Balanced & Effective 

We desire for our programming to be effective in the lives of the youth we meet with. We believe balanced programming provides us that ability. Balanced programming is about arranging consistent and frequent connections that focus on the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional aspects of our youth.  

This balanced view to ministry shows our youth the faithful care and love of Christ. This love and care is something most have never before experienced in their young lives. Our desire is to see Christ's love and redeeming work active in their hearts as this is what will bring lasting life change.

BACKPACKS FOR KIDS 

Our Backpacks For Kids "after care" Program helps provide practical items to youth who have been released from a facility and are re-entering our community. Many of these youth are on their own for the very first time in their lives and without family members to help them. They own very little or nothing of their own. We provide them with the basics to help them get back on their feet. Click Here For List Of Needed Contents.

Facility Christmas 

Our Facility Christmas Program provides for the spiritual and practical needs of the approximate 270 youth who are inside facilities during the end of each year. In December we go into each of the
facilities we serve in and give the kids Bibles, board games, clothing, sports equipment, water bottles, art items, puzzles, food, and entertainment for Christmas. During this time of year it provides the kids with hope that someone cares. It also gives us the ability to  share Christ with them and the adults who work at the facilities. (*This program also includes all items for a local group home that takes their 20 youth on a trip to California every December.)
