The leaders of Southern Baptists’ 20 children’s homes recently elected Rod Marshall, leader of Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries (ABCH), as their president.
Marshall, ABCH president and CEO, will represent the Baptist Coalition for Children and Families (BCCF) at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas in June and “seek to build and strengthen relationships with Baptist leaders,” he said.
He also will play a key role in the program agenda for BCCF’s 71st annual meeting set for April 11–13, 2019, in New Orleans.
“The purpose of BCCF is to strengthen members and their respective organizations through leadership development, dynamic relationships, education and advocacy,” Marshall said. “It is an exciting time to be involved in BCCF and it is an incredible privilege to serve my fellow Christian child-care leaders through this role.”
Marshall said BCCF also is actively exploring ways to use technology to better reach its goals. One aspect of that would be holding quarterly virtual meetings to “facilitate conversations and exploration of best practices and creative responses to challenges,” he said.
Since 1949, BCCF members have united for the purpose of serving children and families. In 2016 — the last year with completed official statistics — BCCF members positively impacted more than 2.6 million families.
