They may be dealing with surgery, sickness, or other difficult times. The intentions are prayed for daily by the Prayer Line. “Our duty is not to see through one another, but to see one another through. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

While learning basic wood working skills, these kids, more importantly are also building communication skills and self esteem. Currently, we are making Adirondack chairs. After expenses, profits from their sale helps to pay for the youths’ GED testing or restitution.
