- [Camp BAM 2025](https://ncbam.org/camp-bam-2025/) - For many, summer camp memories are made of songs, s’mores, crafts, and carefree afternoons. But for the 25 intergenerational participants of Camp BAM 2025, their most meaningful memories were forged through sweat, service, and shared prayers with aging adults still recovering from disaster.
- [Honoring Every Season](https://ncbam.org/honoring-every-season/) - Nothing good ever came from a tsunami. So why is it acceptable to refer to 73 million baby boomers as a “silver tsunami”—as if they are a looming catastrophe? This phrase is just one example of how dismissive language about aging subtly shapes our culture and influences the way older adults are treated.
- [N-O-W Is the Time for Something NEW](https://ncbam.org/n-o-w-is-the-time-for-something-new/) - We have all heard the phrase, “You can’t teach an old dog, new tricks.” However, God never views our lives that way, no matter how old we are. In the NCBAM Call Center we regularly take 400-500 calls each month and nearly 80% of our clients are unchurched. We are constantly reminded of the importance of sharing the Gospel (Good News) with those we encounter. We believe that God desires for everyone to begin a new life through a relationship with Jesus Christ, no matter their age. (If you know of a person who needs help, have them call the NCBAM Call Center, Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm at 877-506-2226.)
- [NCBAM Care Villages – A Partnership Opportunity](https://ncbam.org/ncbam-care-villages-a-partnership-opportunity/) - Approximately one in five North Carolinians is age 65 or older. Many are aging well; countless others are struggling. At the NCBAM Call Center, we hear their stories every day. Medical bills and rising costs have eliminated savings. Homes are in need of repair and some individuals haven’t left home in months or even years because of a few unpassable steps.
- [Finding Solace in Loneliness](https://ncbam.org/finding-solace-in-loneliness/) - While recently reading through the Psalms of David, I came across the verse from chapter 34 that states, “The Lord is close to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” While reading, I was immediately drawn to think of the numerous people who are lonely and feel isolated.
- [New Wheelchair Ramp Renews Mobility](https://ncbam.org/making-a-difference-2/) - Connie Clark’s home sits high above a peaceful tree-lined street in Lexington. Its broad and comfortable front porch is tidy and swept clean. Potted plants cozy up next to each of the old porch’s posts – peace lilies, anemones and hydrangea cuttings each enjoying their own slice of shade.
- [A New Season](https://ncbam.org/a-new-season/) - Recently, I found myself in a new, unforeseen season of life. I moved from my lifelong hometown where I had close family, a tight-knit friend group, and a church where I had actively served for over 30 years, to a new city 200 miles away.
- [Caregivers find encouragement through resources](https://ncbam.org/caregivers-find-encouragement-through-resources/) - Team members from North Carolina Baptist Aging Ministry (NCBAM) recently had the privilege of meeting and hearing the author of The Heart of The Caregiver – Mary Tutterow. Her presentation gave a greater appreciation for her and her book’s teachings. It was my privilege to walk a small group of caregivers through the book and
- [NCBAM provides potential life-saving Red Bags with salvation plan](https://ncbam.org/red-bags/) - Retired for 18 years and widowed for five, 80-year-old Sonny Westmoreland does not let grass grow under his feet. Or his neighbor’s for that matter. He stays active helping others – like the frail neighbor whose yard he mows each week. An active deacon at Haymore Memorial Baptist Church in Mt. Airy, Westmoreland also volunteers
- [Retired pastor shares God’s love with heart and humor](https://ncbam.org/retired-pastor-shares-gods-love-with-heart-and-humor/) - Retired pastor Ronnie Beane loves to lighten hearts with his keen sense of humor. When he is not assisting aging adults through the NCBAM Call Center, you may find him impersonating the king of rock ‘n’ roll at an NCBAM event. NCBAM team members Amy Burns and Shirley Carlson (l-r) can’t help falling in love with their dedicated and fun-loving colleague. (Photo: Jim Edminson)
- [Disney World No Competition for Camp BAM!](https://ncbam.org/disney-world-no-competition-for-camp-bam/) - Aubrey’s eyes shone with determination as she told her mom, “Make sure our Disney trip is not the week of Camp BAM. I will not miss that!” A rising high school senior, this was Aubrey’s 4th Camp BAM as part of “IMPACT Community Youth” – a unique group comprised of churched and unchurched teens from Stanly and Rowan counties.
- [Full Circle of Love](https://ncbam.org/full-circle-of-love-dan-lambeths-lifelong-bond-with-baptist-childrens-homes/) - Dan Lambeth’s journey with Baptist Children’s Homes (BCH) is a testament to the enduring power of love and care. In 1967, nine-year-old Dan came to live on the Mills Home campus. His house mother, Estelle Couch, provided Dan with nurture and guidance, and now, at age 66, the same ministry has come full circle—by building a wheelchair ramp to support Dan’s safety and independence at home.
- [Weathering a Storm](https://ncbam.org/weathering-a-storm/) - Strong winds, toppled trees, damaged property, and with more than 10 inches of rain in 4 days last August, Hurricane Debby left a trail of destruction in eastern North Carolina.
- [Shining the Light](https://ncbam.org/shining-the-light/) - Within the steep hills, deep valleys, and the branches, streams, and hollows in western North Carolina, there is a light shining: God’s Light! And this light shines through Christ followers, through His church. I believe that God’s children have within them the strongest light in the universe, if they will let it shine. This is our purpose, to let the light of Jesus Christ shine. (“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16)
- [Making a Difference](https://ncbam.org/making-a-difference/) - “There’s no doubt we are called to do this. I’m a Call Center Specialist for North Carolina Baptist Aging Ministry (NCBAM) and my husband is a Pastor, but at our core, we’re both missionaries.” Shirley Carlson is referring to her and her husband’s recent work providing Disaster Relief services with Baptists on Mission after Hurricane Helene.
