Over the years Heartlight has become one of the finest residential Christian counseling centers of its kind, with an added national outreach to families that includes publishing, radio, internet and live and recorded seminars.

Heartlight is firmly attached to its mission – helping families with teens who struggle. Some of the new opportunities for Heartlight include the development of the Heartlight Radio program, growing weekly, with new networks and stations adding Heartlight to their air-time schedule every week.

Mark Gregston’s new book, When Your Teen is Struggling, released in January, was chosen as a premier Harvest House publication and is now already scheduled for a second printing.  Mark has started work on his second book, The Many Faces of Rebellion.

Mark’s most recent booklet A Look at Adoption From the Other Side is now available. The number of Heartlight resources is rapidly increasing. Our booklets on topics like cutting, discipline, and control issues are already available. Parent training on DVDs and CDs with the Dealing with Struggling Teens series is also complete and two new curriculum kits for church and small group study will be released later this year.

Heartlight has made big strides in its web presence, with an updated main site and new websites developed for Heartlight Radio and Heartlight Resources. We have also launched programs of instructing and encouraging parents via email, blogs, and podcasts.

The dream of Heartlight has come a long way this year in its development. With the current explosion of our ministry, we believe Heartlight’s best years are still ahead. Our past success has created an arena for a ministry that will flourish and grow with each passing year. Our mission is clear, and remains the same. We’ll stay true to form, serving in excellence and depending on God for our daily direction for the teens who come to stay with us and with those He puts before us.
