"Every single aspect of Heatlight - the grounds, programming, parent and family events, staff, educatsion provisions, and resources for parents - is professionally and compassionately offered. We are grateful to God and His ministry offered through Mark and the staff at Heatlight."

"What makes this place really special is the tremendous amount of support and love that you feel in all the people here. It's in the faces of the young people who live with the kids. It's in the faces of the counselors, the administrators - they're all a part of this. It's a huge family and they do much to make you feel welcome into it as well."

A relational atmosphere that creates an arena for change is made possible only because of the dedication and commitment of the staff that are involved in the lives of teens.
