Who are We...
In the beginning...
...one man made a difference.

In 1951 Ray McDonald, who had attended Moody Bible Institute and spent hours working with men from the Glad Tidings Mission in Chicago, inherited his father's 110 acre farm in Wheatfield, Indiana.

The Glad Tidings Mission in Chicago

He gave the property to the Glad Tidings Mission to rehabilitate vagrant men. When this idea did not work out, it was decided to use the property to develop a home for youth.
