About The Home of Family Warmth
 

Established in 1995 by beginning in foster parent training, we are a Christian Home dedicated to providing a stable, Christian environment with unconditional love for young girls who, for one reason or another, cannot live with their parents our guardians.

Most of our girls have had traumatic experiences in their young life and desire healing from the ravages of physical or mental abuse, rape, incest, abandonment, mutilation, molestation, cults, drugs or alcohol; some are suffering the strongholds of insolence, discipline or disrespect.

Our home has no maximum time limit and the girls may stay with us for as long as they need and desire to and we have space available. While we have no limit we do, however, require a minimum stay of eighteen (18) months.

We manage our home as a business by a Court approved Managing Conservator Agreement and while our Home has no charge for the girl's stay other than modest educational costs, the Court may require monthly child support based upon each family's income and expenses. In view of the nature of our ministry, a reduced tuition is charged by the Christian school. We are not funded by any government entity, which allows Jesus Christ to be present as the Healer to our girls. Therefore we rely on God's provisions for our needs through donations from caring individuals, churches, foundations and corporations.

We operate the Home on 3 beautifully wooded acres in the Post Oak Savannah in eastern Guadalupe County with space to add another home, advancing our Vision to operate several homes on about 20 acres staffed with Christian, God-given parents.

We desire to immerse our girls in Christianity, thereby allowing God's healing grace to minister to them. We enroll the girls into a Christian School for their formal educational needs as we believe that the girls have experienced too much of life and would fall into harmful influences at a public school. For those girls who show the aptitude and desire to attend a college or university for further educational studies and/or athletic competition, we have been able to provide full or partial scholarships through individuals and organizations.

We offer counseling through a Christian counselor. All our girls are encouraged to attend counseling sessions when they first arrive and frequently thereafter as the need arises. Because of the trauma they have experienced and the habits they have developed, the girls have developed countless strongholds that will continue to hinder their ability to form lasting relationships, mental stability and a sense of self worth and confidence.

Recreation and sports contribute to the physical development of the girls. The girls we serve usually come from families or facilities where physical nurturing and developmental activities are lacking and diet is usually poor. Physical development is part of our overall strategy. It allows for discovery of and development of the individual person. Our girls begin to encounter what their abilities are as well as their limitations. Through the strategy including roller-blading, volleyball, basketball, cheerleading, bowling, etc., they gain strength, self-accomplishment and confidence development. Additionally they develop a sense of competency and camaraderie with others on a team.

As we continue to grow we will staff our homes with like-minded Christian families in each home. These families will have a special calling to this ministry and a real burden for our girls. Each family will be responsible for their finances just as we and most other missionaries.

We believe that our home provides a unique ministry to young girls throughout Texas and America. It is meeting the ever increasing need in today’s society for a Christian home environment to deal with the very real problem of abuse and its effect on the lives of young girls.

We Believe

We, as a Christian home consider as true that our catalyst to love and protect young girls is derived from our adherence to and belief in God's Word as stated below:
I.   We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
II.   We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
III.   We believe that God is the Creator of life and therefore strives to preserve and not destroy the sanctity of born and unborn human life.
IV.   We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His fully human but sinless life; His ministry of reconciliation and forgiveness; His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the Father; and His personal return.
V.   We believe that salvation of lost and sinful humanity is only through God's grace and man's faith in the atoning power of the blood Jesus Christ.
VI.   We believe in an eternal life which includes an eternal heaven and eternal hell.
VII.   We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling Christians are enabled to live godly lives individually and corporately.
VIII.   We believe in spiritual unity of all believers through our Lord Jesus Christ who together provide a caring community and a corporate witness of faith in Him.
