Calvary Children’s Home Celebrates 50 Years
As we celebrate 50 years of service to children, we
want to take a different approach in recognizing this
unbelievable milestone. I don’t know if our founder,
Rev. Ben F. Turner, ever envisioned the growth and
support our friends and contributors would help us
experience. His, and our, dependence was entirely
upon a gracious God. He has cared for us by bringing
churches, individuals, civic clubs, businesses and
community leaders alongside us to send a powerful
message of hope to the young people entrusted to
our care.
Rev. Ben F. Turner
Founder
Rev. Snyder Turner
Executive Director
As I reflected over the past years, I considered how
we could recognize this undeserved blessing. I believe
the appropriate thing is to place the attention where it
belongs — on the God who inspired us and the friends
who have supported us.
Rather than having some high profile event designed to recognize Calvary, we have chosen instead to thank
our faithful and caring friends who made this ministry possible. Without your awareness, compassion and
involvement we would never have existed these 50 years without incurring any debt and without looking to the
government for support. We certainly have no criticism for others who choose another method of funding, we
just chose a different path and you have faithfully and graciously walked this path with us.
We have faced challenges over the years with the shifts in the economy as have each of you. We are mindful
that charitable giving in such times is even more demanding and impacting on our friends who continued to
stand with us.
We have never been unaware of how blessed we are to have friends who give when they could easily have used
those resources for their own needs. Rather than feeling entitled, we are even more humbled by your kindness.
You have sacrificed for our children and I am unable to express how encouraged and honored we are to call you
friends of Calvary.
So as we celebrate 50 years of ministry and our “golden anniversary” of service - we turn the spotlight on you,
our amazing friends, and to a loving heavenly Father for His amazing grace. Our desire is that you are pleased
to be a partner with us for children.
Thank you - times 50!!!

“If children can’t have the love and
guidance of parents; they should,
at least, be able to live together as
brothers and sisters. If I could build
a home large enough, I could keep
all of the children of one family
together.”
- Rev. Ben F. Turner, Founder
2016
“In an era when too many people are
willing to sit back and let government be
the one that helps out in times of need, it
is heartening to see privately operated
charities such as Calvary doing such a
wonderful job. Calvary and those who
support it have provided an invaluable
service to Cobb County in the past years,
and deserve the community’s heartfelt
thanks as they prepare to begin a new
chapter in their good deeds.”
- Editorial page, Marietta Daily Journal 1996

“I just want to thank you for 7 wonderful years. It has been amazing. I love you all so much. Coming here as a shy 14 year old and
now a wonderful 21 year old has been amazing.”. . . Chelsea M.
“I just retired from the U.S. Army after 22 years and if it wasn’t for the love and a whole lot of guidance from the house parents
and Uncle Snyder, I wouldn’t have made it a week in the Army. I feel it was an honor and gift from the Lord and a true challenge
for Uncle Snyder that I was blessed to be in Calvary Children’s Home. Although I could not tell at the time, those were the best
days of my life. Please keep the fire that has burned in each of you to do what you have done through the years. Thank you”
. . . Johnny A.
“When I came to Calvary Children’s Home, I was a damaged little girl from years of abuse who was mad at the world for the suffering I had been put through. I fought everybody and I did not trust anyone. Above all, I refused to get close to anyone for fear of
being abandoned again. It was a long time before my pain began to heal. It wasn’t until I accepted the Lord (at age 14) that I began
my long trip to forgiveness. It was hard to face those who had hurt me and to forgive them. But when I did, I finally began to heal.
Calvary Children’s Home was there for me every step of the way and I began to grow into a strong and good woman. Someday I
hope to have a degree in Early Child Development and to have my very own family with beautiful children of my own to love.”
. . . Jessica K.
“I am so blessed to be a part of an amazing family . . . one that loves me and takes care of me. You keep pouring your love over
me and I am truly thankful for that. My hope is that one day I will be able to give back to Calvary and love children the way you
all have. I want to be a kid who is not always receiving but one who is giving. Thank you for loving me and not giving up on me.
Thank you for helping me to make my dreams come true. Thank you for having an amazing impact in my life. God will bless you
for loving every child at Calvary the way you have. I am honored to say that I have the best family in the entire world. Thank you
for making a difference in my life.” . . . Jennifer L.
“I was an angry child. I think I still hold the record for the number of fist fights at my elementary school. But through the love,
compassion and help of my house parents, I was able to turn things around. You can’t change the past, but you can learn to accept
it. Growing up in Calvary, once I married, I wanted to give back to Calvary what they had given to me. My wife and I became house
parents and the one thing that I offer these kids is my experience. When they would come in from the bus stop crying or sitting
at the table silent for no apparent reason, I know where they’re coming from, because I was that kid. Our job as their houseparent was to help them see that we really love them and more importantly that God loves them and that we’ve all been brought to
Calvary for a specific purpose.” . . . C.J. M.
“Thank you for helping me get to the point that I am in my life. Words cannot express what you and the Home mean to me. I
will never forget where I came from and who has helped me out tremendously. Jesus Christ has blessed me by putting me in the
Home. I am glad that Rev. Ben Turner listened to God and founded Calvary. I have been a better person because of my experience
that I have encountered while at the Home.” . . . Tim J.
There are not enough words or deeds that I could ever do to repay the debt I owe to each and every one of you. If it had not been
for you so many years ago, I don’t know where I would be today. I’m just one of the many lives you’ve touched over the years, and
I pray that you will touch many more in years to come. You are all role models for me and always have been. I love you all from
the bottom of my heart.” . . . Mike R.

COMMEMORATIVE BRICK PROGRAM
In response to requests by
several of our friends, we
are pleased to revive our
commemorative brick
program. For your taxdeductible memorial/honor
gift of $125, we will recognize your loved one or friend
with a beautiful commemorative brick proudly
displayed on our campus.
The bricks will serve as a constant source of encouragement to the children of Calvary and a reminder
for years to come of the commitment and generosity
of the individuals, churches and organizations that
have helped provide a home for our children while
honoring the life of the one remembered.
We will acknowledge your gift with a personal letter
and receipt. Also, their name, as well as yours, will be
included in a subsequent newsletter to acknowledge
your thoughtful gift. This can be initiated through a
check or online giving by visiting our website at
calvarykids.org.
If you are interested, please contact Benita at
[email protected] and she will gladly send
you information necessary to remember your special
person with a commemorative brick on campus.
∏
WE APPRECIATE your prayers for our
children and staff. We value them as our
most important resource.

CALVARY NEWS . . . Ariel received the President’s Education Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement.
(Special congratulations to Ariel!)
Summer practice is in full swing for Edwin, Kenny, Noah and Micah who will be playing high school football in the fall.
And, Preston made the honor roll at Kemp Elementary. (Way to go, Preston!)
We presently have 24 children in our Calvary family . . . 18 boys and 6 girls. We want to insure that our children’s
lives, attitudes, and hopes are being built upon one of the most powerful messages they will ever know in God’s
love—they are special and unique; they do matter, and they are loved.
We are very grateful for everyone who continues to support this ministry. It takes many caring hearts to shoulder the
weight of a child’s life. Thank you for helping our ministry carry this precious load. Praise the Lord for all He has done
for this home, for our children, for these five decades.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!!!
