Next Chapter of Violence Prevention

Join us on a mission that’s close to our hearts at South Street Ministries. Luch Griffin, our Youth Engagement Specialist, has shared his journey and the deep, personal impact of his work. From in-home interventions to fostering faith and stability, Luch is greatly impacting young lives and preparing youth in Akron to lead their peers with compassion and strength. As we face the end of specific funding this year, we’re reaching out to our community for support. Through your generosity, you can help us sustain these crucial efforts to guide our youth, strengthen our neighborhoods, and help prevent violence.

PRAY WITH US 

Your commitment to prayer plays an essential role in our mission to rejuvenate community, economy, and faith. As we navigate the paths ahead, our staff, team, and board members are deeply engaged in prayerful planning. We would be grateful for you to come alongside us in prayer. Here are some key prayer points for your reflection and support:

  1. 1. Vision: We are spending time this year as a team to plan, pray, and prepare for the future and the many programs we run. Pray for God’s direction and good.
  2. 2. Sustainability: As we grow, we desire to support our staff equitably. Pray for the provision of South Street Ministries and God’s will be done God’s way through God’s provision and people!
  3. 3. Youth: The South Street team faces new challenges working at the heart of families, youth, and community dynamics.
  4. 4. Reentry: Coming home from incarceration is a challenging process — pray that God empowers and enables full restoration in the lives of the women and men coming home and restoring their lives!
  5. 5. Community: Uplift South Akron and Summit Lake as places where we live, work, worship, and play. Pray for God’s peace and good in our neighborhoods!
  6. 6. The South Street team: Pray that the love of God will be fully lived in and out of our lives!
