Real Problems

Our area’s children are facing significant challenges. Specifically in the Ozarks, divorce patterns, children living in poverty & single-parent homes are very prevalent issues. Our mission is to come alongside these kids by offering a Christ-centered mentoring program, nurturing the whole child - body, mind, and soul.
