Youth Detention Intervention Program
The Youth Detention Intervention Program seeks to ensure that every Mississippi detained juvenile is impacted by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
By informing them of their influencers; the world system, the flesh, and the spiritual enemy, we can help them see that their liberation comes from the Lord, who has provided a deliverer, Jesus Christ. We want them to see that Jesus Christ not only provides the necessary deliverance from the punishment of our sins but also deliverance from the power of our sins over our lives, enabling us to live sanctified and fruitful lives for the Lord.
Our goal is to serve every detained youth.
We are currently serving facilities in these counties:
- Hinds
- Rankin
- Yazoo
- Washington
- Sunflower
