Safety, family and a sense of purpose are just a few of the many benefits a resident of one of the four Alabama Baptist Retirement Centers (ABRC) receives.
Just ask the resident of Baptist Village in Dothan who said, “Baptist Village is perfect for me. … I feel safe here; I tell everyone I see about my home.”
As ABRC President Billy Austin stood before messengers to the Alabama Baptist State Convention on Nov. 17, he recounted what six ABRC residents said when asked what they would say to Alabama Baptists.
A resident of Eastview in Montgomery said she found security after moving to the retirement center because someone tried to break down the door of her home of 47 years.
“I am so happy to be here,” she said. “Now I feel very safe and secure. I know that someone is looking out for my safety at night when I go to bed.”
Family and comfort were waiting for a resident of Knollwood in Roanoke who had been living in a home that had little insulation and no windows.
“I feel like I have died and gone to heaven,” he said. “I wish I had moved here years ago. We are all one big happy family. I am blessed to have a roof over my head, cool air in the summer, warm heat in the winter and a Christian environment to live in. God is good.”
Another Knollwood resident said, “I feel needed” for the first time in awhile.
