A Journey of Hope A MESSAGE FROM EAGLE RANCH FOUNDER EDDIE STAUB One of our great desires for the boys and girls who live at Eagle Ranch is that they will be people of hope. No matter how daunting current circumstances, we want them to believe hope is waiting on the horizon. Just as the barrenness of winter recedes into new spring growth, so can our lives transition in such a way—consolation always follows desolation. I’m reminded of a great example in the Bible. When rebuilding the devastated walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah instructed the workers to have one hand on their sword to fend off opposition and with the other hand to build—to build a future full of hope for God’s people. There will always be those situations in our lives when we need to fend off difficulties, but there is also great opportunity to move toward the hope to which we’ve been called. At the time this annual report is being developed, we are still in the midst of a global pandemic. A natural approach to this crisis is to “circle the wagons,” but we want to be expectant of “God opportunities” to keep “building the walls” as we deal with the opposition of this health crisis. One of Eagle Ranch’s growth opportunities is the Wings Center (described in more detail in this issue), which will address an increasingly urgent need as mental health issues become one of the greatest challenges as a result of this health crisis. We are excited to expand our horizons to be part of bringing healing and hope to so many in our community and beyond. Thank you so much for partnering with us throughout our 35 years. Your support here has truly made a difference. God’s blessings to you. OUR MISSION Eagle Ranch helps make life better for children and their families, positively impacting communities for the glory of God.
