Social
Accountability anyway?
anyway?
What is
Social Accountability
(renamed Community Responsiveness
lately) has been thriving at Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home longer than
documentation indicates. This activity of serving needy and under-served individuals
and families within the community in addition to those whom this organization
actually serves has been ongoing since the institution itself was conceived over 100
years ago. In 2001, however, a “make-a-difference” group of higher level youth was
formed to perform projects with the Recreation Department to provide these youth
the opportunity to give to others-less fortunate than themselves. This group quickly
involved other staff who had been participating in such activities on their own time.
A Social Accountability Committee, headed by Rev. Mickey Stringfield, was formed to
coordinate and document these activities for accreditation purposes. These activities
include nursing home visits, filling Easter baskets for children of parents who are
incarcerated, planning and conducting Mardi Gras parades at a local rehabilitation
facility, etc. This combined effort of our staff and children attempts to teach the young
people what a joy it is to serve others. (Continued on page 2)

Being the recipient
of a Social
Accountability project is quite pleasant, also. Louisiana
Methodist Children’s Home was presented with the first of
three dollhouses, made by the vocational students at the
Swanson Center for Youth. The purpose in this project,
which also includes the making of rocking horses, is to
give to needy children for Christmas. The doll house was
designed by Almoine Powell and, with a team of helpers,
the intricate details were fashioned. The wooden dollhouse
is champagne with blue trim. The dollhouses will be
used in various programs at the Ruston Home. The first
dollhouse will adorn the “play therapy” room of the Family
Counseling Center. The others will be used by the therapists
for role-playing and modeling activities.

It is often easy
to look the other way when
we are bombarded with images of people in need. Sometimes,
however, someone doesn’t turn away but rather looks at the
situation and wonders what he or she might do to help. Such
was the case recently with one of our employees at the Methodist
Children’s Home. One of the youth with whom she worked would
soon be turning of age and returning home to live with his family.
They had explored a number of possibilities for his future in order
to help him prepare for adulthood. However, he had chosen to
return home to help take care of his mother, who is disabled. The
therapist had observed on home visits that the family house was
in dire need of repair. As a matter of fact, there were so many
problems that it was somewhat overwhelming. This need stayed
on her heart, and the desire to do something about it continued
to grow. After spending a considerable amount of time assessing
and prioritizing the needs, a plan was made to begin renovations.
A team of volunteers was gathered, and the projects were attacked
with considerable determination. Rooms were painted, cabinets
were cleaned, floors were replaced, the roof was patched, the
outside was scraped and painted, and many other projects were
completed. Much was done in the course of a single day, while
staff members continued to give their personal time to continue
the work. A sense of satisfaction was evident on the faces of
all of the volunteers as they made progress toward their goals
and began to see the transformation taking place. This is an
example of a “social accountability project” that employees of the
Children’s Home have engaged in, in an effort to give back to the
community.

Who cooks Christmas
Dinner at the Children’s Home?
For the FIFTH year, Chef Ronell

shared his sweet spirit and love
for cooking with our children on
Christmas Day.
He donates his time and talent to
give our dietary staff a day off-AS WELL AS treat our children
to a traditional meal with all
the trimmings. Thank you,

President's Message
By Terrel J. DeVille, President/CEO LMCH
What an interesting year
2005
has been! As it comes to an end and we have
completed our annual Christmas activities, I
am compelled to reflect on this year. In my
message, which was posted back in late June,
I reported on numerous accomplishments that
we were able to achieve up to that period.
Among those were the new Equine Therapy
program, the ongoing construction of a Bunk
House and a Human Maze at the OWL Center, and the expansion
of the Family Plus Services. Little did I know that the second
half of 2005 would present us with such great challenges and
opportunities to be met.
It was on Sunday, August 28, that a total of 36 children and
12 staff were evacuated from the Methodist Home for Children
in New Orleans and brought to our campus due to Hurricane
Katrina. They brought enough clothing and supplies to remain
a few days. They are still with us and are very much a part
of our family now, and we all enjoyed one big Christmas
Celebration, thanks to our many donor friends..
Tentative plans for their return to the campus in New Orleans
is late January, 2006. Since their arrival, the logistical and
financial challenges have been great. However the response
on behalf of “Great” Good Samaritans has been even greater.
Without everyone’s help from private and corporate donors,
churches, foundations, other non-profit agencies, and some
of our sister child, youth and family agencies of the United
Methodist Association, we could not have responded to the
needs required to provide quality care to these displaced children
and their care givers. In a separate document we will publish a
list of everyone who contributed to a total, which now amounts
to $503,429.21. In addition many items such as food, clothing,
school supplies, and much, much more enabled us to address
ALL the needs to date.
President's Message
By Keith Rhodes, President/CEO, Methodist Home-New Orleans
After being in New Orleans for 5
½ years as the CEO of the Methodist Home for
Children, I thought I had seen and experienced
EVERYTHING! My colleagues around the
country have all been aware of our struggles
and the progress that we had made in many
areas of our ministry. AND THEN THERE WAS
KATRINA!
I was not prepared for this disaster, and nothing in my job
description made any reference to responding to an event of this
magnitude. However, it is my responsibility to ensure that ALL
our children remain safe and nurtured at all times and that they
see Jesus’ work through me.
I cannot express how grateful I am to the Louisiana Methodist
Children’s Home’ staff and residents for their kindness and

We feel confident that the return of the New Orleans Home’s
children and staff to their own home campus will be a successful
one. As a result of this experience, our two agencies relationship
has been changed in a very positive way-into a long-lasting
partnership. This partnership may become permanent as a
study is underway to possibly assimilate the services provided
by the Home in New Orleans with the services being provided by
the Children’s Home located at the Ruston Campus.
Should this assimilation occur, it would allow for a
comprehensive and united ministry on behalf of the Louisiana
Annual Conference of the United Methodist church to children,
youth, and families throughout the state of Louisiana.
And, by the way, Hurricane Rita also offered us additional
challenges and opportunities during this interesting year. We
were very fortunate that only shingles were damaged on some
of our buildings. However, it was a second shock to our State’s
economy. Many programs for children and youth have been
severely curtailed and some even terminated. All the more
reason why our Good Samaritans mentioned earlier have been
so important not just to our two Homes, but also to children
and families throughout the state of Louisiana.
My prayer is that we continue to focus on God’s will-that we
always apply the teachings of Jesus Christ to accomplish our
mission. As Christ brings hope and healing to each individual,
we pray that will happen for all who have experienced upheaval
and change this past year. We seek to introduce each individual
that we care for to a reconciling love, which is a gift from God.
God’s Blessings to everyone who has made it possible for us to
help His children to come home to Him for Christmas.
Yours in Christ,
Terrel DeVille
President/CEO
generosity. This dilemma has been extremely difficult for our
children and staff, but I cringe at the thought of NOT having a
sister agency for refuge. The response to the Hurricane Relief
Fund (Children’s Special Fund) is another example of God at
work, and I thank each of you for your dedication in putting
“hands and feet” to God’s work for the children in Louisiana.
As we prepare to return to New Orleans, please pray for our
organization and the study to create a united ministry, which
is currently underway. There is nothing more important than
changing the life of a hurting child. With the Ruston Home’sand YOUR-support, our ministry can ensure that this mission
continues to happen in south Louisiana.
May God’s blessings be upon you and your family.

Thanks To ALL For Sharing!
The following is a list of the individuals, organizations, agencies, churches, civic clubs,
etc. who opened their hearts and “pocket books” to help Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home as it
welcomed the evacuated children and staff of the Methodist Home for Children, New Orleans. So
many of you have contributed your talents in organizing drives in our behalf. Christmas was a
joyous celebration for both Homes through the outpouring of gifts and love for the children. We
could not have “weathered this storm” without each one of you. We thank you from the bottom of
our collective hearts.

My Dear Sisters &
Brothers in Christ,
By Ella and Freddie Doyle
This has been some kind of year for me
and my husband. We lost our home and
all contents, our business; and my husband
and I were in 8 feet of water for 8 days, no
food or water. We had only the wet clothes
we had on. When the water went down,
my two sons took us out, and we found dry
shelter. But God is good. He watched over
us and kept us alive. We live in a trailer
now across the street from our house. Our
house has to be demolished. But God has
a better one for us. All we have to do is
wait and watch, and the plan of God will
come forth. Thank you so much for your
prayers.
NOTE: Mrs. Doyle is a former Board member
of LMCH, living in Slidell.

Each year Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home celebrates the
harvest season with a Fall Festival. It is a chance for the children to
enjoy a different type of activity in the beautiful setting at the Outdoor
Wilderness Learning (OWL) Center. The Recreation Department, directed
by DeNeise Barlow, coordinates the activities with OWL Activities
Director Kim Ratcliff to provide a carnival-like event one afternoon in
late October for not only the young people, but also the LMCH staff
and their families. This year was an even larger challenge with the
addition of our New Orleans children. But the gracious sponsors and
LMCH staff did not falter one step. Volunteers came from Louisiana
Tech’s Baseball Team, Circle K Club, and Kappa Sigma fraternity. The
tasty food was provided by the Smurfit-Stone crew, headed by Mr.
James Bradford, a long-time friend of the Home. The aviation students
and Louisiana Tech professor Gary Odom afforded our young people
the opportunity to see the workings of a hot air balloon. We hope you,
our readers, can imagine the fun from this collage of pictures.

The blasts of the burner called everyone's
attention to the balloon and its vivid colors.
The Family Plus Program
During the Christmas season, the Recreational
has been selected to receive a grant from the
Polk Foundation. This Foundation was formed
in 1993 by Judy Polk King, daughter of the late
Herbert L. and Elizabeth V. Polk. The stated
purpose is “to support those organizations that
help people help themselves.” Louisiana Methodist
Children’s Home met this criteria and employ the
funds in its Family Plus Program, which has offices in
Monroe, Shreveport, Ruston, Baton Rouge, and a new
office in Alexandria.
Therapy groups all participated in making gingerbread houses
from kits. The youth were divided into small teams with each
team having to develop a plan for its house first. Only then could
the members proceed with the fun-putting the houses together by
following directions and then, THE DECORATING! Making the icing
for snow was quite challenging because the consistency had to be
“just right.” Another challenge was to resist eating the candy that
was designated to decorate the houses. This activity promoted many
goals of recreational therapy: working
as a team,
getting along with others, listening to
directions, following directions, dealing
with frustrations, being creative, and
sharing the feelings of accomplishment.
Our hope is that this experience and its
benefits may be mirrored in the lives
of these young people as they re-join
their families.
Ruston mourned the passing last fall of one of its “pillars
Santa’s Bootboxes,
a
modification to the annual Social
Accountability holiday gift project,
was a tremendous success. For several
years, the children and staff have filled
shoeboxes to send internationally through
the Operation Christmas Child program.
Because of the tragic circumstances caused by Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita in our own state, the program focused this year on our neighbors,
friends, and families who were impacted by the storms. Two notable
changes were obvious: fewer, but larger gifts, and the inclusion of
household items in the gift boxes. The “upsized” boxes were dedicated
as part of the annual Thanksgiving chapel service prior to the “family”
meal where staff, their families, and our LMCH youth sit down to an
old-fashioned holiday gathering.

Welcome,
David Durbin to the Family Plus
team! A new counseling service, now being offered
to families and individuals in need of help in the
central Louisiana area, has recently opened with an
office at the Pineville First United Methodist Church.
David Durbin, LCSW, provides individual and family
counseling at this location on a sliding-fee basis.
All citizens of central Louisiana are welcome to
participate.

This Christmas,
LMCH
was privileged to be the recipient of a
fundraising idea fostered by the Louisiana
Tech Band of Pride members. The idea of a
flag football game with the guys against
the girls was precipitated by the fellows
in Phi Buda Ruda. However, the girls in
Tau Beta Sigma had a superior intramural
record to their male counterparts. Much
teasing took place before the event with
the girls touted as anticipating an “easy
win.” Even though the guys prospered in
the end, the good-natured ribbing led to a
worthy cause-likely to become an annual
event. We thank the members of Phi Buda Ruda, Tau Beta Sigma, and
other Band of Pride members who helped make our Christmas more
joyful with their gift of love.
Jane Ellen Boothe, Office Coordinator for the Public Relations, Development, and
Marketing Department of LMCH accepts the Christmas check from the Louisiana
Tech Band of Pride's fundraising effort from Errin Combest (center) representing
Tau Beta Sigma and Kyle Kavanaugh (right) representing Phi Buda Ruda.
Christmas also came
to the
OWL (Outdoor Wilderness Learning) Center,
IN A BIG WAY! With over one hundred
young people utilizing the Center on a
rotating basis, there is always a need for
more equipment. Our fleet of mountain
bikes had been depleted in the past few
months, so “Santa Claus” in the personage
of Mr. Stephen Shirley was a very welcome
sight as he delivered 20 mountain bikes for
use at the Center. In addition, “Santa Steve”
also took care of the mobility needs of our
residential houses by providing twenty scooters as

We of the staff
of
Louisiana Methodist Children’s
Home want our readers to know
that we count it a privilege to
work in this ministry-and never
is that more true than during the
Christmas season. There is such an
outpouring of love for our children
at that time with house parties, gifts
galore, and invitations to holiday
gatherings. The charm of it for
each of us is that we get to see JOY MAGNIFIED in over
100 faces-THIS YEAR, nearly 140 pairs of eyes glistening and mouths
exclaiming delight. Thank you to all who participate in sponsoring our
children through the opportunities of this ministry.
Hodge UMC sponsored a wonderful holiday
opportunity for our upper level youth. Mrs.
Billie Adams (standing next to the tree)
coordinated a hot dog supper with all the
trimmings. Pastors Bill and Letty Strawbridge
satisfied our young people's curiosity
about the symbols on the church's tree by
explaining the significance of each. A tour of
the beautiful Christmas lights in Jonesboro
capped a perfect evening.
Lynn Clark representing the Ed Stinson Class,
First UMC, West Monroe, delivers mountain bikes for our children. This faithful
class (donors to the home for almost two decades) has considered this their
Christmas gift for the past four years.
The Louisiana Tech Football
players and Director of Athletics Jim Oakes
presented our CAB youth with plush beanie bears
as part of their Christmas project. Lori Hamilton
(a friend of LMCH from Lewis’ and Co., now in
the Tech Athletic Office) arranged the details of
the event. The remaining campus residents received their bears before
their house Christmas parties. Thank you, Tech Friends, for making our
holiday happy.
Byrum Teekell, past chairperson of the Board of Directors and devoted supporter of this ministry for over
fourteen years, was honored in mid-November by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, North Louisiana Chapter,
as its Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year 2005. Mr. Teekell and his family were honored during the National
Philanthropy Day luncheon in Shreveport, LA. Mr. Teekell led a number of firsts for Methodist Children’s Home: a
Major Gifts campaign in the 90’s and a Capital Campaign following 9/11, to name two. He has been instrumental
in introducing major donors and corporations to our ministry, as well as supporting us through his own resources.
Congratulations, Mr. Teekell!. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!

The Giving
Two hundred thirty-three
backpacks arrived on the campus of Louisiana Methodist
Children’s Home Tuesday, October 18, the result of the vision of
a 16-year-old high school student in Auburn, Washington. This
young lady, spurred by the news of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
and their displacement of thousands of people, pondered how she
could help. A normal shopping trip in her home town gave her
the answer. The store had backpacks on clearance for $1 each.
She asked how many they had and was told 200. Without a
second thought about how she was to pay for them, she said, “I’ll
take ‘em.” Envisioning how she would feel if she had to leave her
home with only a few belongings and could not return to it, she
wanted to help the hundreds of children in this situation. Her
labor of love, now known as Backpacks of Hope, ballooned into
a huge undertaking to distribute the backpacks filled with stuffed
animals, school supplies, journals, etc. to the young victims of
the hurricanes along the Gulf Coast. Her only obstacle was the
transporting of the backpacks to Louisiana.
Through family ties at a Seattle radio station, Open Door Missions
was contacted for advice on the possible recipients for the
backpacks. This non-government organization with an office in
Monroe, suggested LMCH since the Ruston agency was housing
evacuees from the Methodist Home for Children, New Orleans.

the Ruston congregaton, worships at the civic-minded Chicago
church. Under Rev. Murad’s direction, the Lake View church
collected 32 boxes of relief items, much of which was attractively
packaged in age-appropriate backpacks and shipped to Ruston.
Mrs. Murad and members of the Ruston congregation then
fulfilled the mission by delivering the shipment. Our thanks to the
willingness of both these congregations to share in a joint mission
for Christian brotherhood.

Wanda Windsor of the

and their wish to help the “doubling up” effort at Louisiana
Methodist Children’s Home following Hurricane Katrina. After
reading about the storm and its effects, the children wanted to
contribute their “sparrow

They
call
it “sparrow change”

what it can to help. These
coins, which they had

portion of this fundraising effort. LMCH’s friend, Rick Hohlt,

Children’s Home in Urbana,

our children via Rev. Mickey Stringfield, LMCH’s chaplain. This

messages of encouragement and hope and the names of those
committed to this worthy cause. A very generous monetary gift
from various fundraisers also accompanied the prayer chain. We

Hall's 'Marks

I was talking with Polly Evans, in
Independence, LA, about the devastation and
now re-building of New Orleans. Ms. Polly
expressed concern about the structure of the
levees. “Well, you know,” she stated, “you
can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear.”
Ms. Polly noticed the puzzled look on my
face. “Certainly you’ve heard that before,”
she commented. I took a shot in the dark:
“Some kind of a cow story?”
“No! A sow is a pig!” Ms. Polly laughed. “You’re not really
from Thibodaux, are you?” I admitted that I had grown up as
a “city boy” in California.
Continuing our discussion, Ms. Polly went on: “Your visit
means a lot to me. I’ve contributed to several mission
programs throughout the years, but the Methodist Children’s
Home is the only one that’s come out to see me to say ‘thank
you.’” Ms. Polly added that she appreciated hearing how our
children are experiencing God’s love, and how the work being
done at the Home is making an impact in our communities
throughout the state-one child at a time. Ms. Polly’s witness
was a blessing to me, and I left feeling inspired.
Despite the turmoil from hurricane-ravaged areas all around
us, the Home continues to receive a remarkable outpouring
of support from our friends in south Louisiana. Many of the
gifts donated in recent months were from individuals who have
experienced significant losses themselves from Katrina and Rita.

For example, Mary Louise Nix in Mandeville, heard about the
37 children from the New Orleans Methodist Children’s Home
who had evacuated to our Home in Ruston. As the holidays
approached, she coordinated donations from individuals and
businesses throughout the North Shore, explaining that “we
wanted to make sure displaced children from our area had
their own, special Christmas presents.” This caring group
put together individual gift bags for each child who had been
relocated from New Orleans and made sure that these gifts
arrived in Ruston on time for our Christmas celebration.
Yet another example of an exceptional gift comes from a couple
who wishes to remain anonymous. Recently they arranged
for part of their estate to be dedicated to our children. After
their deaths, half of the proceeds from the sale of their home
will go to their church. The other half will be directed to the
Endowment Fund of the Methodist Children’s Home. “We have
been blessed,” the couple maintained. “We have been making
contributions to the Methodist Children’s Home for many
years now, and we want to help assure that the Home will be
able to continue its ministry long after we are gone.”
We are grateful for all of the many ways you, our friends and
supporters, continue to be a blessing to our children.

Congratulations, Stormy!
The NFL
has sponsored the Punt, Pass, and Kick
Program for several years. This year, over 3.5 million kids (ages 815) participated. Nine of our own LMCH young people competed
in the regional, with three making it to the sectional competition.
The scores from the sectionals are compared against others in LA,
MS, AL, and parts of FL and GA. The top five scorers are invited to
the Saints Team Competition, and we are proud to announce that
one of our female youth, Stormy Jones, made the cut. Stormy
was invited to compete before the Saints game at LSU Stadium on
December 18th. She received a New Orleans Saints Punt, Pass and
Kick Jersey, sweat pants, and hat. Stormy, along with the other
40 participants were served lunch and announced during halftime
of the game. She received a plaque for her FOURTH place overall
finish in her division. Congratulations, Stormy! LMCH is so proud
of you.
Stormy shows off her Punt, Pass and Kick plaque, and her LMCH
coaches, Missy Spicer (L) and Scott Kelley, are nearly bursting with
pride.
