My Name is Samantha, I met the Eason Family During the month of December in the year of 2018. They where recruiting youth for their program. When inquired about the services they offered I knew right then that it was a perfect fit for me and my 5 kids and 2 grands. My 16 year old daughter had 2 year old and a new born which lived with me she drop out of school and needed to return to receive her diploma. Through the YWAM Finish Strong Academic Program not only did my two oldest girls graduated high school but I receive my diploma as well and my CNA certificate I am now doing great with my career returning soon to nursing school. My family and I was going thru hardship in need of assistance. Though them we were blessed with Christmas Toys, financial assistance, high school diplomas and food for my family now I am a volunteer and she has become a mother figure to me and a grandparent to my kids.

Testimonies About Youth With A Mission
Elizabeth Kershaw
HATS 
OFF TO THE YOUTH WITH A MISSION OUTREACH INC. Finish Strong Program,
The first thing I would like to say is, Angela Eason is my like mother to me, and I trusted her with my children. When I sent my kids to her program, I was not expecting the results so quickly. They have completed their life management course alone with their high school diploma. My son finished at the top of his class, and both of my children (Fayth Amber Kershaw, and Dylan Joshua Kershaw) graduated with honors. They are doing extra great. So, I am very proud of them and proud of my God mother. This program helps youths in the community accomplish their goals of retaining a high school diploma, especially when they feel academically challenged. I can honestly say this program works all you Put your mind to it stay focused and just do it Liz Kershaw aka BESTSELLER. Thank you so much for a program that works Shilo and Angela Eason for the Youth With A Mission Outreach you guys are truly Making A world of Difference.

My Saturday night musing…I love humanity engrossed in POSITIVITY & HOPE…
This evening, I was honored to be the graduation commencement speaker for the “Finish Strong” program. The program helps individuals between the ages of 16-24 years old, who didn’t finish school go through their program to earn a high school diploma. The program was extended to help a couple of the parents who had students in the program, and they also successfully graduated tonight! Learning of their various ‘whys’ as to why they dropped out of school was dark but thank God for his light! God’s word is a lamp for our feet and light on our path… after dedication and hard work, they all finished strong and graduated today!
As they entered the room during the processional, I became emotional because I saw myself 30 years ago, walking down the aisle graduating after overcoming insurmountable challenges, just as they have.
The room was full of pure joy and happiness. These resilient women are on their way to fulfilling their destinies, what a gift it was to witness.
A special shout out to the founders of the program, Shilo and Angela Cox Eason. They have literally conducted training sessions in their garage to help students to achieve their goals, wow!
I love grassroot organizations who are in the trenches reaching those who just need a second chance… not a handout but a hand UP.
The race is not given to the swift, nor the battle to the strong ~Ecclesiastes 9:11
This means that even if you are not the smartest, strongest, most knowledgeable, or best looking in the natural, God CAN still give you good success when you depend on HIS grace.

Ways to Help

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to express my enthusiastic support for Youth with A Mission Outreach, a non-profit organization located in Jacksonville, FL. Their mission is to rebuild the lives of families in our community by helping them become self-sufficient through their programs. I have been a volunteer and financial donor for the organization for the past four years, and I have been incredibly impressed with the work that they do in our community.
Youth with a Mission Outreach provides a range of programs and services to help youth who are facing difficult circumstances such as abuse, neglect, poverty, and lack of self-esteem. One of the most impactful programs is their Young Entrepreneur Leading Productively program. This program teaches young people the skills they need to become successful business owners, empowering them to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve financial independence.
In addition to its entrepreneurial program, Youth with a Mission Outreach also offers a high school graduate program called Finish Strong, which encourages youth who have dropped out of school to return and receive their high school diploma. Many students go on to attend college and receive scholarships to help pay for their education, thanks to the support and guidance they receive through this program. This program is especially important for those who come from single-parent households or other challenging backgrounds, as it provides them with the opportunity to further their education and pursue their dreams.
Furthermore, the organization has a heartwarming Christmas toy drive that supplies gifts to youth in the community, helping to brighten their holiday season. Many families look forward to this event because it brings hope and happiness to youth in the community who may not otherwise receive gifts during the holiday season.
Finally, Youth with a Mission Outreach has a production company called YWAM-BAM Productions, where students learn media arts and stage presence. Their performances, which are filled with inspiration, are presented at nursing homes, schools, and group homes, providing entertainment and joy to those in our community who need it most.
In summary, Youth with a Mission Outreach is a vital organization that is making a real difference in the lives of youth in our community. I believe that their work is essential in empowering individuals to reach their full potential. I urge you to support their efforts and help them continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those they serve. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Jessica Griffin
