Vicki’s House and Cabins: In memory of Vicki O’Connell, a new cabin was built to serve as a central meeting place for the girls residing in 4 adjacent cabins. Vicki’s House hosts meals, meetings and activities for the girls in the 4 cabins. Having independent cabins allows older girls, who have already progressed through the Heartlight Level System, to assume responsibilty for their own living arrangements as well to carie for the nearby Horse Barn and horses.
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.
