Faith, creativity, and prayer! 💕🙏Case Manager Shanell guided the girls in creating their own prayer boards—a meaningful way to express their prayers, hopes, and goals while remembering they can bring every concern to God. Each board serves as a personal reminder to keep praying and trusting Him as they grow. 💚

“Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” — Psalm 62:8 (NIV)

Their prayer boards offer a creative way to pour out their hearts to God.

We’re grateful to celebrate our Executive Director Chris Yancy becoming a Live Life Together mentor and being matched with Cayden Herron.

Chris, Mentor Sharon, Volunteer Coordinator Tonya had the opportunity to visit Cayden and his family. Their time together was filled with prayer, laughter, and meaningful moments. Cayden was also gifted a beautiful handmade blanket made with love by our receptionist, Ms. Gail.

Chris, thank you for investing your time, encouragement, and guidance into Cayden. We’re excited to see how God continues to work through this mentoring relationship!

At JIFF, Case Manager Shanell took an existing bulletin board display and gave it a fresh new look using UNO cards!

The theme: “Do U NO Jesus?” ❤️💛💚💙

As part of our program, we look for creative ways to engage our youth while reinforcing faith, positive decision-making, and personal growth. This board is a fun reminder that knowing Jesus can help guide our choices, strengthen our faith, and remind us that we are never alone.

Just a little creativity can turn an everyday space into something meaningful and inspiring for our youth.
