Children are often caught in the crossfire of our broken world.

Children in circumstances beyond their control can find hope at Show-Me.

There is a place…

Going beyond the limits of traditional foster care, children living at Show-Me Christian Youth Home receive therapeutic benefits from specialized programs in a Christ-centered, family environment. Working together, we help each child—physically, academically, emotionally, and spiritually—overcome the struggles of their past and prepare for a successful future.

We have an opportunity to affect the todays and tomorrows of vulnerable children, which impacts generations to come – right on into eternity!
