One of our best and most effective ministries is a drug intervention program through the local school system. We are not allowed to mention Jesus or pray or anything else that resembles Christianity and we honor those restrictions as the price of entry. However, we can and do tell them who we are and where we are. Many of those kids end up comming to our services. Many have been saved at our alters.
Friendships will be made, Jesus's name will be spread.
