A Place for Miracles
By:Michael C. Blackwell
Published on 2002 by Parkway Pub
The Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina, founded on November 11, 1885, has grown from a single location in the central part of the State, to campuses and group homes from the mountains to the coast. The early visionaries were strong-willed and hard working people. They were consumed with a passion for making life better for disadvantaged children. Their genius lay in their determination to succeed, no matter what the obstacles. A Place for Miracles details some of those early struggles to overcome opposition to the Orphanage, find suitable land for construction, and secure enough money with which to begin. But the book is more than just a recital of historical events. Rather, A Place for Miracles pinpoints the elements that have made the Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina what it is today: values, mission, people, actions, results. The founders of the Orphanage meant for it to be a place where children would stay for only a short time. However, children came, often at early ages, and spent their entire childhood living in a self-contained community. They attended school on campus, worshipped on campus, ate meals on campus, and became |family.| Older alumni refer to each other as |brothers and sisters.| The Orphanage, for all intents and purposes, was the only life they knew.
