and I am truly grateful for YOU! You have made all this possible through
your support! I believe God, in spite of the circumstance, has allowed us to
have an incredible year of ministry.

"Prayer Works!"
-A Story from Inside JJM
Every week our Juvenile Justice Ministry leaders are serving at the Nassau County
Detention Center. From hosting Bible studies to teaching art and music, our goal is to
share the love of God with those that have often lost hope. Stephen, a LIYFC leader,
asked Manny*, one of the inmates, “How can I pray for you?” Manny replied “I feel so bad
I’ve broken my mom’s heart by being here. I’ve missed Mother’s day and I’ll miss her
birthday. I don’t want to be about the street anymore, they’ve never done anything for
me, I really want to get back to school. Can you pray for my relationship with her and that
I can turn my life around?”
Stephen prayed with him, and then he went to call his mom. Manny came back with this
huge smile on his face, and told Stephen, “My mom said that she was praying for me and
I said ‘I’m praying in here'. She was shocked and so happy!" He then told Stephen that
things are looking up and that "Prayer WORKS!" We believe that to be true and that no
one is beyond God's grace and love.

UPDATE ON SARAH'S STORY
A year ago we shared Sarah's* story, a student in our City Life program who found
herself pregnant at 16 years old with nowhere to turn. Sarah, who had been in the
foster system her whole life was then put in an even harder situation, all during the
course of a pandemic. Because of her relationship with her YFC mentor, she always
had a caring adult by her side. YFC was able to arrange transportation to doctor
appointments, provide emotional support, and held a drive-by baby shower.
We are happy to report Sarah had a healthy baby, who just turned one! Her YFC leader
says Sarah overcame this year with resilience and has matured into an excellent mother
and young adult. She is still attending our City Life meetings, now with baby in hand,
and our volunteers love to babysit her little one so she can have some time to play the
games and participate in the Bible studies. Thank you for praying and continuing to
pray for Sarah! *Names changed for privacy
