We launched into this year expectant for big things to happen. We are in a new time of growth, gaining ground, and going deeper.
Across our city, we have this big dream to help young people reach their dreams, grow as leaders, and transform hurting communities. So, we set out this year with big goals-to reach more young people, to bring others (many others) into the mission, to grow in the places we are and into new cities where we are not (yet!).
And though there are certainly big battles we face, we are not without hope, our driving force. As we go out into hurting neighborhoods, the numbers of young people in vulnerable situations are shocking. Yet, we continue to find the impact of Walkthroughs and small groups and meaningful relationships. Every day, we consistently encounter God's help in both the practical and the spiritual.
Our mission is a big one, and so our hope must be, too. We are excited for what this year will bring and grateful for all you do as part of the BWAB Community. There are many opportunities for all of us to grow, gain ground, and go deeper this year. We look forward to going out to impact our communities together.
