Whats the Need?

Whats the Need On every newspage and magazine you will find at least 1 article that talks about young people either in a negative light or in an attempt to highlight the lack of provision, direction or support that young people now get.

We are told that Britain has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in Europe and also has the highest number of underage drinkers in Europe. We are reminded constantly that boys are growing up without a father or have multiple fathers without establishing a bond.

We know that each young person has potential no matter what they have been told by parents, schools, police or other authorities. 

Binge drinking among Britain's teenagers has reached chronic proportions with more than half of teenagers having binged in the past month

Daily Mail Article 26th March 2009

The need is this -  so many young people, with tremendous giftings and talents, are growing up without direction, love support or even basic understanding that then can fulfill their potential, they can use their giftings, that they are valued.

The need is that even in Sutton Coldfield, there are young people who need support in many areas, emotionally, physcially and spiritually - we see it everyday.

Money may buy many things, but not a good friend, a conisistent father or mother figure, true happiness or security. It just covers things........ and we want to uncover these things, get alongside those who are marginalized, broken, hurting, lost........
