FROM THE PRESIDENT

The Heart of Texas Livestock Show is one of my favorite events each year because it gives me an opportunity to support the youth from our Boys Ranch as they showcase their animals and shop projects alongside students from area FFA programs. Methodist Children’s Home is always well-represented at livestock shows, and our youth and staff often do not receive the credit they deserve for the long hours they put in to prepare animals and projects for these contests.

I am especially proud of our youth and staff who consistently serve as positive ambassadors for the Boys Ranch during these events. Our Ranch staff often receives feedback from other FFA teachers who compliment our youth for their positive attitude and willingness to assist other contestants or staff who need help with animals or setting up for contests. I am grateful for staff members at the Boys Ranch and throughout our ministry who demonstrate a strong work ethic and caring spirit on a daily basis for our young people.

In the current issue of Sunshine, you can learn more about the Boys Ranch and the opportunities youth receive to connect to life on a ranch. In many cases, the Boys Ranch provides a variety of new challenges and first-time experiences for our youth. Through meaningful relationships with caring adults and participation in a variety of activities, youth connect to life at the Boys Ranch as they receive opportunities to learn, grow and develop into the young men God wants them to be.

Thank you for visiting our web site. If you need more information about the programs and services offered through this ministry, please don't hesitate to contact us.

For His Children,

Bobby Gilliam
