Bible studies as well as just "hanging out" with kids and modeling
a personal example of Jesus Christ. A desire to love and serve kids
should be a priority. This is where you can be the difference in a
military teen?s life! By being in their world, walking alongside
them, and creating a community where they experience the truth of
God?s love and purpose for them, our staff provide a safe space
where teens can develop friendships and connections to experience
laughter, build hope, and generate resiliency. We are currently
