TO BENEFIT Southern CO Youth for Christ’s Juvenile Justice Ministries!!
Mark your calendar for a meaningful night of music as Bebo Norman and More than Music put on a spring concert to benefit incarcerated youth supported by Southern Colorado Youth for Christ’s Juvenile Justice Ministries.

His work has received numerous Dove Award nominations and praise from popular media outlets. Skip Rice of the morning show on KTLF, and Maui of The Q will host the concert along with opening act Stephanie Pauline, w/ Joe Uveges and The More than Music Band.
THE NEED:
If we, as a community, don’t intervene in these young people’s lives they will be the people our society has to carry for years to come. It is not too late for many of these young people to have a future and a hope and the time is ripe for them to come to this realization when they are in this place of vulnerability, separated from so many hard realities of their upbringing. We are working to try to help the church understand the problem and what we can do as a community to help.
Many youth in the U.S. juvenile justice system have been exposed to myriad traumatic events, as victims or witnesses, and developed PTSD and other disorders, which impacted their ability to achieve normal developmental milestones in a timely manner. This exposure to trauma increased their risk for substance use and subsequent victimization, and aggression.
· 80% are from fatherless homes.
· 55% were abused or neglected as children.
· 50% have family members who have seriously abused drugs in the past 5 years.
· More than 50% have family members who had been incarcerated.
· 75% of the juvenile sex offenders have been victims of sexual abuse.
· 95% of teenage prostitutes have been sexually abused.
We are going to do our best in this forum to give A VOICE - A FACE - TO THIS NEED and to help bring real solutions through the gift of healing relationships for these kids. THAT IS WHAT Southern CO YFC DOES: heal young people through real face to face relationships.
The YFC chapter in Southern CO works exclusively with incarcerated kids, doing one on one mentoring and weekly Bible studies in juvenile detention facilities (15 of them) all around southern CO. YFC helps these young people learn valuable life skills and receive the love they so desperately need. Southern CO Youth for Christ is truly a Matthew 25 ministry. They are THE organization in juvenile detention centers in our area being the hands and feet of Christ for us.
This is a DON’T MISS concert experience. It’s going to be a powerful time of vision casting and great music!
See you there!
