Samaritan Center for Boys and Families

We have completed our work project at Samaritan Center for Boys. The boys bathroom is almost done, just needs painting. The boys are very happy with it! The boys residence homes are looking bright and clean and the house parents are extremely grateful for the help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can’t believe how fast our month went. We feel like we just started and now we have to move on to our next project this coming Friday February 6th.  We have made lasting friendships with the other SOWER couples and the staff we worked with here.

What a ministry they have here at Samaritan Home for Boys and Families in Stuart, FL.  www.samaritanhouseforboys.com  Jesus Christ is in the center of all activities.  The boys are on a point system where they learn the consequences of their actions, both the positive and the negative.  The feed back from the teaching staff and the house parents to the boys is immediate and direct.  The parents of the boys receive counseling and direction each week when the bring the boys here, on Wednesday nights and again on Fridays when they pick up the boys. 

We have the chance to interface with the boys when they have free time.  They like to come by to see how and what we are doing and help when they can.

 

Doreen, Judy and Jenny are deep cleaning the boys’ residences.
