Our 16-year-old son has spent the last 13 months as a 'ranch boy'. He came into the program as rebellious, depressed and destructive. Over time, he has markedly improved his behavior and attitudes. I credit Flying H with consistently modeling Christ as Lord for the young men in their care. The ranch offers a healthy mix of study, work and recreation designed to teach respect and consequences for both good and bad behavior. Obviously, some boys respond better than others. The program has worked well for our family. No environment is perfect, and it was difficult to leave our son at a 'troubled youth ranch', but in retrospect it was the best thing for him. I especially admire the Christian staff missionaries that have loved and encouraged so many boys through difficult times in their lives. They have been such a blessing to our son, who is now being productive with his time and making good decisions about his future. read more
