“Tonight, about 40 percent of American children will go to sleep in homes in which their fathers do not live…” David Blankenhorn in his book “Fatherless America.”
Dear Friend,
First of all, thank you for taking a few minutes to visit our website and learn more about our ministry. We are an outreach ministry to youth and we have a special focus on high-risk youth, youth from broken homes and the fatherless.
I began developing this ministry in 2008 and have been in full-time youth ministry since 1987. Until 2008 most of my youth ministry experience was in the church, serving as a full-time youth pastor and eventually developing some key ministries focused on training parents and youth leaders. If you are want to know more about my ministry experience, here is a link to my Linked In business profile.
All those experiences were very rewarding but when God redirected my path into this new world of ministry, things changed drastically… ministry took on a whole new meaning. James 1:27 says it in a pretty unique way, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” After connecting with very high-risk youth in our community, I realized quickly that what I was doing was a ministry that was very close to the heart of God. Ministry to the fatherless.
If you visit the pages of our website you will see a lot of activity from 2008 until now. The needs are so great in the communities we serve, we get asked to do a lot of ministry partnering with others. You will notice my involvement as a speaker in All Pro Dad Father and Kids events, juvenile detention center chaplain ministry including major events as well as Bible studies and mentoring, and partnerships with local public schools. The simplest understanding of our scope of ministry is on a personal level I provide specialized ministry as a youth ministry chaplain to high-risk youth in the communities we serve and we provide mentoring, mentor training and discipleship. Our outreach into the public schools focuses on positive peer pressure, anti-drug and anti-bullying. We can make a big difference with your help.
The outreach we provide is funded by individuals, businesses and churches. Our goal is to have 100 individuals, 10 business partners and 10 churches supporting our ministry.
Would you join us as one of our partners in this mission? We would be excited to have you on our ministry team. Our monthly supporters can support what we do on a monthly basis for any amount from $15 per month on up to several hundred dollars per month.
Why not start today, investing in youth that need the message of the gospel, those who need a caring adult to walk with them side by side?
For youth,
Ken Turner
