Plans for Asbury Home for Native Americans Underway Hearts are softened and stretched far and wide as individuals try desperateK to ministerto so many people who suffer physically, mentally, or economically. Several ministers and other concerned persons attended a meeting Saturday. January 15 at Prospect United Methodist Church to discuss plans to construct a group home in the Robeson county area that would be targeted to serve Native Americans who suffer from significant cognitive impairment. Dr. Virgil Daughtery, executive directorof Southeastern United Methodist Agency for Rehabilitation (SEMAR), conducted the meeting as he proposed to the group the purpose of the home and what it required. Considerations of the project included: that hopes of land would be acquired through gifts and efforts of the local community in cooperation and coordination with Asbury Homes, SEMAR, and SEJANAM - SouthI eastern Jurisdictional Agency for Native Americans, that different funding opportunities as community gifts and support, state grants, federal grants as well as private foundation gifts would be given to build and operate the home, and that the funds for operation ofthe group home would come through the local mental health agency and the home would be managed and administered by Asbury Homes. Phillip Brown, chairman of the board of Asbury Homes, expressed his concerns of the home and how its mission strongly assisted disadvantaged people. "We want to develop ministries for the handicapped and also help individuals' spiritual and growth development. Expressing the love of Christ Jesus is our mission," stated Mr. Brown as he feels that these individuals need to be tied to the local community.
