Our Cause on Facebook

Just recently we started a new approach in trying to raise our support. We started a cause on facebook. Our goal is that we can find 10 people to give $25 a month. So far we have had 2 friends step up to the challenge. However it has been more then the money thing. We are finding out that we have a lot of poeple supporting us in prayer and friendship. It has been about a week now and we have grown to more than 130 members. Thank you so much for believing in our cause.

Now that we are at 130 members and growing it truly makes me feel like I have a lot of people cheering us on as we try to raise our monthly support. Every little bit of monthly support helps us to get back into the junior highs and high schools here in Oregon. Thank you Irene and Jb stepping up to the next level in reaching the 385,000 teenagers in Oregon.

I was just at a church this last sunday in a community with no youth ministry in any church. It broke my heart to here that 1 out of 2 students is abused in one way or another. I am excited to say that we are working with our local church to get into that school sometime next school year. Its because of people like you who believe in a cause and more importantly believe in a generation that can change the world. Please continue to pray that we raise our monthly support so we can be released to go to that school next year.

Thanks Wes Sheley

2009 Here We Go!

Now that 2008 is over and 2009 has just begun it gives me a since of a fresh starts. If you are anything like me when a new year starts you kind a feel like you have a chance for a fresh start. This last year has been spent traveling and trying to raise our budget and can I say its been a fun but hard year.

So, 2009 begins the same way 2008 ended however I feel like I have a fresh start. I am excited to think that I will be fully funded this year and will be able to focus just on seven projects in our schools instead of worrying about how our bills will be paid. Our Goal is to find 100 people to pledge at least $25 a month. This will put us where we need to be so we can focus on our mission field next school year.

It is hard to slow down the process for our communities when it comes to reaching the schools but first things first. People and churches are seeing this need. Just this month alone we have been able to pick up over $250 in monthly support. What does that mean? We only have 90 more people to join us.

I get emails all the time from teenagers that are asking for help for their mission field, their school. I am not ashamed to say that I need help to get back on mine. Please pray that God will open the hearts of many for the 385,000 teenagers in Oregon and get behind us not just in prayer but in financial support.
