Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power... For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms...
We wish that once a child arrives in our arms they would immediately experience security and emotional and spiritual healing. But that’s not the case. A battle rages inside them, and we need prayers for the warfare faced in the minds of our children each day.
PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR CHILDREN
• To accept the love of Christ
• To see who they are in Christ
• To accept themselves as lovable and valuable
• To be willing to forgive
• To be free from fear and addiction
• To know they have a purpose
PRAY FOR THEIR FAMILIES
• Those who have made the tough decision to seek care for their child
• Those who have made decisions that have caused others to seek care for their child
PRAY FOR VICTORY OVER DARKNESS
PRAY FOR US
• For hearts of compassion and eyes of Christ
• For voices to speak truth, light and life
• For strength and courage
• For wisdom and understanding.

BE A VOICE
Our greatest asset is the Panhandle community, but we need voices out there telling others what we’re up to. You could be that voice.
The Amarillo Children’s Home operates using 5 statements to accomplish our mission to restore the identity of kids so they will understand their great value and be a blessing to others. These statements are:
We Believe, We Risk, We Fight, We Explore, and We do.
One of the unique values of Amarillo Children’s home is our commitment to explore. By keeping our census around 45 kids we can commit to “figure out” the unique gifting of our kids. We naturally know that all kids are not built the same nor do the same things inspire them. From sports to music to dance and camping the interests of kids can be endless. Equally endless is the spark of a child’s imagination that can lead to curiosity and life changing direction. These small sparks often turn into hobbies or even careers. Finding these sparks and fanning their flame is a noble cause that results in life lessons like work ethic, creative power, and aptitude. These sparks teach kids that they were uniquely created for distinctive purposes.
We at The Amarillo Children’s Home have a
programmatic approach to engage kids to find their interests and natural
talents. This program is called the
SPARK’s” program. The foremost element
of the program is relationship. It
requires the hard work of an adult reaching into the life of a child and
helping them become who they were created to be. The kids at ACH are greater than their past
because they are engaged by their community to find the spark of who they can
become. This program could not exist without
the generous community of Amarillo providing sponsorship and the gift of these
sparks in the lives of great kids. To
see how you could become more involved with this life changing program please call 806-352-5771!
Come get a tour, scour our website, friend us on Facebook, learn all you can and share our story. There’s a lot to talk about!

I saw what was happening at The Children’s Home, and I wanted to be a part of it.
All of us have a responsibility to help people who are, for one reason or another, without.
The Children's Home enables Amarillo to do just that. It gives children a homelike environment - allowing them to grow up in a good family - and gives the Amarillo community an opportunity to meet the obligation it has to care for it's people.
We had this sweet, sweet experience, then said, “OK. What now? We want to see these girls again.”...
The Children’s Home is small and flexible enough people can easily bring their gifts and talents and be involved in ways that are in line with their passions. Kids just need to be loved on.
