I am honored to preach in chapel this Friday morning, March 7, 2014 at New Hope Academy.
Here is a statement from their website:
We are a community of hope.
We believe that changing our culture begins with understanding and that understanding takes place in genuine relationships. Separately, we remain impoverished and underprivileged—the poor and affluent alike. Together, we become empowered and enlightened lifting one another to a Christ-centered life.
Join us Monday night March 10 and Monday night March 17 from 6:00-7:15 PM for a special session for parents of teens.
Are you struggling to teach your teenager “right from wrong?” Are you feeling the pressures of friends, neighbors, media and society to be permissive, give your teen more space and give in when your heart tells you that you need to be more engaged as a parent in your teenager’s moral and spiritual character development.
Come join us for an open, honest look at a Biblical approach to parenting your teenager. Come find the courage you need to teach your teenager “right from wrong.”
If you played in the NFL and won a Super Bowl… then coached in the NFL and won a Super Bowl… then became a best selling author and NFL TV analyst among many other successes… how would you define the happiest moment of your life? While working as a co-author on the book “The Jersey Effect”, I had the opportunity to ask Tony Dungy the question, “What was one of the happiest moments of your life?” And for the next four minutes he answered. The answer he gave me had a lot less to do with football, success, money or fame.
It was revealing and it might help you understand why you are happy today… or why you are not. Listen here:

Without anything but a prompting from God through Scripture, Ken Turner made a “cold call” on a jail where he assumed there was a teen who needed help. After convincing the guard to let him in, he met an administrator who had been praying for someone just like Ken to come and help the young men in that detention center who were asking her to send someone like Ken. The rest of the story is just as exciting and you’ll hear Ken tell it this week on FIRST PERSON.
Be sure to stay for the whole program as Ken tells the story of “Daniel”, a seemingly hopeless young man who was in jail and beyond reach– except for the reach of God’s love.
Be sure to visit Ken’s ministry website here where you will learn more of what you can do to help troubled, fatherless youth with the life-changing power of the Gospel.
You can make a difference that will last for eternity by giving to bring the gospel to hundreds of youth.
90% of the youth we serve are fatherless.
70% of youth in juvenile detention have committed “crimes of survival” meaning they are in trouble for choosing to do something to help them survive. Things such as stealing food because they are hungry or skipping school to try to support their family in poverty are common.
Over 300 teens have accepted Christ as Savior since our ministry started.
Your gift will fund a gift of a student Bible and my spiritual journal which teaches teens how engage with God through His word and really develop a personal relationship with Him. Our goal is to provide the gospel to 29 youth facilities in Tennessee and in Indiana.
$15 provides 1 Bible and 1 Spiritual Journal.
$75 provides 5 teens with a Bible and Spiritual Journal.
$150 provides for 10 teens, $300 provides for 20 teens, $1500 funds an entire detention facility of 100 youth! Click here to make your tax deductible gift today. Click here to set up a monthly donation to provide the gospel month after month to fatherless youth and become a part of our ministry support team!
Be sure to stay for the whole program as Ken tells the story of “Daniel”, a seemingly hopeless young man who was in jail and beyond reach– except for the reach of God’s love.
