Role models and advocates are needed to build into relationships with a generation where so many are scarred by broken homes. Individuals are able to overcome despair when hope is spoken into their lives. Practical life skills and goal setting are brand new tools that empower the individual. Giving vision for a future, showing how to effectively reach out, and expressing God's love and forgiveness needs to be modeled as well as spoken.

Nurturing Community

Many young people enter adulthood prematurely and lack the skills for a healthy lifestyle. They come from broken homes and dysfunctional families which were void of positive role models. Abandonment and rejection are not easy to overcome, especially when it has dominated a young life. Healthy role models that are willing to invest into their lives and model healthy family are the key ingredient to empower them to overcome.
