About Our Founders
Mark and Jan Gregston began their work with teens 34 years ago as youth ministers in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Their involvement also with Young Life moved them to open their home to work with teens who were struggling through crisis family problems. This sparked the idea for a larger residential program for teens with professional counselors and caring mentors. In 1989, Mark and his wife Jan moved to East Texas, where they started Heartlight. Since then, Heartlight has helped several thousand struggling teenagers turn away from negative motivations and peers toward a more positive and productive outlook on life.
