WHY CHANGE THE NAME OF A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM?
BWAP has been a YWAP Program for several years. YWAP has been a successful ministry for over 15 years. Good ministries maintain a prayer focus as they adapt to God's leading through seasons of cultural change.
When you look at the picture above, many things might be apparent. One of them is that BWAP is a lot more than basketball.
Athletics is only a relationship building tool. We use basketball to gain an entry point into a trusting relationship that builds opportunities for young men to reach for their God-given potential.
Purpose in life should be more than just staying alive. Our goal in the BWAP Program is to help 18-30 yr. old young men become Christ-centered role models who mentor the younger generation. Another way to say that would be; "We help old gangsters change their lives and teach them how to mentor "wannabe gangsters" by acting like a big brother instead of a gangster."

BROTHERS WITH A PURPOSE
Rev. Will Coplin believes that God would have us change the meaning of BWAP to "BROTHERS WITH A PURPOSE." He came to that belief after he prayed. We agree for good reason, brothers hold each other accountable and are supposed to love one another.
"If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen."
1 John 4:20
"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer,
and you know that no murderer
has eternal life abiding in him."
1 John 3:15
Thanks for your time and praying for the young people at YWAP. Go do something nice for somebody.
Jesus loves you and so do we.
