You are Giving Kids Hope!

From the Heart of President Lars Carlson

There is a growing mission field right here in the United States, in the communities where we live and work every day. More and more kids are being raised in environments where they aren't hearing the Gospel message and learning what it means to follow Jesus. They're told to choose their own way, do what feels right to them, and be whoever they want to be. Unfortunately, that's not the message they need. It confuses them and pressures them to make decisions they can't make.

What they truly need is the hope of Jesus, and with your support, Youth Haven is helping them find it!

Through our on-site experiences and our Adventure Club mail and online program, children learn that God created them with intentionality and purpose, and He loves them and has a special plan for their lives. This summer, we'll be using the lives of Samuel and David as examples of people who chose to serve God when they were young, and God used them in powerful ways. Our goal is to show the children they are not too young to follow the King of Kings, and He loves them no matter what is in their past or what their circumstances look like.

It's up to us to make sure the next generation of Americans knows the truth so they can find hope for the future and share that hope with others. We have a big job to do, and I'm so grateful for friends like you who stand with us faithfully through your financial gifts, prayers, and volunteer service. We provide our programs to the children free of charge and without state or federal funding. We couldn't do it without you!

Thank you for allowing God to use you in the life of a child who needs His love this summer. Every child who discovers the hope of Jesus at Youth Haven is a future leader who will impact the world for Him!

For the Children,

Lars Carlson, President & CEO
