Safe Harbor Ministries to youth helps
any congregation start an outreach program to the young people who live in the
community surrounding the church. If your local church does not have a
practical space we can show you how to set up using a school or other space that
may be available at a reasonable cost.
We show you how to identify the
kind of people who would be good at leading such a ministry once it is
established. We can explain from our own experience what works and
what doesn't when working with the Street Wise young people in your
community.
We explain how to get free advertising,
and corporate sponsorship of your program in addition to selling the idea to the
leadership of your church. We will help you establish a good working
relationship with local law enforcement agencies.
For the program to remain a vital part
of your ministry to the community we will help you in the process of bringing
these young people to the Lord and active participation in the life of your
church. You will also learn how to identify future leaders from among the young
people themselves.
In our sixth and seventh years it was
not unusual for young adults to occasionally drop in who had been with us
while in High School, and had gotten jobs in the community and had been
married. It is a wonderful feeling to see these young people
becoming responsible citizens of the community instead of continuing down a road
leading to pain and self-destruction.
