The Toronto Observer: Community initiatives offer local youth life-changing opportunities

Hi team,

Just wanted to let you know that I was recently interviewed by an online newspaper called 'The Toronto Observer' in response to one of my blog posts regarding a past youth of mine, Curtis...who used to be a camper, was hired later as a StreetLeader and is on his way to completing his first year in Queen's University (he received a few scholarships to attend there as mentioned in a previous blog).

The interviewer, Shantal, knew this youth (who was difficult in the past) and was surprised with his transformation since she used to work with UrbanPromise Toronto or in his community (before my time). This led to a great discussion with her confused and surprised reactions to my comments that it wasn't about..."modifying flesh behaviour" but witnessing a "new creation"because of Jesus and because of the Gospel.

Please pray for Curtis and for Shantal.

Enjoy the article!
