I was blessed with a strong Christian upbringing. My parents instilled in me good morals and the importance of living a Christ-centered life. Now that I’m an adult, I am more aware of the world’s hurts. I am heartbroken for the breakdown of families. I see on a daily basis the aftermath of abuse, neglect, and addictions. Children’s lives are being turned upside down and they are being discarded. The world is a cruel place but there is hope.
Christ is at the center of this hope and He is calling us to help. We need to stand in the gap and mentor these hurting souls. That’s why Springfield Christian Youth Ministries was founded. We have the platform to make a stand and to change lives! I count it a great privilege to love and witness to these students. I’ve seen first-hand the positive influences that we (through Christ) have made. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to help the hurting and lead students to the Lord. If we all make the effort to step out of our own comfort zones, we can make a huge impact for the Kingdom of God!
