We are happy to report our first round of faith-based trainings which happened in Boston and Hartford, CT were very well received! Our youth night was also well attended and the Shekinah Dance Team, Code A, Disciple, and Redeemed Praise thoroughly entertained us with their positive messages. As for the trainings, our participants wrote how they enjoyed the interactive workshops and inspiringly informative general session. Many said their only critique was that the trainings should have been longer!

The good news is you don't have to wait any longer for more trainings.  The dates have been set and registration is underway.  They are as follows:  Hartford, CT (February 11, 2006) - Rochester, NH (February 25, 2006) - Boston, MA (March 4, 2006). Click here to download the registration form.

This past December, while in the midst of planning our trainings for the upcoming spring, we received some unexpected news. Due to reasons unrelated to the performance of our program, the grantor decided to withdraw its funds. In light of this unexpected loss and in order to continue to provide services, we have developed a reconfiguration plan that reduces our operating budget by 40%. This means we need to limit our services to only providing the training workshops that have been so successful. At this point we deem this to be the most cost-effective way to continue pursuing our goal of equipping churches to deal with one of its most pressing concerns in youth ministry.

Would you consider standing with us to transform a difficult circumstance into an outstanding testimony? To meet even our new modest budget and do what we feel is best to meet the needs of today's church, we have to call on others to help us. If you wish to give a financial gift that would help our faith-based program continue, simply click the donation link.  We greatly appreciate your support and the opportunity to share our ministry with you

On June 4 th we proved our point by holding the first ever Doin' It Right three mile hike for abstinence. Teens from the Greater Boston area and beyond converged on Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, MA to enjoy a variety of great bands in the outdoors, all for a good cause. All proceeds raised through pledges for the hikers went directly to benefiting young teens and moms. Thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable event!

Pastor Jim Petipas invited us to give two presentations, first to the parents and then to the Senior High youth.  Over 25 parents showed up to be empowered and educated on how to talk to their kids about sexual purity.  We were impressed by their willing hearts and thoughtful questions.  The Senior High youth were a lot of fun.  Tons of character(s) and it was obvious the high value each of them placed on God's truth.  We really enjoyed the opportunity to share such an important message with them.

We recently took part in the annual Grotonwood Urban Winter Camp put on by the Youth Ministry Development Project of the Emmanuel Gospel Center. We presented three workshops to 130 youth, one general session and two separate sessions for guys and girls.

It was our first experience at Congress 2005, New England 's largest gathering of New England ministries. We enjoyed connecting with a variety of youth workers and presenting a workshop for parents on talking to their kids about sex with Terri Beal of PreVeil Inc.
