We serve at-risk youth in grades 6th-12th. Our unique focus is we seek out transient youth and proactively maintain relationships with them regardless of where they may move throughout Houston. 0 0 98768 0 Large Group Programs and Activities: Friday Night Live (FNL) is our primary large group program throughout the year. Active youth are encouraged to invite their friends to join them. Usually held two Fridays per month, a typical night starts off with dinner, games, and fellowship before hearing a short devotion/message followed by small-group discussion about the topic. Our goal is to have a caring and inviting atmosphere where students can not only lay their worries aside, but also build relationships with adult volunteers who expose them to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our hope is that the youth get plugged into this community, form positive and lasting relationships with the other youth, keep coming back to FNL, and also get involved in our other programs. We also have a week long vacation bible school (JNTH) in the summer which features high energy fun and games, bible verse memorization, gospel rap artists, speakers and small group breakout time. Other weekend activities include fun social outings such as ice skating, service projects for our youth to give back to the community, educational experiences, and attending special church programs. 26221 0 Our small group disciple program is centered around creating deep and lasting one-on-one relationships between our most committed youth and volunteers. This program includes biblical studies on living a Christ-centered life and building Christ-centered relationships - all in an effort to prepare our youth for a satisfying and successful walk with Christ. Mentors also get to know their youth well enough to help them address academic and social issues. This program uses small-group and one-on-one time to build the relationships necessary for lasting change. 64237 0 Camps and Retreats: For many youth, our camp and retreat outings are among the highlight of their year. These activities are directly targeted and designed for students who find themselves in an urban setting and in at-risk situations. A bus load of our youth attend a Christian sports camp in Missouri for a week in the summer. We also send some of our other youth to attend camp at a Christian ranch in Texas. In the spring we have a large weekend retreat at a Christian camp in Texas. Every year students come back and share how these experiences literally changed their lives. 19804 0 College and Career Prep program - Provides help for our high school juniors and seniors in navigating the college selection, application, financial aid and scholarship process.
