Director's
Report
There
are currently 150 children in residence at the
Home.
Prayer Requests & Praises
Pray for all of the children,
for their physical provision, safety and spiritual growth.
Financial
Needs
- Pray that God will continue to provide the resources that
the Home needs to minister to those, whom He has brought to
the Home and He plans to bring to the Home.
Praise God
for His provision during 2007.
Sponsorship
- $200 monthly for each child at the Home. The increase
considers cost of school tuition, books and uniforms which
are approximately $60,000 annually.
Children's
Home Ministry Partners
- Please pray for the 500 new partners that will serve and
support the ministry.
Education
Cost
- Pray for Saul & Maria as they adjust to the budget
for the Home considering the cost of tuition, books and
uniforms for the children.
House Parents
- Thank God for those house parents whom He has provided.
Continue to pray for a couple needed for a boy's dorm and a
lady needed for a girl's dorm to complete the staff.
Laundry Equipment
- That God will provide the financial gifts to acquire
additional commercial equipment in support of the growing
needs at the Home. The home needs 1 - 50 pound washing
machine and 3 - 70 pound propane dryers.
Medical
Clinic
- Support for the clinic and staff to minister to the
community. The clinic needs about $500 a month support to
function effectively. In addition, it needs medications and
needs dentists who can serve quarterly.
Circulating
Fans
- Industrial type oscillating circulating fans will be
provided by a supporter and will be installed during an
upcoming work trip.
Working Garage
- Dr. Camacho would like to construct a working garage to
provide an area where mechanical work can be performed on
buss', vehicles & farm equipment. The garage would also
be used for storage of equipment. The estimate for
construction of the facility is $15,000. Details can be
obtained from Dr. Camacho.
Buses
- The Home needs two 40-44 passenger buses as replacements.
Check your local school auctions for two serviceable
gasoline buses (duty to import the buses is 14 to 20% of
the purchase price).
Support Cards
- Pray that the Board will develop a way to communicate
with those who come to the Home and encourage continued
involvement with the ministry of the Home through prayer,
active participation or financial support.
Medical and Dental Mission Workers
- God would provide the medical and dental workers for the
mission service opportunities.

PLANT
A TREE PROGRAM
There
is an old saying: “Have a son, write a book, plant a
tree for your life to have an impact”
Recently, a group of retired “winter
Texans”
who spend the winter in Tip O Texas, got together,
purchased and planted 60 orange, tangerines and grapefruit
trees here at Matamoros Children’s Home to make this
saying reality.
I
know this orchard will bring fruits
and will impact the lives of all of us here. To all who
contributed to make this happen my sincere gratitude!!!
For years to come
these trees will be a reminder of those who lovingly
dedicated their resources, time and effort to start this
orchard.
Staff and children are excited
about learning how to care for these trees and even some
venture to say “it would be a great idea if every one
of us has one tree to care for”.
I just smile and thought, maybe next
time.

There are many reasons
why families and individuals consider making charitable
donations. Whether part of an estate plan or simply the
desire to support worthy charities, many people use their
financial resources to promote the causes they care about
and to create a personal legacy that sustains individual
values and ideals. Yet despite a desire to give back to the
community and the world, it can be difficult to put
appropriate philanthropic processes in place. We can help
you and your family design a charitable giving program
that's uniquely suited to your financial circumstances,
family loyalties and social ideals.
