Our Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God.  We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his death on the cross, in his body resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the father, and in his personal return.  We believe people receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life through a relationship with Jesus.

our vision

We are a non denominational Christian Ministry to troubled youth.  We are located on an 86 acre farm in Eastern Ohio since 1995.

Horseback riding

We are a donation based Christian outreach.  We do not receive any government funding for the work we do with the boys. This enables us to put Jesus first in all of our ministry.

We are able to take boys based on their need to come. There is no fee for the service we provide to their families. 

We believe the Lord has provided a manual for raising children, the BIBLE.  God’s word contains instruction on how to live our lives.  It also provides a way to return to Him and His ways once we have strayed.
  

Mission Statement

To allow the love and salvation of Jesus Christ to be applied to young lives through the Y.W.A.P. program and its human facilitators.  It is our desire to see the redemptive work of Christ help give direction, purpose and motivation to many willing boys to serve God, become productive men, and good husbands and fathers.
