When you come in contact with anybody, it would be a good idea to form a new habit. Look them in the eyes, hold up two fingers (a peace sign,) smile and say, "It's good to see ya!" If you do that it will leave a lasting impression. Many young people do not feel respected by older folks. Can you spare a few seconds to smile and speak five words that can change a life?
All we are asking you to do is form a new habit that will only take a few seconds. Yes, if you come in contact with many people it will take a lot of your time. Can you walk and talk? We are only asking you to multi-task with a few waves of your hands, a few waves of your tongue and a few smiles.
Please consider taking a few seconds to smile and wave at everyone you meet - especially young people. You will not lose any time in your day, in fact your day just might seem more pleasant with all of the smiling you will do! A few seconds is all it takes to make someone feel respected. A few seconds will begin to build into a minute as positive relationships are built and the world becomes a better place because you took a few seconds to smile and wave.
Thanks for your time. Go smile and wave at somebody. #JLYASDW
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.
