I hope the tithes and offerings of the Baptists are not going to pay for this...
Do the Texas Baptist Men have a presence in Appalachia?
WTF????
AND NO ONE BLEW THE WHISTLE???
so much for conservative Christans keeping our country values and safety. I’m livid!
Anyone connect the dots with cleaning service DTK and ERLC Russell Moore’s support of amnesty? Lots of churches use dtk and many of the employees I’ve seen cleaning can’t speak English.
We’ve ALL known this was coming, at least anybody who has been paying attention.
Baptist Children and Family Services is who's contreacted to take care of the illegals at Lackland, and I would guess other places, too. BCFS is global, if I usderstand correctly.
They are currently hiring nedical persons, and for other positions for San Antonio. I was wondering if they contracted after the January Job posting by the gov for 24/7 unaccompanied minors listing. Wsn't that osting for 68,000 unaccompanied minors?
It says at this link that all media inquiries for Fort Sill, OK , and San Antonio’s unaccompanied minors must be diredted to Health and Human Services.

The truly Christian compassionate thing to do would be to send these illegals back to their parents.
anything else is political
It used to be that the Baptist General Convention of Texas was liberal but associated with the Southern Baptists, and the Southern Baptists of Texas was conservative but also associated with the Southern Baptists; some churches in Texas affiliate with both. Texas Baptist Men used to be affiliated with BGCT but looks like it has ties to both sides at this point.
“Texas Baptist Men operates in cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention: Baptist General Convention of Texas and associations; Southern Baptists of Texas and associations; and with other Great Commission Christians” (from the website). http://texasbaptistmen.org/AboutTBM/TBMOverview
Time to yank their tax exemption.
Destroying a country is not moral, calling an invasion “Christian love” is not moral either, what frauds.
Sure hope there are no sinners among the “ baptist men” —
This is precisely where illegal aliens should land: in places where faith and virtue are taught and practiced. They’ll make better citizens than the SEIU folks. Illegals should get their jobs, and Nancy Pelosi’s job, too.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins will visit an immigrant youth detention camp in South Texas Wednesday for a personal look at the problem he has offered to help solve in North Texas.
Leaders of North Texas charity organizations met with Jenkins Tuesday to help develop a Dallas County immigrant youth housing plan.
Jenkins has agreed to accept around 2,000 of the young people who’ve flooded across the south Texas border from other countries since last fall.
Dallas County to House 2,000 Border Children
“We have a humanitarian crisis,” Jenkins said. “We have the capability here in Dallas and Dallas County to do something. Not very many places do.”
Among the groups offering to help is Texas Baptist Men, which is already providing laundry and shower facilities at a Brownsville immigrant youth camp.
Texas Baptist Men Spokesman Terry Henderson has spent time at the Brownsville facility.
“I actually witnessed 2 and 3-year-olds that came across the border just with kids, kids in their teenage years, no adults,” Henderson said.
Henderson said the children told him they were told by their parents to go to the men in green uniforms when they crossed the border to find a bettter life.
Law Protects Unaccompanied Children Crossing Border
Now, those Border Patrol officers who wear green are overwhelmed.
“Their concern is the safety of the children. Even though they’re there to catch the bad guys, they really don’t have time to do that. They’re having to make sure the kids are safe,” Henderson said.
Texas Baptist Men is one group in a coalition called Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD).
VOAD Vice President Nikki Beneke said churches and other social organization have expressed interest in helping the immigrant children in Dallas County.
“And I think it’s an opportunity for our community to come together to assist these children to have a better life,” Beneke said.
But Dallas County leaders are also hearing from critics concerned about the cost and long-term impact of Jenkins’ plan.
Resident Ken Harris spoke at Tuesday’s Commissioners Court meeting.
“This migrant population will remain here permanently in the city for the duration of their young lives,” Harris said.
Jenkins said the Federal policy not to deport unescorted minors was established by an executive order of Former President George W. Bush in 2008.
He said that order set up the system being used now to turn the minors over to the care of U.S. Health and Human Services for possible placement with relatives in the U.S. or foster care.
ok...then these fine Baptist men can take responsibility for these future gang thugs....I doubt any 2-3 yr. old toddlers are among the mass invasion of Obammys invited guests. spit
