The Missing Link - offering hope to troubled youth & adults

Description

Our Purpose and Mission

To provide counseling and other services to incarcerated adults and juveniles to help them become productive citizens; to minister to the needs of families who have a member in prison; to provide encouragement and guidance to persons recently released from prison; to use the experience gained in such work to help guide young people from paths that lead to prison; to carry forward all of such services in the spirit of the Christian religion; and to do such other things as are appropriate in connection with the foregoing.

Description

This full-time Internet and prison ministry, based in Cleveland, Ohio, was founded in 1983. The Missing Link concentrates on linking troubled youth and adults with life-changing programs around the world, through their 24-hour-accessible, online database of Christian residential programs. Round-the-clock practical help for troubled youth and adults, and those who minister to them, can be found on their web site. Their online Lorain County Free-Net Chapel, home of David Wilkerson's Times Square Church Pulpit Series, is filled with preventive counseling and a host of resources for new, struggling, and growing Christians, and even includes an award-winning Children's Chapel, which features a growing repertoire of Bible stories and over 150 family-friendly links for children. Our weekly Bible stories are now being sent by the hundreds to more than 35 nations, reaching from Argentina to Zimbabwe.
