Partner Resources

Recently I received a word from the Lord for the church about the economic crisis.
We need to take our citizenship in Heaven very seriously. More about this later…

I bring you greetings and wish you a blessed New Year!

People seem to be more open to the Word right now. And as the year ends, it is a good reminder that our lives will someday end on earth, but a new one is just around the corner. Many of my friends and family members have experienced that this year. Too many urban children have also, and many, it seems, have not yet developed a personal relationship with Christ. Youth Resources exists for the advancement of urban youth and youth working organizations to reduce crime, poverty, illiteracy and fatherlessness. We do this through discipling youth ministers and serving as an intermediary organization to assist faith-based organizations.

End result – Life change IS delivered.

I have traveled much this past year to minister to thousands of youth and youth leaders. Our publications have been used by the Lord to change lives around the world. We have been able to encourage local youth workers with practical gifts and equipment to borrow that people like you have donated. We have helped sponsor the local Urban Reload conference, Twin City Youth Worker lunches, local DeVos training, community outreaches, prayer walks and finaly the One Thing conference at the KC international house of prayer.

End result – Life change WAS delivered.

We as a nation are experiencing economic crises. Within the past week I have received many inquiries from ministries asking for help. This summer I received a word from the Lord about the church. (I am willing to come and speak at your church, home group or Bible study or just have coffee with you.) The Lord showed me that we need to take our citizenship in Heaven very seriously. In Philippians 3:20 it talks about us being citizens of Heaven. Yet many of us have adopted this world and are living like it. In verse 19 there is a warning to not worship our stomachs. In this time of economic crises we need to be as aliens in this world. What does an alien or immigrant do when they get a check – send ½ of it back home. They know they have a responsibility that they cannot ignore. We must do more to send our resources to building the Kingdom, our true home. We must live more simply, choose less not more, and give more not less. Give as He freely gives rather than thinking the next purchase will bring peace. Read the warning in verse 18. Paul warns us “I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.” The word for the Church is to do the opposite of the world: increase our giving – not cut back.

Many people say thanks for doing the work of Youth Resources, but few actually get involved. The need is greater than our current resources.

We need people that are willing to sacrifice resources.

We need mentors for youth and youth workers.

We need people to pray for us daily. When this happens….

End result – Life change Will be delivered.
