About this campaign
"Will you partner with me and I'll repay you with impacted lives?" (P.Jackson quote) Help me as I walk life with and invest in young people in gangs and the prison system that many consider throw-aways but GOD says "I created you for a purpose!" ...and THAT is my purpose!
FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS, I have been involved in youth ministry in one form or the other...but my most favorite (and hardest) time has been the last 5-6 years when I intentionally moved into a gang infested neighborhood in Chicago to walk life with some pretty amazing yet hardened and hurting young people. I wasn't there to save the hood or bring God there (He was already there) but I was called to simply be a "light in a kid's darkness." My life has changed since I have become a part of their community and since they have let me into their lives. My desire is to let them know there is a God that adores them, that He has created them for a purpose and that I can be a safe place and resource for them to live a life they were created for...the beauty of it has been that they have taught me many things as well, impacting my life forever.

HOW DO I FINANCIALLY DO THIS?
-I do this from my own pocket (when I am able).
-I do this with help from many wonderful people who give of their resources - from free tickets, to free food, to free services to free space.
-I do this CREATIVELY when I have no resources, money, etc.
-I do this trusting God to provide...and He has!
BUT NOW I NEED YOUR HELP AS WELL!
God has opened some pretty amazing doors lately for my boyz on da block but I need some additional funding to continue the work:
- A local church has offered their church van to help transport youth whenever/wherever is needed - free
- The same church has suggested offering office space AND meeting space for my youth - free (in talks now)
- I am meeting next week with the pastor of church that has a basketball gym that is rarely used with hopes that I can use it for my youth (and expand to other youth in the area for open gym and tourneys)
- I desire to use the space or my home to start an afterschool tutoring/ homework PLUS fun activity during the winter months
...and I have a million other things I want to do for the youth in my community
WILL YOU PARTNER WITH ME?
