BWAP - BROTHERS WITH A PURPOSE
Overview and Positional Structure
 
BWAP - Brothers With A Purpose
            The long-term goal of the BWAP program is to teach young men how to be Christ-centered role models who mentor the next generation. By helping young men in this age group to build solutions to poverty and violence, they will help future generations avoid destructive life cycles that have plagued America's inner-cities. 
 
BWAP Senior Game Plan
            Each week the young men 16-30 yrs. old will play basketball from 7-8:15 pm. At approximately 8:15 pm, we call half-time and the young men move into another room to listen to a Life Direction Speaker. Each week a guest speaker will give a 9-minute talk on one or more of components of the YWAP Building Character program. The speech will only last 9 minutes and is called a 9MD - 9 Minute Direction. Possible speakers include: Business owners, Law Enforcement, Pastors, Teachers, College and Military Recruiters, Professional Athletes and young people who have been a part of the BWAP Character Program. The presentation is 9 minutes, but the guys are given the opportunity to enter into more personal discussions after the initial program. After the speaker is done food is served as a family meal. Any remaining time is then used during a return to the basketball court. Approximate duration of BWAP is 2.5 hrs.
            As an extension of the relationships that we form with these young men, several relationship building activities occur each week. We offer weekly Bible studies called "YWAP Character Building for Coaches." Monthly birthday celebrations, opportunities to attend church and special events also happen each month.

    Bob is a BWAP Director and an old school ball player. His dream was to play in the NBA, but somebody told him that NBA really meant 
    "No Bob's Allowed."
     Now he plays in a BWAP League teaching character on the basketball courts of life. JLYASDW
