As someone who has known hardship and struggle in my life and particularly in my youth, I believe I am granted a unique opportunity to minister to these boys and girls who come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations, but all know difficulty in some way. I believe that through imaging the constant, unconditional love of Christ on a daily basis and by building personal and persistent relationships with them, that they may come to see the character of God’s love, and I in turn get to serve some of those in my community who need to know Him the most. I know that God works through people and I can only pray that he might work through me to reveal himself in the lives of these youth.
