Here is the answer to the e-mail I sent.

Dear John:

Thank you for contacting us. As a recent Baptist Press article related to this subject explains: “BCFS is not related to the Southern Baptist Convention. It is listed as a partner organization at the Baptist General Convention of Texas’ website under the Human Care Institutions list of Child/Family Care Institutions. BCFS is among various affiliated organizations that receive funding from the Texas convention, which also elects a portion of the BCFS trustees.”

We hope that this article will be helpful. If you have any questions about BCFS funding or its relationship to the Baptist General Convention of Texas, please contact either of those organizations directly.

We are glad to respond to this question. We are also delighted to share a message of good news. Scripture teaches that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. It is our hope and prayer that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul said it this way, “For by grace you are saved through faith.” If you have already received Jesus Christ as your Lord, we rejoice with you. If, however, you do not know Jesus, we invite you to turn from your sinful past and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord. When we are saved from the penalty of our sins, we experience His cleansing from sin and His transforming power in our lives. A hymn writer has said it well, “Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.” How true!
