It seems like there is a lot of change around the Peace Place right now... kids that have moved, new faces to volunteer (yay!), new kids to be mentored, summer fast approaching.... Praise God that He knows what he is doing and He is at work amidst the changes.
From everything that I heard, Spring Break Bible Club went a really well out here so thank you for praying. They had lots of people come love on the kiddos and teach about Jesus.
The Housing Authority does want to get a community center and something similar to Peace Place going in another neighborhood and excitingly there is someone who God is calling to lead that! What an answer to prayer. Please continue to pray as the planning and ground breaking work begins...more details to come.
Two weekends ago we got to take the kids out to "Barneyville". Barneyville is the home/ranch of one of our volunteers. We grilled, played baseball, fed cows, chased chickens, celebrated a birthday, face painted, worshipped Jesus and had a really great time! You could tell that the peacefulness of the place had a calming affect on the kids and the freedom to run and play in a place like that with Godly people was really good for them. Ok, enough talk... here are some pictures:
Our Vision
Through the power of Christ and the method of mentoring relationships see at-risk children provided with a safe and encouraging place within their own community to take hold of true hope and life change in Christ. That these children will then pass along positive change to their future families and communities.
