Larry and Lisa Vaughn

Peace Cottage Wish List ➔

Larry and Lisa Vaughn have faithfully served as Cottage Parents at Peace Cottage for nearly a decade, answering a clear and compelling call from God. Despite deep roots in their church, family, and farming life, they felt led to step away from the familiar and enter into the life-changing ministry of caring for children in need. Their journey began in Arkansas, where they first served at the Arkansas Baptist Children's Home, and in 2019, they followed God's call to the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home.

Before coming to LBCH, Larry and Lisa spent 38 years farming in southeast Arkansas, representing the fifth generation of farmers in their family. Their strong work ethic, deep faith, and commitment to family have become cornerstones of the care they now provide to the children in their cottage.

Over the years, the Vaughns have been a steady and loving presence in the lives of many children, but one story that continues to stand out is that of a sibling group of five. Keeping these siblings together and witnessing their adoption into a strong Christian family brought the Vaughns great joy. Today, those children are thriving, living in hope where once there was only hurt.

What brings Larry and Lisa the greatest sense of pride is the opportunity to provide their children with a home rooted in Christian love, structure, and stability. Many of the children who come into their care have experienced unimaginable hardship, and the Vaughns consider it a blessing to help them experience what it means to be part of a loving, God-centered family.

If they could say one thing to every child they've cared for, it would be: "God loves you and He has a perfect plan for your life. Trust Him, and He will reveal that plan in His time." They hope that every child leaves Peace Cottage with a clearer sense of God's unconditional love—seen and felt through their time together. And many of those bonds remain strong. The Vaughns are still in touch with several former residents, often being invited to family celebrations or receiving a phone call that, more often than not, ends with a heartfelt (and slightly humorous) request for one of Mrs. Lisa's recipes.

Larry and Lisa Vaughn's faithfulness, warmth, and unwavering commitment continue to be a reflection of Christ's love at the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home—where peace truly lives in their cottage.
