Greetings fellow warriors, I am founder of Securing Hope Ministry, which is a ministry devoted to re-establishing the value of virginity in the Body of Christ. I know one of your challenges is dealing with the tremendous adverse affect the world is having on our youth when it comes to sexuality.
I believe in this period of earths’ history, the second most important decision a young person can make is to remain a virgin. Yet because of the systemic silence about sexuality in the Church, the promotion of virginity and abstinence is not a priority.
I believe this non-focus must change and the generational curse of ignorance that’s prevalent in the Church must be broken. This of course will be accomplished by prayer, fasting, and education. I have found in the six plus years I’ve been involved in this ministry that this issue of ignorance does not affect only our youth but their parents as well. So this education process must involve both young & old.
If you agree and need to establish an abstinence program in your Church that will enlighten your members, we can help. There is information on my AYS page and my website at www.securinghopeministry.org If you need to reach me by phone, I can be contacted at 336-459-3034.
We can help you make the difference in the appreciation and the celebration of virginity and sexual purity in minds of your youth, their parents, young adults, and other members in your congregation, because abstinence is truly “Awesome” and a “Family Affair”!
Yours in the struggle,
Elder Raymond S. King Jr.

Shepherding Youth is sometimes like herding cats - Ya think?

They love ya, want you to help, touch there lives in the wee hours of the morning, afternoon and night. . . feed me, feed me . . .gimme, gimme, my name is Jimmy, or Jasmin!

Would we want it any other way in our lives! NO

The story of the prodigal son, the lost coin, the lost sheep! I guess there were not enough cats when Jesus was around or He would have shared a story or a parable about them.

Kids grow on ya, their parents can't live with out you or they are jealous of you - cuz you reach them like they could not!

We continue to press on!

So tell me when do you let go of your youth? They graduate? They move? They don't come anymore? They get pregnant? They drink or do drugs? Your not cool anymore?

Is there any reason we start as youth leaders or Youth Pastors, youth helpers? Then we turn into parents and and we have to just say, your to old now, move on? Or something of the like? Our label as such is just that, a label!

I propose that our label or title is that of a "Servant" and we have been called to be just that! Serve with all your heart, soul and strength! No one else is...

Youth Pastors from around the world, thank you for creating a place to share their lives with you and one another, sharpening them , encouraging them, pushing them and so much more!

I applaude all you Servents to the cats - Herd away friends! Herd away!

Love em, pet em, feed em, cloth em, clean em, pray for them, FOR EVER! This is our call till Jesus returns!

In His service, as He said "Go!"

Bye for now,
Tony

Dear Youth Pastors, I am not a pastor, only a youth leader, but the info that I wish you all to view is important for our time. Please go to You Tube and enter 4Runner777, then type: Homo-Geniz-Nation. For the second video enter: The Jay-Z Deception. Finally, for the next video on You Tube just enter: The Devil in Music (Chris Brown Exclusive)-subliminal messages. May God bless you as you watch.

Two hours ago I posted requesting prayer. Two hours later I am posting requesting prayer again but not for me. It's 8:30am and I have just recieved word that one of our fellow Youth Pastors has fallen ill and is in the hospital in Guyana. I was told he is on oxygen and and some kind of "sirom". Please keep him in your prayers as you do your devotions this morning that he may get well and head back to the battlefield.

I'm not a Youth Pastor but joined the group anyways. I am asking you guys to keep me in your prayers. I am not asking for anything. What I do need is strength and guidance from God. I am now starting an outreach ministry in GA and am doing some soul searching to see if this is the path God is showing me.
