Dear friends & supporters of Baptist Homes & Healthcare Ministries,
As 2025 draws to a close, your generosity has allowed Baptist Homes & Healthcare Ministries (BHHM) to extend Christlike care at our seven campuses across Missouri.
We’re grateful for what God has done through your partnership in 2025. God has blessed us with:
- The long-awaited opening of the Baptist Homes of Ashland assisted living and skilled care building.
- New roofs at our Ozark and Vandalia campuses.
- Renovations of the Rose Hill hall at Baptist Homes of Ozark.
- A growing census at all campuses.
- Anniversary offerings gathered from across the Missouri Baptist Convention, which have blessed Baptist Homes with over $34,000 so far this year.
Thank you for supporting us with your prayers and financial gifts. In 2025, prayer has been an integral tool of ministry within BHHM. Inspired by Chris Hodges’ book, Pray First, there has been a system-wide encouragement and renewal for our staff, residents, and trustees to make prayer a first effort on behalf of Baptist Homes.
We invite you to keep prayer as your first offering to BHHM. Please pray for:
- Residents, nursing and support staff, administrators, executive leadership, and trustees.
- The upcoming opening of Baptist Homes of Smithville – so military veterans can be welcomed and cared for with assisted living.
- Project 400 – a focused effort to increase the number of residents system-wide to 400.
Your financial support directly strengthens our mission to be a Christlike presence of care for every resident. As you make year-end giving plans, would you consider a gift to Baptist Homes? A gift of $250, $500, $1,000—or your best amount—will be used where the need is greatest. Gifts are tax-deductible, and those made by December 31 count for the 2025 tax year.
You may give online or by check, stock, IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution, or a bequest. Give today at bhhm.org/give or contact Ron Mackey (rdmackey@bhhm.org) or Nick Davis (ndavis@bhhm.org) at 573-546-2709 to discuss how your gift can make the greatest impact.
May the Lord bless you through the gift of His Son, Jesus, this Christmas season. Thank you for your prayers and partnership.
Together in His service,
Rodney Harrison
