Baby Hope Club

BABY HOPE CLUB - helps babies born to young women living in International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) maternity homes. We believe every baby deserves the hope of tomorrow. God’s Word confirms this: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future," Jeremiah 29:11, NIV. Since Baby Hope Club is sponsored by General Girls’ Ministries, we encourage GM clubs and their coordinators and sponsors to "join the club." Whether you have chartered girls clubs or another type ministry to girls, this is a tremendous ministry project. In fact, everybody in the local church is encouraged to participate in Baby Hope Club as well.

HOW DOES BABY HOPE CLUB WORK? Baby Hope Club is promoted by Girls' Ministries leadership on the local level. In the early stages of Baby Hope Club, baby shoe banks were purchased through the general IPHC GM office. As banks are filled, money is turned in to the GM sponsor and mailed on a quarterly basis to Royal Home! With our supply of banks depleted, you no longer can order these banks through our office. However, as you continue to read, you'll see that Baby Hope Club is alive and well. You no longer have to join through our office. You can create your own banks and get your people collecting money for this great project.

HOW CAN I GET MY OWN BANK? First check with your conference GM

director to see whether or not she has a supply of the banks on hand. If so, the banks sell for $1.55 each (includes shipping and handling). However, we have depleted our supply of banks in the Girls' Ministries office and the supplier has gone out of business. We are implementing an alternative idea which allows you to purchase baby bottles from your local retailer. See the picture at the right to see how the bottle can look after adding the label we have created for you. Click on either picture to visit a page which explains the changes and has links to download a master page (and instructions) for printing labels that you can paste onto the bottles. This can be printed onto a page of 2" x 4" mailing labels (10 per page). Or, purchase permanent markers and allow the girls to decorate their own baby bottles.

CAN I STILL USE THE OLD BANK? If you already have some of the shoe banks, just keep right on using them and then add baby bottles as you get new girls in the clubs. This ministry is still worthy of our support, so please don't skip a beat.

If you have any questions on the program, contact your local Girls' Ministries director, conference Girls’ Ministries director, or the IPHC Girls’ Ministries office, P.O. Box 12609, Oklahoma City, OK, 73157, email iparker@iphc.org or call 405-787-7110, ext. 3229.

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE WEEK (always held in January) is a great time to highlight Baby Hope Club and how it benefits the unborn children of the residents at our IPHC maternity home.
