WHERE THERE IS HELP THERE IS HOPE

Ty Schenzel grew up in Fremont, NE, but he has the heart and vision to minister to inter-city kids. Pastor Schenzel has been working to improve the hope and lives of youth in north Omaha for nearly fifteen years. He established the Hope Center for Kids about ten years ago, which now has a membership of about 400. Schenzel stated the mission of the center is to bring hope to urban youth b! y leading them to personal faith in Jesus Christ and to the fulfillment of their destiny. The Hope Center creates a safe place in North Omaha where children can grow spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually. This is done through the center facilities, community volunteers, community donations, and much commitment from many.

Schenzel noted that we must get involved in the ministry to inter-city kids in some way to prevent personal tragedies, to help them recognize their potential, and to break the family cycle of institutional dependence. If we don’t help them directly, we end up paying anyway through more prisons and social programs. Schenzel invited everyone to call up and arrange a tour of the Hope Center for Kids (402-341-HOPE).
