"To Change the behavior you must first change the heart, and the only one who can change the heart is Jesus Christ"
So how do we stop bullying, bad behaviors, substance abuse and teen suicides? By introducing them to Jesus Christ! How do we introduce teens to Jesus? By building relationships with them at the Portal 2:20 Teen Center.
Portal 2:20 Teen Center is a local non-profit ministry serving the teens of Van Wert and surrounding areas since 2017. Even through the events of 2020, our ministry has reached nearly 100 teens and counting through offering a fun and safe place to spend their time.
We have an oppertunity for you to walk along side of us in this ministry journey to help make a lasting and changing impact the lives of teenagers of Van Wert County. Here are a few ways you can partner with us-
⭐️ Financially: We need a steady income to cover our operating expenses. Thanks to our all volunteer staff, our expenses are much lower than the typical non-profit. This ensures all donations go directly into our ministry to the teens.
⭐️ Volunteering: The Great Comission calls us to tell others about Jesus, and through our center you have a captive audience.
⭐️Prayer: Most importantly because we know where 2 or more are gathered, there He is also- and we need God to make His presence known in these Kids' lives.
Please consider as a community of believers in investing into a local mission to make a lasting change in the hearts and minds of teenagers. These are the future of our community.
