In Memory of Bonnie by Jan Druckenmiller THE SACRED PORTION CHILDREN’S OUTREACH A Child Caring Ministry Fall 2011 “And you...shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your god has given you and your household. And you...shall say before the Lord your God. I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and have given it to...the orphan according to all thy commandments which thou has commanded me...I have listened to the voice of the Lord my God.” Deuteronomy 26: 11, 12, & 14 Our Mission In Memory of Bonnie By Jan Druckenmiller I did not know Bonnie Burgard as a child, nor as a teenager or even as a young adult. My personal acquaintance with Bonnie spanned only a segment of the 49 years of her life, beginning with a The Sacred Portion Children’s relationship through church Outreach is a non-profit and later expanding into a organization dedicated to providing common interest in for the needy children of the world adoption and orphan care. who are without homes or families. As we moved in this realm with Bonnie and her Formerly known in our community husband, Mike, I came to as Southwood Child and Family know Bonnie for the woman Education Center, the organization that she was. Her passion was directly involved for 22 years in for children needing families the development and operation of was profound and played an early childhood program. In 1997 the organization passed the out in her own life through care and continuation of that the adoption of seven program into another’s hands and children. When she passed away in June 2006 from cancer, a the founders, Craig and Jan sizable memorial gift gave rise to the vision of a new baby home Druckenmiller, turned their hearts built in Bonnie’s memory as an expansion of the Rehoboth to serving a more needy population Children’s Home.

Continued on page 2 total amount needed for the Baby Home! We are amazed at what God has brought forth through the Hill’s determination to see Bonnie’s Heart Baby Home become a reality. Now that we are almost guaranteed to have the $100,000 necessary for construction, the Hills have shifted their focus towards equipping the Baby Home and raising funds for operating costs. To assure construction of an excellent building as designed by Engineering Ministries International (eMi), they also want to have an additional $10,000 available as a construction contingency. In response to the love and generosity that has been shown in the first eight months of what began as a 24-month campaign, the Hills have now lifted their objective to $125,000 which will provide $110,000 for construction and $15,000 for furnishings. All funds raised above $125,000 will Bonnie’s parents, Dick and be applied to the operating budget of the Baby Home. Muriel Hill, and her sister, Betty Hill, must have felt the same way and decided to get serious about raising the money. The Hills from Virginia launched a Family and Friends Campaign on February 14, 2011. Five immediate family members pledged $20,000 with hopes that other relatives and old friends of Bonnie’s would join them in raising an additional $20,000. That amount combined with the $10,000 in gifts that had been received since 2006 would take us halfway to the goal of $100,000. The hope was that the money raised would then bring forth a matching grant to complete the funding needed for the construction of the The Burgard Family in June 2004 Baby Home. We are so very grateful to the Hills for taking this project to heart People responded and, as and are astounded at how God has expanded their timid goal each month went by, the of $40,000 beyond what any of us ever imagined. We are spreadsheet tracking thankful for the people who knew and loved Bonnie and have donations and pledges inched given so generously from their personal resources. We are closer to the Hill’s goal. By May equally thankful to those people who perhaps did not know this 2011, the total had crossed amazing woman, but whose hearts have been touched by this over the $50,000 mark and project and have responded accordingly.

Then, in August, we Baby Home will meet a great need in allowing us to serve more received a “mystery check” children and to care for the youngest of these children in a more that bumped the funds up to adequately designed facility. How exciting that it is actually $95,000, just $5,000 short of the going to happen! 2 What’s Next? With the success of Bonnie’s Heart Baby Home Family and Friends Campaign, construction of the Baby Home is scheduled to begin in the early part of 2012. We, the Druckenmillers, have plans to move our family to the Philippines in June of 2012 for a nine-month stay to oversee the construction of the Baby Home. There are so many day-to-day decisions that have to be made during the construction process and it is very important to us that the Baby Home be built in a way that will make it an excellent facility for caring for infants and toddlers. This upcoming adventure is very daunting to us as a family. Yet, we know that it will be a rich experience and have long looked to the day when we could become a part of the daily heartbeat of the Rehoboth Children’s Home rather than just travelers coming and going. I have posted the following inspirational words by my desk in the office and look at them whenever the thought of transporting a family of six overseas feels too crazy and overwhelming! Fear not the risks of braving the wilds and unknown in your service for God. Fear more the regret of never having the opportunity to serve Him in that special way again.

Spring Break Mission Trip 2012 A work team to the Rehoboth Children’s Home is being planned for March 9 - 17, 2012. This short-term mission trip is open to people of all ages who would like to serve in some capacity. Manual labor will definitely be involved for those who are able to help with the beginning stages of construction of Bonnie’s Heart Baby Home. This will involve a lot of digging, hauling buckets of concrete, shoveling gravel and sand, and laying concrete block. People who are not able to do manual labor can serve in other ways such as holding babies, providing activities for the older children at Rehoboth, or helping to solve technological problems with computers. There is something for everyone! People who are interested in participating in a mission trip but need to raise the money to go can do deputized fundraising through The Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach.

Yet VAC as a physical, mental, public and social health concern is only recently gaining the prominence it deserves. Addressing VAC is critical as the outcomes of violence experienced early in life have long-lasting physical and mental health consequences throughout childhood, adolescence, adulthood—inter-generationally and for society as a whole.

  • Leading a Child to Christ Notes
    Leading Children to Christ Dr. Linda Williams “Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. Red, brown, yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” I. Soul-conscious When you see a child, do you … A. Think about their clothes, surroundings, possible circumstances? B. Think about their soul – spending an eternity in heaven or hell Each child you see will spend an eternity somewhere – heaven or hell. It is our responsibility to tell them about Jesus and His great love. II. Why children? A. Scripture records for us in the gospels of Matthew 19, Mark 10, and Luke 18 of Jesus rebuking the disciples when they try to send the children away. The disciples thought that Jesus was too busy for the children. Luke 18:16-17 records Jesus response as “Suffer (permit) little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.” B. Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” stated that “A child of five, if properly instructed, can as truly believe and be regenerated as an adult.” C. Childlike Faith How many of you were saved at an early age? (Research shows 85% professions of faith occur between the ages of 4-14) (Thomas, 2016) 1.
