Here's what people
are saying about Latreia.

"Volunteering at BCH was a great experience...Interacting with the kids was the best part...Also it was extremely enjoyable to share the Gospel with them."
- A student from First Southern Baptist Church, Mattoon, IL

"BCH is a great place to bring a youth group. It is a place where your students can do hands on physical work and ministry...I have brought five different groups to BCH and each one was a tremendous experience for my students."
- Mike Palis, Park Hill Baptist Church,
Kansas City, MO

"It has been a pleasure to work with BCH in the Latreia Program (LGB)...We all left with a special blessing as we departed from Carmi.
What a joy to take part in such a wonderful program."
- Doug Bell, Roanoke Southern Baptist Church, Springfield, IL

"I am sure our five days at Baptist Children’s Home made an eternal impact on our students’ lives! We came to help and grow and those two things happened!"
- Jeremiah Gregory, Off the Fence Ministries, Bement, IL

"I’ve learned a lot about the Bible and my social skills are better too...I know more about God...I have more friends, more people who love and care about me...I think it’s nice that people take time out of their lives and come here and teach us, play games and make friends."
- BCH Resident, Baptist Children’s Home (BCH), Carmi, IL

In addition to helping the children and families in care at BCHFS, the Latreia is about having fun (in the name of Christ). Have a look here at the fun different groups are having as they compete in Latreia.
