Dear Beloved Son Light Family,

 

The Protestant Chaplaincy Ministry within the six facilities of the Orange County Juvenile Justice Complex continues to be blessed by God!

 

 Most of the youth who are incarcerated are lost in despair and hopelessness. Life has no meaning and they live life as if this day alone is all to be considered. There is no regret for the past and no anxiety for the future. They are time bound by a tremendous desire to pursue pleasure in the now.

 

When a troubled youth begins to think about more abstract concepts like the meaning of life, why am I here, and what is the significance of mankind, they begin to reach out for truth. It is during these times that God provides tremendous grace and reveals Himself. His grace provides the faith for youth to believe the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ. Once a youth has placed their trust in Christ, they are born again by the Holy Spirit and given a new nature within them. God begins to work from the inside out, transforming youth from hedonistic, pleasure-driven felons to other-directed children of God. It has been my good pleasure to watch God work in the lives of troubled youth spanning four decades. God is both good and powerful. He indeed changes lives !

 

Son Light Christian Center has been an integral part of this ministry since 1982. For eighteen years the Son Light family has prayed for incarcerated youth and this ministry. Consistent monthly support has come to personally provide for my family. Living as a home missionary I am dependent upon the Lord to work through His family to provide for my family and fund a ministry to six facilities.  Son Light has been an extremely faithful partner with this work and it can be said emphatically that Son Light has a heart for home missions and loving the unlovely of society.

 

Thank you Son Light Family and may God continue to richly bless you.
