I once heard someone say, “We are a storied people.” That is so true! Stories resonate with us in that stories are the most powerful means of communication.
For someone to tell you their story is a high honor. There is an implicit vulnerability in sharing our journey with all its smooth and rough places.
Unfortunately, our natural tendency is to not share our story or to embellish it to such an extent that it’s almost unrecognizable from who we truly are.
I have tremendous respect for the children who come here and who courageously share their story with us in the hopes that, through this sharing, healing can begin in their lives.
God’s blessings to you and your family in this new year.
Sincerely,
Edwin J. StaubExecutive Director

Our MissionEagle Ranch provides a Christ-centered home for boys and girls in crisis and in need of hope and healing. Partnering with their families, we pursue family restoration and reunification. We seek to influence and equip others who share a similar calling to impact children, families, and future generations.
“And let us consider how we may spur one
another on toward love and good deeds.”
Hebrews 10:24
Lifelong Influence
“We were in our early 20s, and the Ranch was in its formative years. Little did we know how difficult or rewarding having seven boys live with us in a real home, full-time, would be all at once,” said Scott.
“I noticed a change in Karen as we persevered. During her first year as a housemom, she shed many tears, but those tears were slowly cementing in her spirit and manifested into a strength that she carried throughout the rest of her life.”
Being a houseparent at Eagle Ranch is no easy job.
With as many as seven children in your home, in
addition to your own children, the task requires
monumental parenting skills. Any houseparent will tell
you that the position both tests and builds your patience,
strength, perseverance and generosity.
When young newlyweds Karen and Scott Smith signed on
as houseparents in late 1985, they had no idea the
experience would help them through challenges far greater
than managing seven boys and their own three children.
More than 20 years after serving six years as Eagle Ranch houseparents – three years in the Hope Home and thee years in the Faith Home – Karen was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
Scott credits the character and qualities Karen built during her time at the Ranch with Karen’s ability to exceed her doctors’ and her family’s expectations in managing her disease.
It was perseverance that also enabled her to complete 30 miles of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day event just months before her death, longer than any stage 4 cancer survivor at the event.
“Near the end, with about five miles to go, I could not even imagine how Karen was doing, because I was sore and beaten. It was then that she picked up the pace,” recounted Scott.
A consistent strength,loving presence and
kindness defined Karen
A Living SermonJames Hunter, an Eagle Ranch resident from 1989-1994, credits Karen and Scott Smith’s role as houseparents with shaping the man he has become today. James remembers the influence each had in his young life and the life he continues to build today.
“The environment cultivated by Scott and Karen was one of fun and friendship,
providing me with sound advice, en-couragement and love. They encouraged us towards responsibility coupled with privilege and independence, all the while demonstrating a lot of love for each other in modeling a solid Christian marriage.
I graduated high school with a college prep seal under their supervision, and that was a miracle for me.”
“Karen literally coaxed me across the finish line, then she broke down on a bench next to me away from the crowd. She was hurting, but not beaten.”
A consistent strength, loving presence and kindness defined Karen, who remained connected to Eagle Ranch throughout her life and offered to pitch in when needed. She was always prayer- ful for positive outcomes for each child.
“I’m convinced the Eagle Ranch influence, fellow workers and children helped her outlive her prognosis by over three years,” Scott says.
“The power of God at Eagle Ranch still has the most positive impact upon my life than any other single factor. If Karen were here, she would say the same thing.”
The power of God at Eagle Ranch still has the
most positive impact upon my life
James’ High School picture, and James and Scott today.
She exhibited kindness becau se she believed she was no better than anyone el se. She was trul y hu mble, Trul y loving.
The Eagle Ranch Honor and Memorial Gift Program helps sustain our daily operational funds and provides a way to recognize loved ones. Numerous people have learned about the Ranch mission for the first time as recipients of an honor gift or by participating in a memorial gift designation. As a result, people have referred families with children in crisis to the Ranch, while others have become lifelong supporters. If you know a special person who would be inspired by the Eagle Ranch story, consider honoring them through this opportunity. To make a gift: mail a check to the Ranch with the form on the back of this newsletter, call the Ranch office, or go online to EagleRanch.org.
HONOR GIFTSContributions to the Eagle Ranch honorarium program are listed in alphabetical order by the name of the honoree. Donors are listed after the name of the person in whose honor they contributed (dona-tions received September 8, 2011 – January 20, 2012).

What Eddie and his staff have done at Eagle Ranch is truly
amazing! The impact for Christ from the kids that
have stayed at the Ranch will continue to bless many people
for years to come. Every month when I give to the Ranch,
I know I’m assisting in a ‘great adventure’ with God! I cannot
think of a better place to give financial support.

Carlee, 14, admits she has a long road ahead, but she feels ready for the journey. The ninth grader came to Eagle Ranch hoping to work on her relationship with her family but soon learned she first had to work on her relationship with herself.
“I had bad self-esteem and image problems. It would take me 2 hours the night before school to pick out what to wear,” Carlee recalls. “I didn’t even like going places. I used to think if people didn’t think I looked good, then they wouldn’t like me.”
Struggles with herself added to the struggle with her parents. “I got rebellious. I thought if things got too tough at home with my mom and stepdad, it would be better if I moved in with my dad,” she said. “I end-ed up gaining weight and getting depressed about myself. I was hanging out with people I shouldn’t hang out with and doing things I shouldn’t.”
Carlee credits her mom with seeing that things were getting worse and finding Eagle Ranch.
“I remember so clearly when my mom called and said I was accepted at the Ranch,” says Carlee. “I cried, and we talked a little bit. When we hung up, I don’t know why but I just started talking to God. I said, ‘I don’t know you that much, but I can feel that you’re probably leading me here for a purpose.’”
Shortly after arriving at the Ranch, she brought ques-tions about God to her assistant counselor, Anna.
“I asked Anna a bunch of questions. I wanted to know God and how to call for Him to be in my life,” Carlee said. “She told me this was a big decision and there was something within me that would let me know when I was ready. I still didn’t get it all, but I started listening more in church.”
Growing FaithConfidence
“Then, one Sunday, I felt something. I actually felt something. It was just this feeling. It’s hard to explain.” she says. “Now, when I have problems, I pray. I go to Christ and don’t try to handle it on my own. Things have gotten better, but it’s not perfect. Some things have actually gotten harder and more challenging, but with Christ I know I can work through it.”
Among the things improving for Carlee is confidence.
“I think I’ve been the most confident here that I’ve ever been. Looking back at old pictures, I see I wasn’t what I once thought I was. I wasn’t all that bad,” she said. “People here help build confidence. They say I’m pretty – not just my appearance, but my person-ality. Sometimes I can still be a little self conscious, but it’s a lot better.”
Carlee now feels like she has a solid foundation to start working on things with her family.
“That’s what I’m focusing on,” she said. “My mom, more than anyone, is the person I look up to – she’s persevered. Perseverance is what I think of when I think of Eagle Ranch. I want to take this opportunity and not let it slide by. Things will be hard, but I think the outcome will be worth it.”

Visit gascholarships.org or call Bob Baker at 770-967-8500 for details on the Georgia Student Scholarship Program. Don’t wait – the state’s designated funds for this program are limited and contributions are not accepted once the limit is met.
