What Murphy Outback Youth Ministries does
Mission
To reach youth with the salvation message of Jesus Christ.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The practical needs of youth are met where kids can feel safe before and after school. This is done five mornings and two afternoons per week at a local youth center. On the afternoons, after school free hot food is made available to all youth present. A breakfast is served one morning per week. Approximately 75-100 students attend the youth center each week. Relationship and ministry needs are addressed through both formal gospel messages and relationships developed between adult volunteers and the students. Various games are provided for the youth to play at the youth center as an alternative to parties and destructive behavior. As needed, clothing is provided to students from items donated to the youth center. Students who come to know Jesus Christ as their savior are encouraged to attend a church of their choosing.
