Mother's Day Offering: The Gift of Home

Mrs. Jean Cann and Robert Sprouse, Executive Director , Martha Franks Retirement Community

Funds received through the annual Mother's Day Offering are used to provide housing and care for qualified retired pastors, missionaries and their spouses who have faithfully served the Lord and now need your help.

Mrs. Jean Cann, the widow of a South Carolina Baptist minister, is grateful for your gifts to the annual Mother's Day Offering. She has lived at Martha Franks Retirement Community since her husband, John, and she helped with the groundbreaking on the campus in 1983. She recalls there were 80 residents when the community first opened. Eight moved in each week for ten weeks!

Not only did Jean and her husband live at Martha Franks, her father also lived there until he passed away at 98.

It means a lot to Jean, knowing that SCBMA & SCBaptist still have the same mission and values as when she and her husband helped open Martha Franks. And that, after supporting the work of SCBaptist for many years, she is now able to remain in her cottage because of the generosity of others who give to our annual Mothers Day Offering.
