COUNTERACT
by Greg Harris with Francisco Molina
Unimaginable Stories of Redemption from Inside Central America's Juvenile Prisons
Behind the concrete walls of Central America’s juvenile detention centers, stories of redemption are unfolding. Here, COUNTERACT brings readers inside these often unseen places, where faith-filled mentors meet youth who have been written off by society.
Through powerful, real-life accounts, the book shows how lives begin to change. As trust builds, hope takes root — even in the hardest environments.
This is a story of purpose rising where none seemed possible.

Behind every changed life, someone chooses to care.
At Counteract, we’ve seen this firsthand. When overlooked youth are met with patience, truth, and steady support, gradually, walls come down. Then, direction begins to take shape, and ultimately, hope starts to grow. Because of this, your giving makes these moments possible — again and again.

What People Are Saying About the Book
" A must read for anyone interested in how people can make lasting change in their lives, find hope, and become whole again."
- Amazon Reviewer
"As a long-time pastor and staff member with Counteract International since 2011, I am thrilled at how well Greg and Pancho as authors have presented accurately this amazing story. The story is how love, mentoring, teaching and opportunity are counteracting the negative influences on youth of extreme poverty, family disruption, abuse, violence and a lack of educational and vocational opportunity. This is a story of holistic intervention from the day a young person is incarcerated until they become successful citizens and leaders in families, churches, workplaces and communities! The book is filled with great information on strategy and philosophy of this work. It presents uplifting stories about the dedicated, courageous Central American staff members and the resilient, determined, hope-filled youth succeeding and overcoming difficult backgrounds. I am obviously and openly biased, but I truly believe you will be inspired by this book! I was personally strengthened and renewed in my dedication to this work by reading it from the beginning to the end!"
