When folks like Marilyn Gibson combine compassion with action, communities change. She is the founder of Pretty As A Daisy Mentoring and Enrichment Group for young ladies. She is also the leader of W.A.V.E. - Women Against Violence Everywhere.
Army folks know all about the deification of Marilyn from her time spent with them. The young ladies at Youth With A Purpose carry a piece of Marilyn's heart with them as they grow into their own purpose in life.
People with compassion can make a difference - one person at a time. Here's some quotes from her Facebook Page:
"I am a person who loves God, and love his people.
I believe that one person can make a difference.
I love children and I find it my duty to practice and promote, "Each one teach One "
To whom much is given much is required.
Im COOOOOOOOOOOL!"
Thanks Marilyn, Jesus loves you and so do we.
On April 28, 2016, We will hold a BWAP Fundraiser Luncheon from 11am-1pm at City Reach Buffalo, 260 Eggert Road, Buffalo, NY. You'll hear from the young guys at BWAP what they think about BWAP. We will be starting a Foundation that will ensure the permanent sustainability of the YWAP Program. We are unique in many ways - God is doing new things everyday at YWAP.
SPONSORSHIP'S
1. ADOPT A BWAP DINNER - Each Thursday Night at Expressway Assembly we serve a Meal for BWAP. This is an excellent way for your church, youth group or community group to serve some young men from the inner-city. You bring the food and use our kitchen to prepare the food. Our numbers vary between 20 - 40 people each Thursday night.

2. BWAP Adoption - For only $5 per week, you can sponsor a young person from the inner-city between the ages of 18-30 yrs. old. For every $5, a young guy gets over 2 hrs of physical exercise through basketball, a 9MD (9 Minute Life Direction) and a home-style meal. We are a mentoring organization and everything we do is designed to create a more beneficial relationship. We help guys with their education, employment, community service, safe place to live and a relationship with God. Some guys also receive transportation to and from BWAP.

3. 9MD Speaker - If you have some wisdom to pass along to young guys then we would be happy to discuss how you might do that. You would come on a Thursday night and speak for 9 minutes. After your 9 minutes are up, you are welcome to form relationships with the guys as they eat an awesome meal.
