The Manuelito Navajo Children's Home was born out the desire to share the Gospel of Christ with the Navajo people. In fact, we began as a preaching mission with a series of meetings held at Manuelito, New Mexico back in the 1950's. Many Navajos came to these meetings and heard the Gospel preached. However, something began to happen: families would come, the parents would return home, having left their children behind. These parents decided that the missionaries could care for their children and provide them a good home, something the parents were unable to do. Thus, a preaching mission became a children's home . . . almost overnight. We are still doing our best to providing a home for children in need, and ministering to families who are in crisis, but the mission of sharing the Gospel with the Navajo people remains at the heart of what we do.
