Who is Desert Ministries?  
          We are a Christian  organization dedicated to serving the frail elderly living in nursing homes. Many of them suffer from severe depression brought on by feelings of abandonment and loneliness. They are at the mercy of an industry in crisis.  Now when they need help the most, there is no one there for them. We recruit and train people to be "family" and advocates for them.  We serve them regardless of their religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
