A Dream Deferred by Langston HughesLangston Hughes homepage What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load. Or does it explode? Recently I was talking with my daughter.We were joking about my age and my dreams. She queried whether I had been praying the same prayer for 25 years. I looked at her and without hesitation I simply replied yes. |

I have been visiting churches and youth groups and surprisingly it has not been the individuals that I intended to interview but the individuals that I did not that have given me the most powerful testimonies. The youth are teaching me and I have opened my heart and my mind to their thoughts, concerns and ministry. The most important point that I am learning is that there is a great need for mentorship organizations and quality life centers ran by Christian ministies. The church must enter the 21st century and understand that we cannot reach youth through the old methods. |

Chapter 1 Do not Get It Twisted Whoever Did Not Mean those that we as Christians think are Worthy of Eternal Life. John 3:16,17 NIV For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:15-17New King James Version (NKJV) that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. |

W The Rejuvenation of theChurch: Meeting the Needs of our Youth through Christian Ministry I was baptized at the end of vacation bible school when I was in the fifth grade. Iwas 10 years old. I remember vividly the day I announced to the church that I was ready to be baptized. The minister asked me if I believed in God. I responded immediately without hesitation that I did. He asked why. With the innocence and faith of a child I said just because I do. There was no clear cut reason. |

The Rejuvenation of the Church: Meeting the Needs of our Youth through Christian Ministry In Septembermy church had what is typically called a revival but it was instead called rejuvenation.Its goal was to rejuvenate the congregation. It was a time for spiritual renewal. It was a time of reaffirmation of our faith and an acknowledgment of God’s grace and mercy. For the last week my heart has been heavy. When the latest reading and math scores for 4th and 8th grade students was released I was saddened not only by our failure to educate our children but by the broad gap between Caucasians and Hispanics and African Americans. |
