SCOUT EXECUTIVE -JAMBOREE JOURNEY


“He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

PRAY - Program of Religious Activities for Youth

I have the honor to serve as the current President of the PRAY board, www.praypub.org.  P.R.A.Y.'s mission statement is to "foster the Christian growth of children, youth, and families through churches and youth serving agencies." Everything that the P.R.A.Y. national board does is centered on the two parts of this mission statement: collaborations between churches and agencies, and the P.R.A.Y. program.

 Here is a video of our director, Jason Noland working with youth at the Duty to God and Country tent.
