On Saturday, May 16, several men from First Baptist Church of Woodstock arranged a fishing rodeo for 39 young men of Goshen Valley Boys Ranch. The morning was spent enjoying each others company while fishing for prizes. While several fish were caught, including some bass weighing in at nearly 5 lbs., the focus was truly on the boys having the chance to spend quality time with the men of FBCW. The event was also made possible by Family Life Publications, who donated fishing poles and tackle for the boys to use. It was truly a Saturday that will not soon be forgotten for the young men who participated.

Hope comes through the healing Goshens young men receive. Hope, combined with intentional services and education results in life direction for each young man. Goshens greatest achievement is how they equip the young men at Goshen Valley to see past the burden of their circumstances by helping them not only overcome their past, but to use their story as a blessing to themselves and others. With spiritual mentorship and training in life skills, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch provides every possible opportunity for a hopeful future. Goshen Valley Boys Ranch is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Cherokee County.
