     Youth movements directed by God alter the course of history and eternity.
     We invite you to be a part of the Launch of a Youth Movement at The Bread Of Life Center Of Hope.
     A lot of folks have spoken about how to stop the violence and addictive behaviors that plague our youth.
    Programs that are Christ-centered, teach Biblical leadership skills and keep young people busy are highly successful. 
          This Sunday at The Bread Of Life Center Of Hope, the Directors of Youth With A Purpose will present the structure of a plan that builds a Holy Spirit driven youth movement that we pray will become an Apostolic Move of God. Please join us at 10 AM. 1638 South Park Avenue, Buffalo, NY. ​
For more information about how you can become a YWAP supporter and volunteer, please leave a message or call us at 716-830-8240. Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we. #ywapbuffalo #ywap4God #ywap716 #JLYASDW

    You would think the Sharp Edgez Barbers were shaving years off the lives of senior citizens along with their hair!
     When you looked around the room at old folks getting haircuts and their nails done, all you could see was smiles.
     As one smiling lady sat in her wheelchair she happily yelled: "This was the best thing that ever happened here!"
     Plenty of folks helped Mrs. Triggs and volunteers from the None Like You Community Outreach Team treat the seniors at High Pointe to a special day. YWAP, The Commodore Perry Tenant Council, a staff member from Senator Kennedy's office, City Comptroller Mark Schroeder, the Staff at High Pointe, Stan Simpson and the fabulous folks from the Sharp Edgez Barber Institute. You can find them at www.sharpedgez.com or 716-8783-3343.
     Upcoming events this week that YWAP is involved in are:
          Thurs  5/30  5pm     Community Outreach with My Father's House at the downtown Buffalo Bus Station
          Sat     6/2     3pm     First Saturday Worship Picnic & Praise  
          Sun    6/3     10am   Launch of a new Youth Program at The Bread of Life Center of Hope Sunday Service. ​

Youth From The Bread of Life Center of Hope Are Shaping WNY Destiny

5/23/2018

0 Comments

 
     Youth from the Bread of Life Center of Hope put their talents on display at Lackawanna High School tonight.
     When Teachers really care about their Students, their efforts bring music to our ears!
     As some of us get to be old-heads, it's a beautiful sight to see young people pursuing excellence.
     Parents, make sure you tell your children you are proud of them. Make as many of their school events as possible. They need to see your face in the audience to know you care. 
     It was a beautifully musical day in the neighborhood at Lackawanna HS. Teachers & Students were tremendously polished. Two of the students- Robert Greaves & Michael Greaves Jr. are also members of a youth group at
Bread of Life Church Center of Hope in South Buffalo. Young people are making their mark on WNY & soon---the world!

Behind The Scenes With YWAP & Towne Automotive

5/21/2018

     You probably don't know about the many things that go on behind the scenes of a large community-wide event.
     Wheels are one of the most important things in a ministry when they're connected to plans that serve people.
     All over Buffalo, the YWAP Van has transported people and supplies for events like Mother's Day.
     Plenty of folks help serve in a large community collaboration that's growing everyday. Towne Automotive has been the Official YWAP Supplier of Wheels for many years. We're grateful to the folks at Towne and we'd like to tell you a few of the things that happen in the YWAP Van.
  • Transport young people to and from many events all over Buffalo (we mentor them as we drive.).
  • Visit prisons.
  • Pickup & deliver Mother's Day Flowers.
  • Offer rides to the elderly.
  • Pick up donations from the Buffalo City Mission.
  • Deliver donations to St, Luke's and other ministries.
  • Deliver supplies, food and people to Community events for residents in the Buffalo Housing Projects.
  • Transport and counsel young people for court-ordered community service.
  • Our YWAP Van is always available to other ministries and community organizations.  
  • Moving furniture to families in need.
These are just a few of the behind the scenes moments from YWAP. Thank you to all of the folks who help us without being seen by the community. We appreciate you, AND ~~~We Love Our Towne!

Can A Move of God Begin With A Chicken Dinner?

5/20/2018

0 Comments

 
     You may have driven by a South Buffalo street corner today and noticed a large group of smiling people.
     When Spring comes in Buffalo, there's an annual right of passage at The Bread of Life Center of Hope.
     As people gather with the Love of God inside them, He shows up in how they treat other people.
     Plenty of groups have chicken dinners, but something special is happening on a little street corner in Buffalo.                When people have an experience of God's Love, their hearts begin to change and that influences the atmosphere in a neighborhood. God moves when there is unity. Love, if you share it He will come!
       Chicken doesn't change a neighborhood, not even a rubber chicken! But something is happening at The Bread of Life Center of Hope. This week on Tuesday there's a meeting about the launch of a new youth ministry program. If you study historical revival - the time periods when God moves in a spectacular way, you will find four main commonalities: 
  1. All revivals start after many years of old-heads sowing the seeds of God's Love.
  2. All revivals start with young people.
  3. All revivals exhibit the contagiousness of the Holy Spirit.
  4. All revivals experience opposition.
          When you add structure to a revival, you end up with an Apostolic Move of God with a lasting impact over generations. If you're looking for a Church where a spark is beginning to glow, stop by The Bread of Life Center of Hope and see if you can help fan it into flames!
“Revive us again, O God! I know you will! Give us a fresh start!
    Then all your people will taste your joy and gladness.” 
Psalm 85:6 The Passion Translation

IT WAS A MOTHER'S DAY BEYOND COMPARE!

5/19/2018

    You wouldn't believe how many ladies were honored for Mother's Day by a group of community organizations.
     When Mrs. Triggs and friends gathered at the Ukrainian Center in Buffalo, NY that was only the beginning.
     A lot of folks helped by donating, serving and delivering flowers, meals, Jesus Wristbands and prayers.
     Police, UB Students, None Like You, Youth With A Purpose and many other community groups came together to make a great day for ladies in Buffalo. Politicians gave awards and Pastors gave prayers. It was a beautiful day in the Buffalo hood!​

     You might be a Mom, act like a Mom or pretend your a Mom. The only thing that matters is that we want to treat all the ladies special on Mother's Day.
​     When a community collaborates, a community celebrates in a big way. None Like You, Youth With A Purpose and a host of other organizations are getting together in a special way.
​     After you've had your nails done, had your fill of some good food and received a beautiful flower, we hope you'll smile and feel special.
​     Please bring your Mom, your Grandmother or your neighbors Mom or find a lady on the street. We'll also have some Jesus Wristbands to help celebrate in a good neighborly way!
     ​The address is 562 Genesee Street, Buffalo, New York ( near the corner of Jefferson Avenue. We will celebrate from 8 AM - 11:30 AM. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!​

YWAP & The National Day of Prayer At Erie Community College

5/3/2018

0 Comments

 
     Youth With A Purpose has been built on prayer for over 17 years.
​     When people pray, life changes.
​     As we prayed with other pastors, faculty and students, our small gathering was enlarged.
     Prayer is a community unifier.
​On the National Day of Prayer 2018 at Erie Community College in Downtown Buffalo, NY the community came together as one. We respected all people regardless of their religion, color of their skin or lack of belief in God. It was a beautiful day in the college hood!
