Our Loving and Gracious GodOur Loving and Gracious GodDr. Bill Pierce, President

I have known the Bruton family since I was a preschooler growing up in First Baptist Church, Muskogee. We are good friends. Stan, Catherine, Neal and Steve.

The Brutons lived in the same neighborhood as my wife, Susan, when she was growing up, so she knows them well, too.

Stan had a wonderful tenor voice and sang in the church choir. He had a soloin the very moving presentation of Handel’s “Messiah” each year.

The Brutons knew, trusted and served the Lord. Stan was a pilot and also ran a very popular restaurant in Muskogee. Several years ago, Stan went to be with the Lord.

Catherine and Neal continued to live in the same Muskogee neighborhood for several years; then they moved to Baptist Village of Oklahoma City.

They were loved and accepted at the Village. It was a perfect place for them to call home. Neal told me that on Sundays, they went to chapel service and ate lunch in the dining room. Neal knew the precise time that they were supposed to leave the house each week (you would understand if you knew Neal…he remembers the details!). Catherine was especially excited when our former pastor, Bob Woods, came to lead Bible study at the Village.

On April 2, our gracious and loving God called Catherine home. I fi nd it very comforting to know that the very fi rst people who quickly came to the home when Neal called the Village offi ce were the people I serve with every day. Wendell Short, Jennifer Ulmer, Chris Finley and others were humbled to serve Neal and the Bruton family. In this family’s hour of great need, the ministers of Baptist Village were there. God prepared them to serve this family; my friends.

This kind of ministry takes place on many days in the BVC ministry. It is the story of our gracious and loving God who calls people to minister with and serve one another and live their lives for Christ until He takes them home.

I am reminded that it is a great privilege to be called by God to serve in the BVC ministry.

Thank you Wendell, thank you Jennifer, thank you Chris and others. Those aren’t just “people”, “customers” and “clients” that you ministered to; they are our brothers and sisters in Christ…and friends.

Thank you for everything that all of you do in the BVC ministry in faithfulness to our Father.

Serving God, Serving You, Serving Together. “through love, serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13b)

This is our calling.

Won’t You Be Our Neighbor?Won’t You Be Our Neighbor?

Southeast Oklahoma’s most unique and innovative place for assistance in living is now complete. The Neighborhoods at Baptist Village of Ada offi cially opened February 11.

A new neighborhood, named Proverbs Park, features 10 private apartment homes in a variety of fl oorplans. In the center of the neighborhood are a kitchen,dining room and a comfortable living area featuring a gas fi replace.

“The Neighborhoods promote the feeling of home,” attests Campus Director Tracy Scheer. “Residents receive assistance in living services in a family-style

setting. It’s something you have to see to truly experience the lifestyle.”

The physical design also is part of the service. Its unique layout promotes resident interaction with the employees, the “friends team.” Every friends team member serves universally, from providing personal assistance to dining services.

Meals are available anytime, reminiscent of home. Residents choose when to awake and are greeted with a made-to-order breakfast. Dining is family-style, as residents gather around the dining room table to eat and fellowship together.

Service plans are uniquely-designed for each resident to meet his or her preferences. Assistance in living services are numerous and may include medication administration, bathing and dressing assistance, housekeeping and laundry, just to name a few.

“We are so pleased to be serving in Ada,” says Dr. Bill Pierce, Baptist Village Communities president. “This additional neighborhood is a wonderful blessing. Proverbs Park is a place where the love of God will be shared and demonstrated each day.”

fi rst residents. They brought eggs by the case, donated 150 hens and even sacrifi ced S&H green stamps to buy Village utility carts.

The Unruhs came to BVC in 1990 from western Oklahoma. They proved to be a Godsend to BVC in a time of challenges. Jerry fi rst served as campus director at Baptist Village of Oklahoma City for several years. Jerry then began service at the BVC Home Offi ce as vice president of operations. He has served as senior vice president since 2005. Judy also has served the last 22 years with BVC. A registered nurse, she served as Baptist Village of Oklahoma City’s assistant campus director and T.B. Lackey Health Center director. She most recently served as quality fi rst specialist.

“Jerry and Judy are wonderful servants,” attests Dr. Bill Pierce, BVC president. “God called them to this ministry many years ago. They serve in love. They have been involved in shaping the future of aging services in such a way as a new culture has been created.”

The Legacy of Love Award is BVC’s highest recognition. Jerry and Judy have followed in the tradition of Will and Nora Baskett, transforming senior adults’ lives through ministry and service.

“The impact that Jerry and Judy have had on the Baptist Village Communities ministry is one that will go on and on.”

BVC proudly presented Jerry and Judy Unruh with the 2013 Will and Nora Baskett Legacy of Love Award at BVC’s February 12 Board meeting. Only the fourth recipients of the prestigious honor, The Unruhs join previous recipients Robert and Faye Griffi n, Bud and Joyce Evans, and Larry and Edwine Adams.

Will and Nora Baskett established the defi nitive legacy that lives on in BVC. This same spirit of ministry is found in the Unruhs.

The Will and Nora Baskett Legacy of Love Award is the highest recognition given by Baptist Village Communities (BVC). Pioneers in the aging services fi eld, the Basketts were highly infl uential in establishing the fi rst Baptist Village 55 years ago in Hugo.

The Basketts humbly gave their time and resources. They donated 68 acres of land and led a fundraising effort among their friends. Nora tore up her feather bed to make pillows for the

Just Whittle While You WorkJust Whittle While You WorkJason Davis

Did you know Baptist Village of Cleveland has a “man cave”? It is a small maintenance storage shed just outside of the Village. On any given day, you might fi nd resident Leo Rivers hanging out in there. But you won’t fi nd brooms or electrical tape or replacement parts in the cave.

You will, however, fi nd tools in there – mainly chisels, paintbrushes and a hammer or two. Oh, and wood. A lot of wood. It’s a veritable New Yankee Workshop in there.

Leo is an expert woodcarver. He has created hundreds of beautiful pieces, and he loves the process of creating a work of art from essentially nothing. He equates his woodcarving with the Christian walk.

“I enjoy taking a plain stick and making something beautiful out of it. This is much like what God does with us,” says Leo. “He takes our formless, ordinary lives and molds us into something beautiful.”

His interest in the hobby stems from a trip to Branson, Missouri 24 years ago. He and his wife, Christine, joined their daughter on the outing. While there, they took pleasure in observing master carvers create beautiful and intricate works of art from ordinary pieces of wood.

Leo was intrigued, to say the least. He had worked with wood before but never had taken part in much carving. His daughter took notice and presented him with his own starter woodcarving set.

The rest, they say, is history. Each project is truly a symphony of skill, especially considering the concentrated care and precision that goes into every piece.

“Using a pencil, I trace onto the block the areas I need to remove,” illustrates Leo. “I get to use a multitude of tools; most are intricate manual tools while others are powered. After I am fi nished with carving, the burning (on some…especially feathers) and painting begins. Painting is just as intricate as carving. I can carve small birds in about one week, while larger birds like red-tailed hawks take up to three months.”

His skill has progressed so much that he even has been able to sell dozens of pieces, including some up to $350.

He enjoyed skillfully crafting his masterpieces in the large shop at home for many years, but when he and Christine moved to the Village in 2012, space for a workshop became a challenge. He was used to his 24-foot long shop with every conceivable woodcarving tool known to man.

Leo Rivers proudly shows off some of his masterpieces.

Enter Campus Director Terry Dennis, Maintenance Director Garell Murray and the “man cave.”

“When he (Leo) and Christine were getting ready to move to the Village, he told me he was not looking forward to giving up all his carving,” attests Terry. “I talked to Garell and we fi gured out a place for his cave. Leo was thrilled.”

“As I’ve grown older, larger pieces have become more diffi cult to work with, so I have since been working on smaller pieces. The cave being smaller is a good size for the carving I do now,” says Leo.

God has blessed and guided his hands, and Baptist Village is thrilled that God has guided he and Christine to minister with us.

Leo hard at work in the man cave.

Entrusted Hearts services at home, a ministry of Baptist Village Communities, provides the services you want, when you want them in the place you call home. One of the most exciting avenues this is accomplished through is personalized services. Those receiving these services are varied and truly come from all walks of life.

Lillie Bell J. enjoys compassionate assistance with daily living. Wilma Vaughn is exceedingly grateful to have the medical equipment that allows her to have an enhanced life. This is personalized services defi ned.

Joyce B., who receives personalized services from Entrusted Hearts’ Owasso offi ce, is a show woman. She is famous for portraying “Minnie More”, and even received a standing ovation for her performance at New York City’s Sardi’s Restaurant in 2008. “My act is always good; it’s just the crowd that varies!” Joyce quips.

Elizabeth S., a Nebraska native, enjoys the services she receives in the Lawton area. She was “home-grown”, being raised for the fi rst 10 years of her life on a farm. She attributes her 95 years to “hard work and growing up in the Depression.”

Oklahoma City’s own Janette C. played tennis in the high school state championship. She attended Baylor University, where she was named Baylor University Belle’s “Best Personality”. She credits all the good things in her life to the Lord.

Ruth H. grew up in North Carolina. She once ran a diner and worked as a nanny. She and her own personal Entrusted Hearts My-L.I.F.E.-Guide® work together to make Ruth’s life easier.

These are just a few of many senior adults singing praises for Entrusted Hearts personalized services. Services received are broad and include assistance with meal preparation, transportation, light housekeeping and laundry, errands and shopping, bathing and dressing, live-in and respite services, among others. In addition, nursing and therapies also are available.

Entrusted Hearts personalized services are tailored to your wants and desires. For more information, call 1-866-887-2872, or visit entrustedhearts.org. Baptist Village Communities and Entrusted Hearts can serve you today!

Western Oklahoma PioneersWestern Oklahoma Pioneers

Bert and Sue Hutson have agreed to lead the fundraising campaign to bring Baptist Village Communities (BVC) to western Oklahoma. Their pioneer spirit refl ects the 55-year history of BVC begun with Will and Nora Baskett, who gave tirelessly of their time and resources to establish the fi rst Baptist Village in Hugo in 1958. Bert and Sue have followed this tradition by making a signifi cant gift to the campaign and encouraging others to join them as pioneers in westernOklahoma.

BVC will bring state-of-the art neighborhoods to western Oklahoma that will provide unmatched services to older adults. The Bert and Sue Hutson Neighborhoods will include 15 apartment homes for Independence Plus, 30 for assistance in living and 15 for memory support in a beautiful setting centered on the resident’s wants and desires. This will be the only Village of its kind in western Oklahoma and will lead the way for change in how services are provided to older adults.

“Having toured Baptist Village of Broken Arrow and seen fi rsthand how BVC is changing the culture of services to older adults, we feel it is God’s plan for western Oklahoma to make this happen,” says Bert. “Western Oklahoma truly has been blessed over the past several years, and we have the opportunity to honor God and those who worked hard and sacrifi ced for us to we could enjoy those blessings.”

Pioneers like Will and Nora Baskett and Bert and Sue Hutson are being used by God to honor those who sacrifi ced so much for our future, and we now are challenged to lead the way in bringing this great ministry to western Oklahoma. For more information on how you can partner with BVC, call (405) 942-3000 ext. 4205 or (405) 570-9787.

Serving God, Serving You, Serving Together is Baptist Village Communities’ (BVC) theme. You can be a part of serving others through the BVC ministry by providing fi nancial support in the form of securities, stocks and bonds. Gifts of appreciated stocks or bonds have the same positive benefi ts to Baptist Village Communities as a cash gift; however, a gift of securities usually is more benefi cial to the donor. A gift of marketable securities which has been held longer than one year entitles the donor to acharitable deduction of the full fair market value (FMV) of the securities. The FMV is determined by the average of the high and low sales prices of the stocks on the gift date. A donor may apply the gifts as a deduction up to 30% of one’s adjusted gross income (AGI) in the case of securities, with the same fi ve-year carryover provision and avoids gift and estate taxation, as with cash gifts.

Additionally, the donor avoids paying taxes on capital gains on the appreciated value of the securities. This can be a major benefi t when the securities have been held over a long period of time and if they have grown in value. For more information on how you can support the BVC ministry, call the development offi ce at (405) 942-3000 ext. 4205. Thank you for your support!

Baptist Village Communities (BVC) is leading the way again in shaping the future of aging services. This is evidenced by two members being honored by LeadingAge Oklahoma, the Oklahoma state association of not-for-profi t senior living organizations. BVC was the only multiple award winner at the March 12 annual conference. Baptist Village Lake Texoma’s Tony Mericle was named outstanding

Tony Mericle has served with Baptist Village Lake Texoma since 2008. After leaving the oilfi eld, Tony had a desire to minister with others. He fulfi lls this need as the maintenance man at the Village, but he has become so much more for the residents. He regularly goes above and beyond his “job duties” to serve not only residents but also seniors in the community. Tony is self-directed in his service, seeking out maintenance issues and resolving them promptly. Because of his multitude of skills, he saves the Village considerable money, since an outside repairman is not needed. He takes unexpected daily interruptions in stride,

BVC President Dr. Bill Pierce, Tony Mericle, Pam Mericle, Lake Texoma Campus Director James Rosson and Nancie Rosson

always ready and willing to help residents, even after hours if needed. If kitchen assistance is needed, Tony steps in, serving food, drinks and desserts to residents. He helps residents on his own time with their personal appliance repair at no cost. He even carries out their trash for them on chilly days. He actively participates in Village life, making homemade ice cream for cookouts. The residents attest that Tony is a blessing and they don’t know what they would do without him. He is kind, thoughtful and makes them laugh. Tony is a man full of love for God and people. From a light bulb needing replaced to drain problem or refrigerator acting up – Tony will fi x it. Gloria Hare has been serving with Baptist Village for more than 35 years – and she has never missed work. She serves on the friends team as a certifi ed medication aide and exemplifi es BVC’s mission to honor God by providing quality living and compassionate health care in a Christian environment. Since 1977, Gloria faithfully has served residents at Baptist Village of Hugo. Aside from being meticulous in the important and challenging task of administering a multitude of different medications, Gloria maintains her focus on the residents, always placing them before the task.

Vice President - Operations Steve Thomas, Gloria Hare and Hugo Campus Director Cindy Hotubbee

She always can be seen with a huge smile on her face, making every resident and family member feel like they are the most important person. Gloria is a frontrunner in the aging services profession. Rarely will one fi nd a team member with the combination of character above reproach and unique skills, abilities and passion to serve that Gloria possesses. She quietly goes about doing things the right way and for the right reasons. She is a prime example of serving with professionalism, dignity and honor. Her level of expertise, commitment and dedication in serving others truly is outstanding. One resident illustrates this.“Gloria gives me my medicine with a smile and I love her. I could not be more pleased. She is always friendly and pleasant to me, even on my bad days.” Tony and Gloria are just two examples of friends team members creating a culture of serving God, serving you and serving together. This enables residents to receive services they want, when they want them in a place they call home. Baptist Village Communities serves more than 2,200 people every day across Oklahoma through eight Villages, three home health agencies and a medical equipment provider.

2012 Chaplaincy Ministry Report

Baptist Village Communities (BVC) has the privilege and joy of placing a chaplain in every Village to coordinate ministry with residents, clients, families and friends team members. Many of the chaplains are volunteers. Each chaplain is challenged to enhance ministry by organizing residents into teams and equipping them for service. It is rewarding to see residents ministering to one another and exercising their own unique spiritual gifts and talents. The Village chaplains and ministry teams reported the following results from their combined efforts in 2012:

LINC® (Loving, Inspiring, Nurturing, Caring) is an exciting ministry of Baptist Village Communities. LINC® is a program designed to equip churches to develop a vibrant ministry to elders in senior living communities by providing training, resources and ministry tools. A LINC® consultant works with senior living community team members to open the doors of ministry and tailor it to meet residents’ specifi c needs. The goal of LINC® is to give every Oklahoma Southern Baptist church the opportunity and knowledge to extend its current ministry in the community.

For more information on LINC® and other chaplaincy ministries, contact Chris Finley, director of chaplain services, at (405) 470-8915 or cfi nley@okc.baptistvillage.org.

2012 Social Accountability Report

Opportunities to provide community services are multiplied every day throughout Baptist VillageCommunities (BVC). They are the natural activities of our organization, whose mission is to honor God by providing quality living and compassionate health care in a Christian environment. These services help meet unmet needs in communities. Since its founding in 1958, BVC has grown to include eight Villages, three home health agencies and a medical equipment company. The number of people ministered to daily has grown from 1,150 in 1993 to more than 2,200 today - a 91 percent increase in the last 20 years. Revenues have increased from less than $10 million in 1993 tomore than $35 million in 2012 - a more than 250 percent increase. BVC has pursued its mission not only in its growing communities but in becoming pioneers in a culture change movement that is shaping the future of aging services in our state and nation. The social accountability report allows you to understand how BVC impacted its surrounding communities, providing charitable services in the towns and cities BVC serves. Annually, BVC documents its social accountability. Campus directors keep records of their charitable services and community programs. In 2012, BVC provided benefi ts to residents, friends team members and the wider communities in thefollowing areas:

• Area agencies on aging • State units on aging • State and local health planning agencies • State and local health and wellness departments

BVC also provides outright benevolence to residents who need assistance in affording services. Along with the generosity of Village team members and other residents, fi nancial needs are being addressed. Senior adults, families and children are assisted with basic needs such as provision of food, health care and housing. Meeting community needs includes, but is not limited to:

• Caregivers supporting the elderly in the community

• Elderly living alone or with few social opportunities • Homebound senior adults having diffi culty with daily living activities • Widows and couples with limited resources and income • People in need of services they may otherwise not be able to receive

Using the Adams Assistance Fund to assist with monthly service fees, we have met an average of 75 individual needs per month. Those assisted through this fund are residents who, without it, would be unable to meet their monthly expenses. The friends teams and residents of several Villages have participated and volunteered their time to help with items like free home health care and providing services for residents receiving Medicaid, where there is a shortfall in reimbursement. BVC provided charitable services to their broader communities by meeting fi nancial, health and community needs - serving 7,118 people with a value of $2,470,769.16. In 2012, BVC provided hundreds of services in Oklahoma communities. These needs were met through providing the following services, among others:

• Alzheimer’s support groups • Arts and crafts sale • Blood pressure and blood sugar clinics • Host community kids for games and fellowship • Community outreach concerts • Fishing derbies • Food baskets to team members in need • Free AARP tax preparation services • Handbell choirs • Health fairs • Host emergency responders banquet • Independence Day celebrations • Intercessory prayer ministry • Recycling programs • Rental assistance • School supplies for children • Site for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts projects • Transportation for residents • Voting precinct site
