I'm sincerely confused --- even wondering if there are two or more different organizations called BCFC.

On the one hand, if you google BCFC, everything leads you to an apparently secular humanitarian organization which has no connection with Baptist or Christ or anything faith-based at all. Just a Texas-based 501(c)(3) or charitable NGO with world "outreach" (nothing about mission in the religious sense.) --- oh, and no explanation of what the "B" is for in "BCFC".

On the other hand, if you google BCFC Baptist, there indeed a number of Baptist groups called BCFC, but most of them are Baptist Church Fishing Clubs!

So my hypothesis is that the BCFC which is getting all the millions in government moolah, is the secular nonprofit BCFC.

According to this article:

http://www.abpnews.com/culture/social-issues/item/28921-baptists-represented-in-presidential-meeting-on-child-immigrant-crisis

Quote:

“Also attending the meeting was Kevin Dinnin, president of Baptist Child & Family Services, a BGCT-related agency providing care for children housed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.”

BCFS, is a BGCT-related agency.

BGCT is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptist_General_Convention_of_Texas

Interesting articel on BGCT:

http://www.baptist2baptist.net/b2barticle.asp?ID=62

Their website is:

http://texasbaptists.org/

On this page:

http://texasbaptists.org/about/affiliation/

at the link

he missions and ministries of Texas Baptists PDF on this page;

You will find in the PDF that Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) is a related entity.

You can find the BCFS form 990 for tax year 2011 online in PDF form if you search (I found a copy).

You’ll find that of total annual revenue of $76,441,116 that on page 9, Part VIII, Statement of Revenue, line 1e Government Grants (contributions) was $70,669, 962.

Not giving to BCFS ?

Hardly. All American taxpayers are “giving” to BCFS, because it is 92% funded by the Federal government.

It’s BCFS - Baptist Children and Family Services. Baptist in name only NGO global reach org that started out in TX as running orphanages. Now corrupted by fedgov dollars and a search of their large website of the name(above all names)”Jesus” yields a “name not found” message.

Speaks volumes.
