Juvenile Justice Presentation

Gearing Up for Ministry

Its been a while since I updated this blog and for that I apologize. Things have been moving along and i would like to share that with you.

First of all, JJM has hired a second person to help the cause. John Conklin brings 26 years of experience working with Juvenile Youth in various capacities and facilities. His passion for truly helping these kids is evident when you talk with him.

Second, John and I just completed the orientation and applcation process at Vanderheyden hall and look forward to starting ministry at our first site in the next few months. Check out their organization at www.vanderheydenhall.org.

Thanks for checking out the blog.

Finally Full-Time

It's September 17th and I am finally full-time w/ YFC again...

Last night at 9:00 pm the duty officer at Brookwood Secure Center granted me permission to walk around the facility to say my good byes to about 20 residents that I had grown close to.  Many of the guys I had mentored over the course of the last 14 months, all of whom I had deep conversations about life.  As I walked out of Brookwood for the last time as a Youth Division Aide I had a tear in my eye.

Today I look forward to what God has planned for me as the Director of Juvenile Justice Ministries for the Capital Region (Albany, NY).

For my immediate future....
