our options are in these important matters.

Question: What is good Christian stewardship?Answer: Christian stewardship is the obligation of faithful Christians to manage and use their financial resources in ways that demonstrate a sincere commitment to act in accordance with the Lord’s teachings. Through thought, prayer and reflection, each Christian should consider how he or she can best follow the guidelines offered by Scripture.

Question: What is the goal of Christian stewardship?Answer: The goal of Christian stewardship is to properly manage your financial resources to obtain security for yourself and your family, while supporting God’s work in the world. Christian stewardship assumes a commitment to the Lord’s work through giving of yourself, your income and your resources to organizations that do His work. One of the best way to attain the goals of Christian stewardship is through an estate and financial plan that will clearly demonstrate and organize your commitment to provide for the people and ministries you wish to benefit. A sound estate and financial plan will ensure that your Christian stewardship goals are accomplished.

Question: Does an estate plan involve more than having a will?Answer: A will is the first and probably most important step in an estate plan, but it is not necessarily the only step. A will states what is to happen to your estate after your death. There

are also other arrangements that can be used to supplement your will.

Question: What other agreements besides a will can be part of an estate plan?Answer: An estate plan can include trusts, life insurance and other financial agreements. A durable financial power of attorney and health care power of attorney are two important planning documents. Planned charitable gifts can also be part of an estate plan, especially when they benefit you, your family and charitable organizations that exemplify your Christian beliefs.

Question: Does a planned charitable gift mean a bequest?Answer: A bequest in a will is one of the easiest ways to make a planned gift to your church and to other kingdom causes such as The Baptist Home. With a will bequest, you may be able to give more at death than during life. You can help ensure the continuation of vital ministries. You can also leave a gift to charity from your IRA at death. IRA assets are income taxable to family, but tax free to charity.

Question: How can I find out more about estate and gift planning? I still have many unanswered questions about my Christian stewardship.Answer: The Estate Planning staff of The Baptist Home would be happy to provide you with answers to questions beyond those discussed in this article. There is no cost or obligation. Simply call us toll free at 866-454-2709 or by email, [email protected].

Something The Baptist Home started last year is a Wall of Memory which isn’t a wall at all but PowerPoint slides which run on TV screens on all three campuses with the names (and sometimes the photographs) of those in whose memory the gifts were made.

If you choose to honor or memorialize a loved one with your gift of at least $100, we will list them along with their photo (if one is provided) throughout the calendar year of 2014. Your gift of $100 or more can honor or memorialize one person or one couple for one year.

Slides from last year will be deleted unless the gifts were made in the last half of the year. Future memorial gifts meeting the minimum requirements will have a slide which will be displayed for 12 months from the date they were posted.

Residents, their families, staff and visitors have all enjoyed sharing and reminiscing about their loved ones and former pastors via the Wall of Memory at each campus. We think you will, too. [Shown is a slide in memory of a pastor by his wife.]
