I rushed home from Orlando yesterday just in time to hear the sermon at our church. It was on Point #5 of our churches “PEACE Plan” for addressing the giants of our city.
1. Planting Churches
2. Equipping Leaders to Serve
3. Assist the Poor
4. Care for the Sick
5. Educate the next Generation
6. Embrace Africa
Yes, there are two ‘E’s. The sermon was on the churches efforts in S.A.Y. Yes! Youth Development Center, the Jr. and Sr. High School ministries and the newest endeavor, the PEP Program. PEP (Paramount Educational Project) is a multi-faceted plan to bring mentoring, computer training, etc. to youth and adults of the community. High school graduates will complete a number of criteria and receive a four-year scholarship to college! One of the most amazing things about this is that the City of Paramount initiated with the church to do this!
The sermon was one of the best I even heard on the biblical mandate to focus on youth. It’s great to have a church that I’m anxious to get across the country for!
