All Hands On Deck (Urban Youth Impact)

Urban Youth Impact’s mission is to Love, Equip, and Empower Inner-city kids and their families. On a daily basis I work with kids, who statistically don’t have a chance for their future. We live in a community where 75% of our families don’t have a father figure in their homes. Our young males look up to the only older men around, the thugs on the street. Here at Urban Youth Impact we determine to help direct the lives of these kids in the inner city, to point them in the right direction. Recently Urban Youth has been hit hard financially due to the state of our economy. We are now in a situation where we need all hands on deck. Any small contribution you could make would be greatly appreciated.

Morning walk

The realization that God matters most can be earth shattering. Its takes your eyes to a place where you see colors the eyes have never seen before. And at this realization my heart is moved with unfailing Joy and the deepest form of sorrow.
This morning I was up early thinking about life. I went outside to see watch the sunrise over my neighborhood here in West Palm Beach. I decided to take a walk down my street to the corner of Adams and Tamarind. I was thinking about all the kids and all the faces I see everyday here in this community. Then I started thinking about the revival taking place in Cambodia, being that I'm working on a project about Cambodia. Although my community has a high poverty level, it doesn't even compare with the poverty of the people of Cambodia.
But thing the Cambodians now have that my community doesn't have, is the movement of peace that comes from God by Jesus. The realization that came next is the reason i write this journal in tears. I too have that same peace and i live in a community that desperately needs that peace. I began to walk back home, keeping in mind the faces of the first grade boys i work with from this community. The instant I walked through the door of my house, I began weeping. I realized I may out live a lot of these boys. When they hit their teens, they're gonna hit the streets. Unless God moves in their lives now at this early age, they're going to be the criminals that keep this hood in fear. And the greatest thing that pained me most was that they may die without that peace that comes from Christ. I encourage everyone to watch this video below.
