Contractors have taken on the huge task of sheltering thousands of unaccompanied child migrants
In the late afternoon of July 9, Air Force One touched down at Love Field in Dallas. President Barack Obama ducked into a private room at the airport for a discussion about the crisis of undocumented children crossing the southwest border. Assembled around a wooden table were top Texas officials, including Governor Rick Perry and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, as well as the leaders of several faith-based charities. One of them was a man so anonymous, the White House pool report misspelled his name.
Kevin Dinnin is the CEO of a faith-based, nonprofit organization called BCFS, formerly known as Baptist Child and Family Services. This obscure charity has emerged as one of the biggest players in the federal government’s response to the influx of more than 57,000 unaccompanied children who have trudged across the southern border so far this year. It runs two of the largest facilities for temporarily housing immigrant children, as well as six permanent shelters in California and Texas. Since December, BCFS has received more than $280 million in federal grants to operate these shelters, according to government records. On July 7, two days before Dinnin met Obama in Dallas, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded BCFS $190,707,505 in a single grant.

Shades of the days of my youth when Al Capone would drive through town in a big Lincoln limo and give ‘kindness’ to the poor people.
They are not Baptist, or probably any kind of Christian.
It’s ACORN, reborn.
Here is the link showing all these supposed people are just former ACORN officers/employees.

How can you tell that they are ACORN?
They apparently recently dropped the Baptist name. They aren't affiliated with the Southern Baptists. They are claimed as a partner organization by one (non-Southern baptist) baptist association in Texas. They claim global operations. They were founded in 1944.

If they were paying for this themselves I'd say more power to them.
However, they are simply taking money from taxpayers as any other federal contractor. That's they way they get their money.
Liberation theology rears its ugly head again.

SAN ANTONIO – Baptist Child & Family Services has been requested to provide medical care for children living at the Haiti Children’s Rescue Mission in Petionville, Haiti.
BCFS is sending a medical strike team comprised of a critical care physician, nurses and paramedics, as well as a cache of supplies that include antibiotics and surgical medications.
The team will initially be led into the country by BCFS President/CEO Kevin Dinnin, and then transition it’s month-long operation under the direction of Orlando Hernandez, BCFS Incident Management Team member and former Bexar County Emergency Management Coordinator. A second BCFS medical team may be deployed at the end of February, if necessary.
“This will no doubt be a challenging trip, but our team is focused on our mission at hand: providing much needed medical care for the children who are suffering as a result of the earthquake,” Dinnin said .
There will be many opportunities to travel with BCFS and its global division, Children’s Emergency Relief International, on mission trips to help the organization restore impacted orphanages to their pre-earthquake status or better. Individuals are encouraged to check in with the BCFS web site often for trip schedules.
Yes, they are "Baptist" and a "charity"...one that gets almost all it's money from Uncle Sam...in exchange for betraying the American People!
Thought you’d like that one.
Heard that one from someone and I though it was hilarious, given our current state.
I remembered the FR article from a couple of weeks ago..it just stuck in my head for some reason.
If the church wants to help them with their own money that’s their problem...don’t make it mine by taking taxpayer money and then claim they are being charitable.
Taking taxpayer money on the sly is not the same as running a charity. Complicit with a lawless president, contracting with the government for services which circumvent our laws for an administration acting without congress, and without the knowledge of the citizens is nothing to be admired for.
Separation of church and state.
Unless it forwards the agenda of the left.

I can see why Baptists would RUN from this "non-profit" as it will certainly damage Sunday's collections for the main Church activities.
After all, they are ENEMIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Baptist finds ‘heart’s desire’ in preaching gospel to detained immigrant children
Baptist finds ‘heart’s desire’ in preaching gospel to detained immigrant children
Which means they were doing this before this years sudden influx. And government has been paying them for a long time.
Again, it's up to the government to stop the inflow of illegals. Don't blame organizations that were set up to help kids for helping kids.
It’s a scam.
They are playing on good Christians like you by using the name “Baptist” and doing some marginal charitable work.
Where does it say they are affiliated with the Baptists, specifically the Southern Baptist Convention? They only use the word “Baptist” in their name.

Wasn’t he ACORN? Or just a fellow traveler?
