Thank you for your gift to the 2024 Golf Marathon. COYFC's Juvenile Justice Ministry conducts programming
serving residents (probationary youth) at five detention centers in Central
Ohio. Each day there are approximately 200 teens in one of these facilities. A
team of approximately 45 adult volunteers and 2 full time staff serve in this capacity.
Recently a young man who is being held in the Multi-County
Juvenile Detention Center shared these words with me: "It is really cool
to know that people we don't know are praying for us while we are in detention.
It can get very lonely in 'lock-up'. Realizing there are individuals out there
that care about us means so much."
We’re so grateful that we can share the message of God’s love and hope with "high-risk" teens throughout Central Ohio. And we thank God for you as well for joining with us in this mission. James 1:27
