As a dedication to my father and mother, William Ed Baker and Annie C. Baker, Calvin Baker is launching Spread the Love Ministry.  His parents instilled in him a sense of generosity as a child by providing for the neighbors and sharing love with those who are less fortunate than him. It was important to him to grow up with a roof over his head, food in his home, clothes on his back, and somewhere he felt safe, and he was raised by his mother and father. When he was a child, he recalls his father providing help to the neighborhood with fruit baskets during their holidays, and giving them fruitcakes was something he gave up every holiday, especially Christmas. At that time, he would prepare baskets for different people in the neighborhood and instruct us to deliver them to our neighbors, and he always demonstrated love for them. Growing up, we had five of us in a household, but mom always had people in our home, and we always fed them. His mother always prepared enough food for anyone who could come to the Baker's home to get a meal and they always had enough food. As a result, whenever you visited the Baker family, his parents and he all showed love, provided food, and were always doing or giving away different things, and that was our family ministry of service.
