Foundational verses

Isaiah 55:1 -"Wait and listen, those who are thirsty, come to the waters. He who has no way to purchase, come and eat..."

Isaiah 58: 6-12 - Is this not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break froth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.....&..39; if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell in. (Sun springing from clouds, Holy Spirit rain coming down upon teens worshipping and lifting hands, soaking it up, dry plant, and show plants growing and blossoming as rain hits them....?)

Isaiah 61:1-4--The Spirit of God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable day of the Lord, and the day of vengence of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who morn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.

Jn. 7:38 - He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water..."

Jn. 4:10-14 -"Jesus answered and said to her, 'If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'give me to drink', you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water. The woman said to Him, 'Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do you get this living water?...whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of living water springing up into everlasting life."

We will also seek to transition high risk teens back into their homes and society as solid citizens and effective, contributing members of both.

We Work with Girls (12-18), Boys same age will be added as God provides facilities and provisions.
