We offer many ways to help the church body, especially the youth pastor, as we want your youth program to succeed!
Let us talk to your church about how we can provide:
Youth Leader Recruitment - Get more leaders from your existing church body
Youth Leader Training/Structure - Train those leaders with tools and a vision - then keep them going
Community Events - Spend more time with the students and less time planning events by using the opportunities we provide. These are a great way for small group leaders to connect with their group outside of the church.
Fundraisers - Find out how you can use our turnkey fundraiser that brings in big bucks for your students so more kids can go to your camps,
mission trips or service projects!

The Relational Tangible Object
In ministry some have found that its hard to measure effectiveness because relationships are viewed as intangible objects. I however disagree! I believe a relationship is a tangible object. Its who you turn to and lean on when things get tough.
Its our relationship with Jesus that has saved us. We needed saving and Jesus, in relationship, put skin on and came to our rescue. A guy named Thomas once put his hands in His nail holes - that's tangible.
We have been sent to be the tangible Jesus. Help us make that possible. Your donations and support help us to train up and send out college and young adults that are committed to walking students through their toughest years. We want to train up and send you out as well. Lets begin our relationship. Times are tough. Let's lean on each other.
From the mouth of our mentors:
Davey and I have been sailing for a few months now at Lake Mission Viejo. God has given me a catch twenty-two circumstance in our sailing outings. The wind at LMV isn't the greatest, not to mention the most reliable. But as it turns out, that's not a bad thing. Sometimes we have a hoot, hiking out (that's when the boat is tipping, and you lean out over the water to keep from capsizing) - those are the times we come for the adrenalin rush.
Others times the water is dead calm. Times like these are when the deep spiritual conversations spark and I really get him. God has blessed me by using me in Davey's life, and he is slowly becoming more comfortable with our conversations.

The Highest Recommendation
If your faith is looking to be challenged and grown or you are seeking to understand why we do what we do at Project Hangout then I have a recommendation for you. This is the kind of book that I am telling everyone about and am thankful that Al Seibert told me about it. The book is an easy read as it is broken down into devotional (1 page style) morsels that you can chew on each day. The author, E. Stanley Jones summed up the book in its title, "The Word Became Flesh." It will challenge a person of any faith to live the way God intended and yet it flies in the face of the traditional church structure. Enjoy the reading, I hope it turns your world upside down.
