The Harbor Home is a faith-based residential community that provides training and assistance to women whose lives are in crisis due to addiction issues, behavioral and lifestyle struggles. We offer programs that provide support, structure and Biblical principles for living a successful life along with help in finding employment, housing and the reuniting of children, ministering to the entire family.
To provide hope to the hopeless. It is our goal to direct the people to the Lord Jesus; to find love and a purpose for their lives, and to make disciples of them, as the Lord directs.
The 8-10 month discipleship-training-program is divided up into four phases, each lasting 2-4 months. As the person proves that he/she can handle the increasing responsibilities of each phase, their privileges will increase. it is a highly structured program with a rigid daily schedule. Everyone is expected to obey the house rules and follow the schedule. Infractions of the rules or schedule are corrected with writing assignments, loss of privileges or extra work chores.
Almost all of our staff are graduates of the discipleship training program.
They do not receive salary, but work as missionaries, giving back their life to serve the Lord by reaching out to others.

ANTIOCH GENERAL BAPTIST CHURCH MISSIONS ABROAD
Faith Home is a General Baptist ministry providing a safe and healthy place to love and raise children who were neglected, abandoned, and abused.
Faith Home consists of a 50 acre campus near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. On this campus, 10 homes have been constructed to provide housing for the children. Married, Honduran, Christian couples have been hired to live in each home and provide the day to day care. These house parents, and their own children, provide the foundation for the family unit in each home.
A school, Little Angels, has been constructed and staffed with full-time teachers to educate the children. More recently, we have added a computer lab and hired a part-time teacher to oversee the lab.
The court system works with Faith Home to place children at Faith Home who come from situations of neglect, abuse, and abandonment.
Child Sponsorship Program
Our mission is simple. We share the love of Christ with children knowing that a life touched by Jesus is never the same. We share His love with smiles, hugs, and kisses. We share His loveby providing a safe place for the children to grow up, where they do not need to worry about being abused or abandoned, where they have plenty to eat and a safe place to sleep. We share His love by giving them a quality bilingual education. But most of all, we share His love by worshipping, teaching, and modeling God's holy Word.
A child sponsorship is $20 a month, and it takes 18 to fully sponsor a child, for a total of $360 per month per child. Your $20 a month sponsorship helps provide shelter, food, clothing, schooling, and medical and legal expenses.
With 69 children currently in residence at Faith Home, there are a total of 1,242 sponsorships needed. If you are interested in sponsoring a child at Faith Home, please contact the mission office at 573-785-7746, email, or visit our Donations page.

JAMAICA
​
The General Baptist work in Jamaica had its beginnings in 1958 through correspondence initiated by Reverend Roger J. Cazziol, a faith missionary who was working in the newly independent country of Ghana in West Africa. Cazziol became interested in General Baptist theology while attending seminary. While in Ghana he became aware of the possibilities of mission work in Jamaica and took the position of Headmaster at a private boys’ school to start a ministry of missionary evangelism in the rural areas of central Jamaica.
In 1961 Cazziol registered his ministry as the Jamaica Association of General Baptists although no churches had yet been organized. In 1962 Cazziol affiliated with a General Baptist Church in Florida and a new opportunity and relationship was born between American and Jamaican General Baptists. The connection was cemented on September 11, 1966 when the Jamaican churches formed their Articles of Association and became the Jamaica Association of General Baptists. The Jamaica Association will celebrate 50 years of service in 2016!
Today the Jamaica Association consists of nine churches with over 500 members. There is an active Women’s Missionary Society, Youth organization, Brotherhood and camping program
