What are people saying about the LGB?

Stacy Rowland, Ten Mile Missionary Baptist Church

  • As a church we should never neglect to praise Jesus for allowing the cottages at the Baptist Children's Home to come to Ten Mile. The children, the teenagers, and the stories you hear are heartfelt and gifts God has given us to learn from, grow with, and minister to. In the past I have often asked why He sent them to us. How did we, as a church, get so lucky? That is when He patiently reminds me that He wants to use us to build relationships with them. He wants to use us to pray for them. He wants to use us to spend time with them. Most importantly, He wants to use us to Love them! WOW! That is exciting! What a job we have to do.

David and Carolyn Hoskins - Mathias Cottage Houseparents

  • Dear Elm Street Baptist Church, My husband, David and I would like to thank you for taking time out to come and be a blessing to us as the staff and our kids this past weekend. Everyone was abundantly blessed! I enjoyed observing how you got the kids involved in work and how you lovingly shared your skills with them. Thanks for being well organized so everything went enjoyably smooth and lots of fun for everyone. Thanks for sharing the vision and how the money was raised to supply the need and then to see it all completed! Wow! It will be a blessing for 100's of kids to come! Thanks for sharing your love and faith and because of that our youngest girl got saved! We praise God for that alone is worth it all! Thanks for your obedience! May God abundantly bless you because you gave to LGB!
