Not HiringExperienced professionals aren't the only workers struggling to find jobs. In July, 51.1 percent of Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 years old were unemployed, according to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This marks the first time since 1948, when the government first started collecting this data, that less than half of all U.S. youth were employed in July.

 Boarded up houseCurrent estimates say that there are approximately 3.5 million homeless Americans. There are also 18.9 million vacant homes. That means that for every homeless person in America there are 5 empty houses. Neglected homes are at best a waste of resources and at worst immoral in the face of a homeless population larger than Connecticut.

See how one organization is partnering with others and making a difference in the fight on extreme poverty.

Congratulations Drug-Free Communities Grantees

Submitted by Jeffrey Rodman

Last night the grantees were announced for the Drug-Free Communities Support Program.

Here-4-You Christian Grant Consulting was successful in securing FIVE out of the SIX grants on which we worked. We secured all THREE of the grants that were fully written and developed by Here-4-You Christian Grant Consulting and TWO of the THREE proposals on which we consulted. The clients we consulted with received an easy-to-follow outline for writing the grant, a comprehensive review of the proposal, and scoring of the application using the same scoring system used by the Drug-Free Communities Support Program.

Jesus Breathes and we live

Submitted by Christine Sine

Yesterday I wrote a new post about breathing prayers.  I talked about the fact God breathed life into us so that we became living beings.   Then I started work on a new article for my book To Garden with God which I intend to revise and update for next year.  I was researching the gospel of John and the theme of re-creation in Christ that is strong throughout the book.
