In February of 2008, we relocated the Children’s Home from its site in New Orleans to a temporary facility in Mandeville, which we are currently leasing from the state of Louisiana.  This relocation has bought us some time, however within the next few years we must locate a site and construct a permanent Home for the children being cared for.  Terrel J. DeVille, President and CEO of LUMCFS, says,

“When Dr. Reed called to inform me that the Pennsylvania Conference had elected to conduct a financial campaign to make major improvements on the campus of the Children’s Home located in Mechanicsburg, and that they would designate a portion of the Campaign to assist us with the relocation of the New Orleans facility, I have to admit it almost overwhelmed me.”

Mr. DeVille complimented Dr. Reed with the following quote:

“What a servant leadership the Central Pennsylvania Conference has. What a commitment to ministry your membership is demonstrating. We of the LA Annual Conference and the LA Methodist Children’s Home covet our relationship with you and with our sister agency in children, youth and family ministry. Anything we can do to make your effort successful, we are here to serve. May God’s blessings be with all his children throughout the world.”
