Just being involved in juvenile justice I realized that I resonated with that population. I saw that 80% or more girls had been sex trafficked and nobody was doing anything, and working in that capacity I was able to ask the questions to open doors. 3) It makes such a difference when you have loved ones that pray for you, especially when you're walking down the wrong paths in life.4) In today's world it’s not just about a 5 year plan. You have to be able to pivot when you see things changing so you don’t get left behind. 5) We work with male and females from ages 7 to 26 in prevention, intervention, and education. This is the model we go after because we feel we need to get them at a young age.6) There is a principle that requires you to follow through or I call it “get out of the boat”. You trust the Lord with the plan and follow through with his lead so you can know when to pivot and how to flow to where you need to go.7) In all life skills we incorporate spiritual and biblical principles and support in everything. We aren’t necessarily faith based but we embrace and incorporate these principles and they are at work. We take the curriculum and incorporate biblical principles within it. We allow God to flow and move in his direction. We are generally speaking, considered secular even though the spiritual principles are interwoven. QUOTES:- When you take that leap of faith God honors it and meets you there. He is faithful through it all. - I found favor in a secular world. - We were the catalyst and advocate for changing some of the policies on how they handle victimized girls in these situations. - Bridge Network helps girls and boys as well. - Conditions can change constantly when following the direction of the Lord. - 2020 had a high number of suicides. We were blessed to have our youth center remain open. - We accept everyone no matter what place they are...
