Schools out for Summer

We’re near the close of another school year. In the past, Campus Life Clubs would shut down for the summer and the staff would focus on a few summer camps and events. Today our youth centers run programs throughout the summer, mentoring relationships continue and our programs in the Juvenile Detention Center function year round. We also focus on camps and trips for kids throughout the summer.

We know the challenges kids face don’t take a break when school is out and neither do we. In our focus to connect with kids in authentic relationships we now strive to walk alongside them through thick and thin, all year long.

Thank you for walking alongside us! You’re supporting and encouraging us, which supports and encourages kids in our community.

Life or Death

Recently one of our volunteers related this story:

A boy is sitting in detention, facing hard time.  He realized recently, not one of his gang friends has come to his court hearings.  He is now contemplating what it would mean to give up the gang life… for a life pursuing Jesus.  His choice could mean death… death from the gang lifestyle, or death for trying to get out of the gang.  He was challenged to think of the rewards or consequences on the other side of both deaths. Being a thoughtful young man, he told our volunteer “I’m not going to choose Jesus, unless I’m willing to actually do it”.

Will you pray for this boy as he considers his choice?

It could be you impacting the life of a kid in this way… Give us a call at 779-3275.
