Below is the Health and Wellness group! This is a great opportunity for the teens to present to their community what they have been learning !! Not only are they gaining knowledge but they are able to be a voice!!

What's Happening Now

This week, the teens are continuing on with the Believe 2 Become program. They are learning more on what it means to be a community and the resources that are available to a community. What makes a community a community? What vital things make up the central components of a community? Through this we have challenged the teens to be more aware of their surrondings and realize what makes their communities specifically unique. Also going on this week is time management, where we take teens through a week of thier lives and have them write down everything that they do!
What's Happening Now
Believe 2 Become is now in week 4, and the teens are over halfway done with the program! We feel privelaged to be able to work with these teens, and it's our goal to continue walking with them the rest of the summer. Already the staff here at GRIL is seeing differences being made in the lives of these teenagers. Every day is a unique experience where 45 lives come together to challenge themselves and ask tough questions. As these teens go through this program, a familiar verse pops into mind. Proverbs 27:17 which states, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." We have seen throughout this program, teens stepping out of their comfort zone to challenge themselves and their peers in their everday beliefs and values. We have also seen the awareness level with how people act and treat each other raised as well, and it has been an encouraging thing to see. So as the summer continues, we look forward to continued journey which we are on with the Believe 2 Become program. Throughout it all, God is faithful!!

What's Happening Now!
This week in GRIL U we had small groups with the teens focusing on prayer and spending time with God. The teens really enjoyed the quiet time. As they spread around the building, we could feel God's presence! Some of the teens sang a song of worship, while others prayed or read their Bible. The CLP and Youth Worker program participants met on Friday and learned about Resource Networking.
