Young people can avoid violence with hotdogs and prayer.
     We don't teach them to protest, we teach them the power of prayer.
     A lot of folks stopped by and nobody argued.
​     Prayer changes the atmosphere of a city.

   Young men are hanging out on street corners and changing lives.
​     When a young man prays, the atmosphere of a city is impacted.
​     Anyone who's interested in helping as a YWAP Volunteer - WE NEED YOU!
     People who can cook, pray or act as waiters and watchers are needed.
     For more information about how you can become a YWAP supporter and volunteer, please leave a message or call us at 716-830-8240. Thank s for your time. Go do something nice for somebody.
​Jesus loves you and so do we. #grillandaprayer #ywap #JLYASDW

     Young men in Buffalo, New York put their hearts on display for the world on a city street corner.
They became vulnerable, - they prayed.
​     When they smiled and waved at folks passing by, many stopped. What the people received from these young men was truly life-changing.
​     Almost everyone who passed by that Buffalo street corner recognized the presence of God. They were given prayer, a hotdog and a Jesus bracelet.
​     Prayer changes lives and impacts the atmosphere of a city. The windows of heaven opened over a Buffalo street corner. We're proud of these young men for putting their Christ-like character on display.
​     If you would like to have these young men share their stories at your church, school, community center or business, please call us; 716-830-8240.
​     What's God's purpose for your life? Can you pray, mentor, volunteer or help support the growth of Christ-like character in young people? Time is of the essence. Call YWAP or leave a message.

Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody.
​Jesus loves you and so do we. ​

     Young people can change a city. History reveals that revival begins with young people.
​     When people humble themselves and pray, heaven is opened and a city will be moved to love.
     Accomplishing great things as leaders begins with doing small things as servants.
​     Praying on the streets of a city known for violence, drugs and poverty is a small thing, but so is a mustard seed. 
​You can be involved in a small way that helps to create an eternal impact.

1. You can be with us on the street and "watch our backs" as you pray for YWAP to put God first.
2. You can pray for YWAP on 8-2-17 from 5-7 PM from wherever you are.
3. You van help cook.
4. You can be a provider who donates to help with the cost of hotdogs, drinks and everything that goes along with an outdoor grilling. As the young men pray, YWAP volunteers will cook, serve and continue to form prayerful relationships. 

​Please call us to step up and kneel for God to open the windows of heaven. 716-830-8240
Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we.

What: A Grill & A Prayer
When: Wednesday, September 2, 2015

We have formed a collaboration to mentor young men, ages 18+ from the city of Buffalo,
 to help change the focus from crime and violence to hope and a promising future.

“A Grill and A Prayer”  After participating in our “Friends For Life” program, we invite transformed young men, some of whom who were formerly affiliated with a gang, to a busy city street corner where they will provide a free hot dog, drink, and prayer for the purpose of transferring hope to the community residents. Here is a comment from one of our young men: 
“If God can change me, God is able to change anybody!” 

A Grill & A Prayer is a great start to a new life.
