Psalm 1:1-3
"Blessed is the
man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand
in the way of sinners or sit in the seat
of mockers. But his delight is in the law of
the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is
like a
tree planted by streams of water, which yields
its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever
he does
prospers."
The Problems Facing Today's
Youth
 Today's
young people face educational, societal and moral challenges
that did not exist a generation ago. Sadly, today's adults
have often neglected their leadership and mentoring responsibilities
toward our youth, deciding instead to invest in our dreams
and desires. We consider that:
· Over half of all marriages
end in divorce leaving many kids/teens in single parent
households without strong role models
· Even in two parent households,
it is common for both parents to work, leading to "latchkey"
kids
· Much of our society has
turned away from the "spiritual" in the pursuit
of the "material", leading to warped values
It's no surprise that the result
has been . . .
. . . A resurgence
in the abuse of drugs and alcohol
. . . An upswing in teenage
and unwed pregnancies
. . . An increase in gangs
and other criminal activity
. . . Teenage violence,
particularly in schools
. . . An alarming rate
of teen suicides
. . . Too many high school
dropouts
We Believe Our Youth Can Prosper
With all of the outside trappings
found in our culture, it is difficult for today's youth
(even young Christians) to stay on track. We believe that
young Christians need continual support from Christian organizations.
The Players Chapel Program provides support to Christian
individuals and organizations so that they can mentor our
youth.
Honoring God in All We Do
Galatians
5:22-23
"But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self
control. Against such things there is no law."
As a Christian organization, we
serve to honor God always. As such, we follow biblical principles
for conducting business. Simply stated, we strive to always
honor our commitments and to act with integrity and honesty
in all that we do.
