The Jackson Sun ran an article last week on two amazing people in their mid-70s who spend their time helping out troubled youth at the Youth Town Christian drug and addiction facility in Pinson, Tenn.The duo, Weldon "Mr. T" Trevethan and "Ms." Mattie Ray, find that they get as much out of volunteering as the teens do:
'I was so lonely and everything, it was more for me than the kids,' Ray said about coming to Youth Town. 'After God put me here, this takes my time, gives me hope to live.
'Now I wouldn't change what I got for anything in this world,' she said.
Youth Town is the first residential treatment center of its kind to offer Professional Christian Life Coaching to every graduate of the program.
