Ever since I gave my life to Jesus Christ…
…He has placed a longing in my heart to reach young men and women with God's message of reconciliation and hope.
Many teenagers are presently following the same dark path I was on. Their lives are without direction. They're oppressed and tormented with all kinds of problems and struggles. They struggle with anger and rage; most are probably not even sure why they feel as they do.
Frankly, many of our precious youth are headed in one of two places: to jail for breaking the law, or to an early grave because of reckless behavior. America's prisons are filled with young people who threw away their lives by making bad choices. Now they are living with the consequences.
Graveyards across this nation are filled with young people who lost their lives to alcohol, other drugs, suicide, or who were killed in gang fights and drive-by shootings. Large numbers of innocent bystanders died, too, because of kids who made bad choices and crashed their cars or who committed acts of violence.
Thus, in the midst of a world in which so many kids are out of control, I want to be a voice of direction and hope for them. I desire to fulfill God's calling upon my life by being just one of a myriad of voices of concerned Christians who want to point them down the right path. And if God uses me to touch one young life, then I am thankful.
