renie45-ga,

Quite possibly, there's a good deal of information available on His
for Eternity Ministries -- perhaps there are newspaper articles and
legal filings in addition to the info you asked about.

However, I doubt that **everything** you asked for is readily
available.  For instance, there are no requirements that I know of for
an organization to make the minutes of its meetings publicly
available.

I'd be happy to find what ever information IS available, and point you
to it as an answer to your question.  Would that meet your needs?

But if you absolutely must have everything you listed -- such as the
minutes --I probably won't be able to provide an answer, and I rather
doubt that anyone could.

Let me know what you think.

Mission and Programs [NOTE -- Even though this is the mission
statement for His for Eternity Ministries, the text refers to "Gabriel
House", which presumably is the name of their primary oepration in
Mexico]:

Gabriel House grew out of the need in Mexico, For a program to help
the severely handicapped children that were trapped in very poor
families to have a center that would provide them with the necessary
means to live as dignified a life as possible. The children that live
in Gabriel House have every need that they have met, that is
physically possible for our center to provide...


...Gabriel House provides two teachers that teach 18 children from
very wide learning capabilities. We provide very specific needed
medicines for 9 of the children in our care. We have to pay for
hospitalization when ever it is needed. We feed 22 children and 14
staff, three meals a day. We are currently renting a facility, but
would like to buy a facility for the children. Our association is in
the children's names. It is registered with the Government of Mexico
and has full legal right to own property. We provide diapers for 19 of
our 22 children. Gabriel house has taken on the responsibility to
completely raise and fund 22 handicapped children.

...Our home has gotten national recognition, both in the U S and
Mexico. Fox News did a documentory on our home in November of 2000.
The National Newspaper of Mexico did a front page article on our home
in 1998.
We have found some of our children in horrible conditions. One of our
boys was locked in an animal cage for 7 years. 4 of our girls who are
completely helpless, due to muscular disease, have been sexually
assaulted. the plight of these type children in the third world is
extremely dangerous we need help to make a difference...

Comments from the organization
Our income was so small for the first 5 years that we only had to
submit a letter of earnings to the IRS. They required nothing else.
This passed year since we have become a lisensed
Home in Mexico, our need has grown considerably and we are having to
report much higher levels of income to the IRS....
