Youth Testimonies - IDENTITY!
 
 

I was on the bus to adult court on Good Friday when one of the inmates from the county jail started to curse at the other inmates.  After he was done cursing, he started to yell out on the bus that he was the son of the devil.  As he was saying that I felt the Holy Spirit come in when other inmates started to sing Christian songs.  It’s just so amazing what the Word of God can do for others.  So then after that the inmate who had been cursing didn’t say another word.

A Cry For Help
 
At any given time, approximately 6,200 youth are under Orange County Probation supervision with 700 of these youth incarcerated in the four institutions of the Orange County Juvenile Justice Complex – Juvenile Hall, Youth Leadership Academy, Youth Guidance Center, and Joplin Center. 
 
Many of these youth are forgotten and most do not have concerned Christians in their lives.  Therefore, God can use this time of incarceration to draw a young person to Himself.  Pacific Youth exists to reach out to these troubled youth with the love and gospel of Jesus Christ. Pacific Youth oversees the Protestant Chaplaincy Ministry providing Christian ministry to these youth. 
 
Approximately 13,000 contacts are made each year through church services, Bible studies, special outreaches, and one-on-one biblical counseling, discipleship and mentoring.
