Navajoland… It’s a place of beauty where flat deserts are interrupted with rugged rock formations and forested mountains. Its home to the Navajo, the largest nation of Native Americans in America. It also became home to Jim and Kay Baker in 1975 when they responded to God’s call to become houseparents to Navajo boys and girls.
Caring for nearly three dozen youngsters over fifteen years, there were times when they really were a “Bakers’ Dozen!” As you read their story you will soon realize that this is God’s story lived out in their lives.
Through their adventures you will also discover the beauty and the strong character of the Navajo people. You will get a front row seat of what life as a houseparent is like and how God can use anyone to do His work if they are willing to respond to His calling in their lives.
The Baker’s story could just as easily be your story. As you follow their journey of faith you most likely will discover that God has an adventure for you to experience, too!
