I met Bob and Betty King when my wife, Susie, and I were living
in Mexico, working at an orphanage with 120 children. The Kings
used to visit once a month, bringing gifts for the children and
encouragement for the workers.
On one occasion, we were praying for a car so we could take the
kids around Monterrey and do more for the children. What a surprise
when Bob and Betty gave us their green Ford station wagon!
Well, here's the kicker. You see, we thought they were just rich
Texans giving us one of their old beater vehicles from the back
forty. As it turned out, when we left Mexico the Kings opened
their modest home to us and to our surprise we learned that they
had given us their second car. Bob had begun taking the bus to
work!
To me, this kind of sacrifice speaks volumes.
Bob and Betty spent years singing and speaking at churches in
order to raise an interest in the needs of Mexico's orphaned and
forgotten children. Yet no matter how much they did, their hearts
urged them to do more. Ultimately, in 1986, they left ther jobs
and formed an organization called Hungry Kids International and
opened a new orphanage near the border called Casa Del Rey (House
of the King). The home opened on June 2, 1986, providing its dozens
of children with loving Christian care, medical attention and
food.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAGE is to introduce you to Bob and Betty
King. Their generosity made a difference in our lives at one of
its critical junctures. I know that if you want to be part of
something that will make a difference in a life,
becoming a supporter of Hungry Kids International will be a very
satisfying experience. The Kings are fully given to the children
they serve and lead.
