We are trying to garner financial support to help Rian buy a newer, more practical vehicle to serve him for the many years he will be serving us. He is planning on visiting with us during the Christmas holiday and we would love to surprise him by taking him car shopping. You are likely seeing this because you know and love Rian, but you could also help by promoting this effort amongst people whom you know.

Restoration Cycles Completes Natchez Trace Bicycle Tour

Many people desire to do something significant that challenges them physically and mentally. That is precisely what Restoration Cycles offers young men at Youth-Reach. Birthed out of Tony and I’s experience on the 4,000-mile TransAmerica, I knew bicycle touring could somehow positively benefit residents who were desperate for wholesome adventure.

We Are a Christian Ministry

We are a Christian ministry built on the foundation of God’s Word. We are not religious, but we take advantage of the power found in a relationship with Jesus to witness the healing of young lives. Firm, compassionate and balanced discipline coupled with clear and predictable boundaries are key elements in this transformation.

We Never Charge a Fee for Our Services

We never charge a fee for our services. We feel strongly that our services should be provided without a parent’s ability to pay the bill being a consideration. This work is not cheap, but we are committed to raising the support so our assistance to families can be offered free of charge.

We Are a Long-Term Solution

We are a long-term solution for the kids that need long-term care. A young man can stay at Youth-Reach for as long as they need a home and continue to make progress. If a guy is in need and remains teachable, they may stay, gain a high school diploma, and leave Youth-Reach for college, or even better, the mission field.

We Are Legitimate

We are legitimate in every way. We are a recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization and perform yearly independent audits. Our facilities meet or exceed all state and county health, fire and building codes.

We Work with Juveniles & Adults

We work with both juveniles and adults. We care for juveniles from age twelve to eighteenth birthday at our Houston campus, and for adult young males ages of eighteen to twenty-two here on our Summerdale, Alabama campus.
