Manuelito Navajo Children’s Home
Manuelito Navajo Children's Home was not started as a children’s home, but as a preaching mission to the Navajo people. The mission work was overseen by a congregation in Albuquerque, NM and later by one in Farmington, NM. Both of these congregations, being approximately 150 miles away, felt they could not properly oversee this work so in 1959 the church in Gallup was asked to take responsibility for this work. The missionaries at Manuelito, a small community 18 miles west of Gallup, were already caring for children who were left with them by families that could not care for them. It also seemed the adult Navajos were not accepting the gospel, so the decision was made to turn the major emphasis of the work to childcare. The reasons were two-fold. First there was a great need to provide for the many homeless children in the area. Second, through bringing these children up in “the nurture and admonition of the Lord” there would be a greater opportunity to reach the adult Navajo with the gospel.
