Does this sound like you?
You care about the well-being of children and families, emotionally,
physically and spiritually, both the born and unborn. You are
generous with your time and resources to help the community
around you. You are passionate about your love for your family and
friends. You enjoy being around other women with similar views
and interests. You see a problem, and you want to find a solution.
Women of Compassion
Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children (OBHC) is seeking
community-minded women from across Oklahoma to carry out
the mission of OBHC. The mission is to demonstrate God’s love by
providing hope through empowering children and their families to
follow Christ.
Women of Compassion is a group open to women of all ages who
want to make a difference in the lives of children and families.
Members consist of women from all Christian denominations
across Oklahoma.
ONE MEETING - ONE VOTE - ONE ACT OF COMPASSION
The Event
Members meet with other women from across the state at the
annual “Cups of Kindness Event” where they will be inspired by
speakers and hear from prospective grant recipients to cast their
one vote. Prospective grants include various projects throughout
the seven ministries of Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children.
Your vote and voice help determine how the grants are awarded.
Absentee ballots will be made available for members unable to
attend the event.
The Goal
• Participate in gifts that are collectively larger than most women can
afford to contribute individually. Each member donates $1000 per
year, due by the day of the annual Cups of Kindness event, and
casts one vote. The due date for 2022 is Saturday, April 2.
• Make an impact by helping fund projects in $50,000 increments
throughout the ministries of Oklahoma Baptist Homes for
Children not generally covered in the yearly operational budget.
• Enjoy meeting new like-minded friends from across the state at the
annual “Cups of Kindness” Event and network with other members.
• Hear what God is doing through the lives of those served by the
ministries of OBHC.
• Feel great about making a difference in the lives of children born
and unborn.

About Oklahoma Baptist
Homes for Children
Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children (OBHC) is the largest
provider of private, not-for-profit, residential child care in the
state and has the freedom to share the gospel every day because
we receive no government funds. OBHC provides residential care
on four different campuses throughout the state of Oklahoma,
located in South Oklahoma City, Edmond, Madill and Owasso.
Residential care services enable children of all ages to grow up in a
caring, stable, Christian environment. OBHC also has five facilities
throughout Oklahoma to provide support for those facing an
unplanned pregnancy. Hope Pregnancy Centers (Hope) in north
and south OKC, Edmond, Tulsa, and Ardmore, provide pregnancy
tests and ultrasounds which can help young women and men make
life-affirming choices. For those who choose to parent, Hope offers
parenting education for moms and dads where staff and volunteers
can share the love of Christ with them as they prepare to parent their
child. In 2020, OBHC launched a mobile unit, Patty Ann, to serve
those considering abortion in inner OKC.
Northwest Ministries works with community partners and churches
to develop, promote, and implement OBHC ministries in the
Northwestern part of the state. Ministries include Lifewize, a
volunteer driven educational program to empower middle and high
school students with character based learning, and Empowered
Parenting, a program that helps young families prepare to have a baby.
In addition, OBHC has a state-wide ministry called One Such
Child. One Such Child connects prospective foster parents with
like-minded foster care agencies and provides support to the local
church as well as foster families. Each child deserves to be treated
with dignity and respect from the moment of conception. OBHC is
committed to meeting the needs of children through each stage of
their life as they grow and reach young adulthood. Each day, God is
faithful by providing for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs
of the children and families in OBHC’s care. For more information,
