A lesson in practicing pure religion
... as taught by a widow
J
ames 1:27 is the cornerstone of our ministry at Children’s Homes, Inc. Throughout our 61
years of caring for children we have always worked to fulfill God’s command to care for the
fatherless. This has not been something we have been able to do alone. It has taken countless
numbers of God’s people to partner with us in our mission. Ironically, the other group for
which we are called to care in James is the widow. Yet, day-after-day, widows have been some
of our most faithful supporters in the care of His children.
Micah Brinkley
Recently, we received a letter about one such widow who understood sacrificial
service to God. Her story is so pure and inspiring that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity
to share with you the letter. We are thankful the writer gave us permission to share their
thoughts. Out of respect for this fine woman of God, I will honor the wishes of those
involved and remove names in the letter as to keep everyone involved anonymous.
“Thank you for taking time to write the letter recognizing her contributions to
Children’s Homes, Inc. It has been an honor to assist them in the disbursements of their trust.
Every cent of their lifetime savings went to Christian organizations. She and her husband
serve as an example of strong Christians who kept their focus on serving the Lord their entire
lives.
“I had to smile at the mention of her taking the coffee home from all our fellowship
meals. By the way, the thermos was probably 50 years old. It was one of those glass-lined
ones that most of us broke within a year or two. I tried to give her a stainless steel one, but
she would have none of it. And that was only a small illustration of her frugality. She had a
clothes dryer, but always hung her wash on a clothes line. I had to go tighten it up for her
every couple of years.
“She mowed her (extremely large - around 3 acres) yard well into her eighties. As
perhaps you know, she had a hip that was deteriorated, but refused to have surgery. She lived
with constant pain, but never spoke of it. During mowing season (9-10 months out of the
year), she mowed every day that it was not raining, except Sunday. She drug around an old
white oak basket picking up sticks and pine cones between every mowing.
“Her home had central air-conditioning, but we weren’t sure if it worked or not,
because she refused to use it. She had fans in two or three rooms where she slept and spent
her days. She also had central heat, but very rarely used it; instead, she had a gas heater in the
‘front room’ that heated her living room and kitchen.
“She kept perfect records of everything! More than most people can hardly imagine.
She kept every personal letter that she ever received (that’s not an exaggeration). When
she was forced to go to the nursing home, and we were preparing to sell her home, it was
heartbreaking to have to burn all her personal records. There were hundreds of pounds of
paper that had to be burned. (She was determined that not one piece of paper that had her
name and address on it be taken to the dump…it had to be burned. I spent days burning it
all…under her strict supervision!)
“Her car was 30-something years old and she recorded the
mileage at the beginning and end of every single trip…including the
date and destination. You might imagine how many pages of records
that would have been.
“She and her husband had no credit record, because they never
bought anything on credit! If they could not pay for it, they did
without until they could pay cash. They actually did make one loan
– for a house when he was discharged from the service and they got
married. It was the same house she lived in until her death. It was
something like a 10-year loan. They paid it off in something like three
years. That was the one and only thing they bought ‘on credit’.
“They were extremely private people about their personal
business…most especially about their finances. I endured her telling
me over and over and over that she wanted to make sure that only she
and the Lord and myself know anything about ‘her business’. She did
everything she could to try to make sure that even those who were to
be beneficiaries of their trust would not be able to know where the
money came from. I told her that was not possible unless I converted
everything to cash and distributed it as cash and that I was not willing
to take the responsibility of doing that!
“I could go on and on, but perhaps that will help you understand
why I agreed to serve as trustee for their estate when I have consistently
refused to do so for numerous others. Actually, she approached me
about the matter shortly after her husband’s funeral and said, ‘One of
the last things he talked to me about was to ask you if you would be
the trustee of our estate.’ I told her that wasn’t fair…but what could
I say! We had as close to a ‘mother-son relationship’ as I will ever have
with anyone besides my own mother.
“I am pleased to know that you use her as an example of
someone who sacrificed to be able to have everything possible to give
to the Lord’s work! She was the epitome of a humble Christian servant.
The fact that she considered Children’s Homes, Inc. worthy of her
support speaks volumes about both her life and the work in which you
are involved.”
I believe it is important for this story to be told. My prayer is that it will serve as an
example to those who will come after the generation of people who got by on as little as
possible so what was leftover could go to someone else who was really in need.
Through what they leave behind, we find their faithfulness, as well as their desire for us
to pick up where they left off to run the race they started.
May their devotion and passion to do God’s will by caring for the fatherless inspire you
to fulfill James 1:27 in your own life.

Children in care and employees of Children's Homes, Inc. make the walk from their buses to the State Capitol building

olitical opinions run rampant
in any given year, but in a
presidential election year,
people's devotion to their
political stances hits a fever pitch. One
need not look far to find examples of
protesters taking their stance for or
against a certain candidate or policy too
far.
It's this current environment, along
with some proposed legislation that
could directly affect Children's Homes,
Inc. and our service to children in need
(see the story on the next page), that
prompted our executive director Micah
Brinkley and others to demonstrate to
our children in care the proper way to
seek an audience with political leaders.
After some correspondence with
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson's
office and CHI's attendance of the
governor's "Restore Hope Summit," a
gathering of faith leaders to discuss the
state's foster care crisis held in August of
2015, Micah requested an audience with
Gov. Hutchinson.
Micah said he sought the visit for
several reasons.
"First, we want the children in care
Help. Hope. Home.
to know they can sit down and have a conversation with their
elected officials without all the screaming and yelling, as is
the case across our country right now," Micah said. "We also
felt it was important for Gov. Hutchinson to speak directly to
children in the child welfare system in Arkansas. If the system
is designed to protect and benefit children, then we feel the
children should have the opportunity to use their voice. The
hopes and wishes for their lives shouldn’t be passed through
adults up the chain of command, losing its passion and desire
with each level of bureaucracy.
"Finally, we just like to do special things for the children in
our care — things they might never get to do otherwise. Trips
like these demonstrate to the children that we value them and
are proud of them. It is all about making deposits into each
child’s life bank. As we invest in them, they begin to grow
their value and self-worth. As those grow, they become more
confident in themselves and their abilities and talents."
The governor granted the request and an appointment was set
for late May. We made a giant group field trip out of it, complete
with chartered buses. The Somers Avenue Church of Christ in
North Little Rock hosted a spaghetti lunch for the group.
Our children and employees toured the capitol to learn a bit
of the state's rich history. Following the tour, some children and
employees met with Gov. Hutchinson in his reception room.
After Gov. Hutchinson entered the room and introductions
were made, Micah explained to the governor that we wished
to demonstrate for our children that there are ways to get your
ideas across without yelling.
At this, Gov. Hutchinson turned his attention from Micah to
the children in the room, and in deadpan fashion said, "Please,
don't yell at me."

Federal Issues Create Concerns at Children’s Homes, Inc.
Over the past few weeks, two separate
federal government issues have created
a significant amount of concern and
uncertainty for how ministries like Children’s
Homes, Inc. will function in the future.
The first issue is the new rule changes to
the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). FLSA
establishes minimum wage and overtime
pay standards, among other standards,
affecting employees in the private sector
and in Federal, State and local governments.
Recently, the Department of Labor
released final revisions to the FLSA, which
will go into effect Dec. 1, 2016. These
revisions could significantly change how
employees of Children’s Homes, Inc. are
classified, as well as challenge the current
wage schedule for employees.
All employees are classified as either
exempt or non-exempt. An exempt employee

I
n the small town of Greenway, Ark., the Hill family sells
sweet corn from two acres of corn fields. Every year, they
offer some of their corn to Children's Homes, Inc. at no
cost to us. We just have to go pick it. Recently, eight of our
girls went to pick some corn, along with one of the houseparents
and a couple others.
When we arrived at the house, the girls covered themselves
with bug spray and put on gloves. Mike Hill, who has the corn,
instructed the girls: "Pick the bigger ears. Make sure they are firm
and filled out. They don't need to be too small. If you get one that
you don't like, just throw it down. Any questions?"
There were no questions, so the corn started flying as the girls
tossed it into the trailer.
Mike Hill and the Hill family have been growing corn for about
20 years. Most years children from Children's Homes, Inc. come
out and pick the corn themselves. "They're real proud of it and we
have a lot of fun," he said. Since his home congregation at Greenway
has been supporting the Home for years, it only made sense to him
that he offer to give us corn.
After the trailer was filled to the brim, the girls took a break with
refreshments provided by the Hill family. Then they were back at
it for another round.
All in all, it was estimated that 300 dozen ears of corn were
picked, which is valued somewhere around $1,000. We thank the
Hill family for their continued support of Children's Homes, Inc.
"It's not just something we do, it's a tradition," Arvil Hill,
Children's Homes, Inc. Development Representative, said.

Fun at The Ridge
It's been another summer full of fun at Crowley's Ridge Youth Camp at The Ridge Retreat and Adventure Center.
Five sessions full of kids have enjoyed the new additions to the campus, including: the Vertical Playground, 50-foot
climbing wall, Human Foosball, Nine Square in the Air, Footgolf and Gaga Ball. Of course, the campers have also
enjoyed old favorites like our zipline, pool and activities like kickball, canoeing, fishing and horseback rides. Though
summer may be nearing a close, remember The Ridge is available year-round for retreats for your church, business
group or reunions. Call 870.573.6766 or visit theridgecenter.org for more information.

Summer progress
This summer (and late spring) we have been blessed to have several multi-talented volunteer groups who have
helped us immensely. We've had groups from Ankeny (Iowa) Church of Christ, Fairgrounds Road Church of Christ
from Jefferson City, Mo., New Bethel Church of Christ from Bryant, Ark., Highway Church of Christ from Judsonia,
Ark., Green Forrest Church of Christ from Poplar Bluff, Mo. and Bartlett Woods Church of Christ from Memphis,
Tenn. We also have several groups scheduled for later in the summer, of whom we'll share pictures later on. Pictured
are Sabien and Leroy of the Fairgrounds Road group (top), a young man from the Highway congregation (bottom left)
and Penny from the Ankeny group (bottom right). The groups have tackled everything from painting projects and
weeding gardens to building fences and preparing a building for demolition. To see photos from each volunteer group
and a sampling of the projects they accomplished, visit www.facebook.com/childrenshomesinc.

CAPITOL Continued from page 7
The governor's interaction with our children made quite an
impression on two of the residents, Chayenne and Destiny.
“At first, I was extremely nervous because I was meeting the
governor," Chayenne said. "I’ve never met a governor before.
But then I got in there and he came out and was really nice
and calm. It made it easier.”
“He turned out to be a pretty cool guy,” Destiny said.
Back in April, a former resident, Debbie, delivered a speech
sharing her personal story, the impact God had on her life, as
well as Children's Homes, Inc.'s part in God's plan for her.
We invited Debbie to visit the Capitol with us and she
shared her speech with the governor. Gov. Hutchison
applauded her resilience and her willingness to share her
story. The governor then asked some of the children in
attendance to say a few words. Several mentioned the
difference in care they received through CHI as compared to
other facilities they had experienced.
As the visit drew to a close, Micah presented Gov.
Hutchinson with a gift of two Children's Homes, Inc. ink pen
sets and invited the governor to visit our Paragould campus
any time his busy schedule would allow it.
A limited number of children and employees were able to
meet the governor, so the remaining members of the group
visited the state treasurer's office.
This proved to be pretty popular with the children because
everyone was allowed to hold a brick of $400,000.
Thanks to the generosity of the Crossett (Ark.) Church of
Christ and the Sheridan (Ark.) Church of Christ, a meal was
waiting for the children in care and houseparents when they
returned to campus. These churches also provided snacks and
drinks for the bus ride home from Little Rock.
It's our hope that the experience will stick with our
children in care and that in the future they'll remember
interaction with public officials can be civil. Cheyanne said
the visit will make her more likely to try to engage public
officials when she's an adult, should the need arise.
We want to thank Gov. Hutchinson, his staff, the staff of
the State Capitol and the three churches of Christ for making
this trip such an enjoyable and memorable one.
We offer a competitive salary and benefit package.

CONCERNS Continued from page 7
is compensated based on their position and
job duties and is not eligible for overtime
pay as long as they meet the minimum
standards of wage and job duties. A nonexempt employee is compensated for the
hours they work each week and is always
eligible for overtime pay for any hours they
work over 40 in a work week.
Currently, Children’s Homes, Inc. has
employees who are classified as exempt or
non-exempt. For those who are currently
non-exempt, the FLSA changes do not affect
them. They will still work and be paid for a
40-hour week. Should their duties require
overtime hours, they will be paid for those
hours based on the FLSA standards. This is
how Children’s Homes, Inc. currently handles
the non-exempt employee classification.
The biggest changes are coming to those
employees who meet the current standards
to be classified as an exempt employee.
While there are several minimum standards
an employer must meet to be able to classify
an employee as exempt, the starting point is
the wage threshold. For an employee to be
classified as exempt, their salary must meet
a minimum threshold. On Dec. 1st, 2016,
that minimum threshold is going to double.
The new rule will significantly increase
CHI’s annual budget should CHI try to keep
all the current exempt employees with that
classification.
You may think the solution is simple - make
all employees non-exempt and hold them to
a 40-hour work week. Problem solved! Well,
it’s not that easy.
For some employers, that solution will work
fine. However, for employees of Children’s
Homes, Inc. who work directly with the
children in our care, staying within 40 hours
in a work week is rarely to never possible.
Children who are in need do not limit those
needs for love, care, hugs, tears, support and
supervision to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday with an hour off for lunch. Trying to
force Children’s Homes, Inc. into that model
turns us into a business, rather than a ministry,
which we have proudly been since 1955.
This ministr y requires irregular
schedules and long days because the needs
of the children must be met whenever the
needs arise.
The staff at Children’s Homes, Inc. is
dedicated to being there for the children
whenever the children need them to be there,
regardless of the time of the day or day of
the week, which is why the new minimum
standards are so challenging.
Right now, we don’t have a good solution
to the FLSA’s new rule. All we do know at
this point is that we are going to be forced to
change something to make sure Children’s
Homes, Inc. remains in compliance with the
new rule. And, we know that any changes are
going to require an increase in our annual
operating budget. At this point, we have no
idea how big or small any increases will be.
Regardless of the size of the increase, it is
going to require Children’s Homes, Inc. to
take a long, hard look at every facet of our
ministry to see where we can become leaner
to accommodate these changes.
We solicit your prayers as we wade through
the FLSA revisions and search for the best
way to remain in compliance without having
to compromise the necessary programs and
services we provide to the children in our care.
The other issue is legislation making its
way through Congress entitled the Family
First Prevention Services Act. While this bill’s
intended purpose is to develop programs and
services to help children stay in their homes,
its underlying message is that residential group
homes and foster care are bad for children.
Yes, there are some programs throughout
this country that do not provide quality care
for at-risk children. The problem is that
this legislation lumps quality programs like
Children’s Homes, Inc. together with the bad
ones to argue that we are ALL bad.
Since the legislation is stalled, we don’t
know when it will be revisited by Congress
or if any changes will be made that might
paint programs like Children’s Homes, Inc.
in a more favorable light.
We will keep you informed as more
information becomes available on the future
of the Family First Protection Services Act
and how it will affect Children’s Homes, Inc.

Farewell,
Foodroom
In September of last year,
we dedicated our Clothing
and Food Center, leaving
what was referred to as "The
Foodroom" without much
purpose. The building had
multiple structural issues
that left it too costly to repair.
After several volunteer
groups had removed items
that might serve another
purpose, demolition of the
building began on July 6.
Visit www.facebook.com/
childrenshomesinc for more
photos and video of the
building's demolition. We are
quite thankful for the building
and the purpose it served for
many years.
