Youth who have grown in trying circumstances such as sleeping on cold floors, never having enough to eat and being the object of an adult's anger have emotional barriers. Often they feel guilty as if these circumstances are their fault but most also experience unforgiveness. Today's Outreach to Children volunteers are the youth of OTC from 10 years ago. They have learned that there can be no permanent change in how you think, until you can forgive. Once someone is free from the hatred and bitterness that unforgiveness feeds, their mind is no longer clouded. Education, relationships, work ethics and hope for the future are all possible.
The OTC Project works to eliminate the physical barriers to success but our greatest privilege is to guide young people into a relationship with Jesus that brings hope and change to each individual who carries it on to their others.
With You Lord there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve You.
