STAUB EAGLE RANCH, INC. Post Office Box 7200 Chestnut Mountain, GA 30502 t: 770.967.8500 · f: 770.967.3757 EagleRanch.org the eagle ranch mission Our Mission Eagle Ranch helps make life better for children and their families, positively impacting communities for the glory of God. Reflections Boys and girls come to Eagle Ranch from many backgrounds and struggles. Their personalities are just as varied. There are always a few children who particularly stand out, not always for the good. We often will see a child come to the Ranch and gain attention through poor choices and behaviors. Because of their charisma and commanding presence, they can negatively influence other children. I meet with these children not to reprimand them, but to speak about missed opportunity. I tell them that they can choose to direct their natural abilities to be a positive leader. The Bible has many passages about being an encouragement to others, such as 1 Corinthians 14:26, " . . . Let all things be done for building up.” The boys and girls who take this message to heart become powerful leaders during their time at the Ranch and well beyond. One such leader is a Spring graduate, Eli. As you’ll see, Eli has directed his influence in positive ways. He is one of our winners of The Second Mile Award, which is given to children who are selfless leaders. Thank you very much for your partnership with us as we serve these children and their families. Sincerely Edwin J. Staub Founder and Executive Director "I was a lightning rod when I first came here. I just wanted negative energy around me. I thought it was going to be more like a summer camp, and I wouldn't have to put in any work. But I had to put in a lot of work. Now, I think I'm more of a positive leader." Eli, 14, the hope homE Pictured with mother, Angela
