SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 803
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize STCH Ministries on the occasion of the organization's
65th anniversary; and
WHEREAS, STCH Ministries was founded in 1952 under the
leadership of Laura Boothe and the Reverend Jess Lunsford;
originally known as the South Texas Children's Home, this
outstanding nonprofit organization has through the years created
a culture in which the needs of families are seen and met in
creative and innovative ways; and
WHEREAS, STCH Ministries continues to provide loving,
compassionate homes for children in need, but it has expanded its
offerings to include such services as family counseling, homes
for single mothers and their children, an international
ministry, money management and job training, support for pastors
and their families, and ministry consulting services to help
other organizations better assist their clients; and
WHEREAS, STCH Ministries has also created two entities to
help itself remain financially able to continue providing its
services, the South Texas Children's Home financial branch and
South Texas Children's Home Land Management; and
WHEREAS, STCH Ministries has had a profound impact on the
lives of children and families in need for 65 years, and the
organization is truly deserving of special recognition as it
achieves this milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby commend the leadership and staff of STCH
Ministries on their commitment to serving others, and extend to
them best wishes for a memorable 65th anniversary celebration;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
this exemplary organization as an expression of esteem from the
Texas Senate.
