God provides for the tiniest as Diaper Drive takes off

Guatemala (MNN) ― Start saving those diaper coupons in your weekly ads, because Florida Baptist Children's Home needs your help.

Between its domestic and international childcare programs, Florida Baptist Children's Homes uses nearly 30,000 diapers a month. To offset significant childcare costs for their foster parents and for the Orphan's Heart Children's Malnutrition Center in Guatemala, Florida Baptist Children's Home is hosting a drive.

The goal is to collect a large quantity of disposable diapers for use throughout the year, but it's really more than just diapers. Defraying the high cost of this one item allows the Children's Malnutrition Center, in particular, to worry about one less thing, and instead focus their attention more fully on the main reason for its ministry: sharing the love of Christ with children who otherwise might never know it.

(Learn more about the Children's Malnutrition Center here.)

If you live in Florida, you can help by actually delivering disposable diapers to any of Florida Baptist Children's Home's locations from September 26 to November 4. All sizes of diapers are needed, but the greatest need is for size 1-2 and size 3.

For the majority of you who are not from Florida, you can still get involved with this project. Diapers can be donated online. Options range from 40 diapers for $8.99 to 300 diapers for $39.97. Click here to give.

Everyone who makes an online contribution to the diaper drive or delivers diapers to one of the campus locations not only has the opportunity to be part of an effort to give children hope through Jesus Christ, but each donor can also register for a chance to win a free mission trip to the Children's Malnutrition Center in San Juan, Guatemala.

If a church or organization collects diapers, they can register to win two mission trips for their organization. For more information, e-mail children@FBCHomes.org, or call (863) 687-8811.

As you give, pray for the precious babies who will be wearing these necessary items, placed on them with loving hands of dedicated Christ-followers. Pray that these children would grow up to know the God who loves them enough to provide even the smallest of needs for the smallest of bodies.
