Phillip Baney, President and CEO

Phillip Baney is founder of Battered Mothers Resource Fund, Inc. He is the son of the late Rev. Ralph Baney, Sr. who founded and directed the Holy Land Christian Mission based in Kansas City, Missouri. I spent most of my early career at the Mission headquarters in Kansas City. He then lived in Bethlehem for a year where I provided much needed assistance to the poor. In Israel, I worked to find and offer aid to needy widows and children who often lived in primitive mud huts without water and electricity. This was a heart wrenching experience that will stay with me forever. It was here where he developed the desire to help others. Seeing truly poor and desperate people trying to hold onto their children, he felt compelled to do something to help. I founded Battered Mothers Resource Fund, Inc. (BMRF), an organization to help women and children in crisis.
