Resident Life

Over a year ago, we brought you the story of Brody, who entered Youth-Reach from a string of placements since being adopted from China at age three. Here are the latest updates on his progress.

Boys at Youth-Reach work through things like leadership, commitment, identity and healing from past trauma and hurt. While it would be efficient in the short term to simply teach the boys how to do these things, what matters even more is teaching them why it is important to do so.

The holiday season brings both joy and emotional challenges for the boys in our care. Your support helps create a true sense of family at Christmas.

Two of the best words in the English language are Jesus and fun. Our Friday night Family Nights are just that—a time to enjoy fellowship and fun without compromise.

In February, the boys had the opportunity to join Kingdom Racing at MSR, a high-end carting experience in Brazoria County for a day of go-cart racing, swag and food.

Our Youth-Reach son, Jacob, recently graduated high school, is taking college classes and is a leader here in the home. Read more about the tremendous effect the Lord has had on this young man.

The Youth-Reach residents visited Dinosaur Valley State Park and the Creation Evidence Museum last month. Located in Glen Rose, TX, Dinosaur Valley State Park has some of the most well-preserved fossils in the state.

The boys recently visited The Health Museum in Houston, where they had the opportunity to suture lacerations and dissect a sheep heart! They also learned about the effects drugs have on the brain (which included viewing a real human brain).

So many people came together to help us make this Christmas memorable for the kids of Youth-Reach, and we are so grateful!
