How do we know this to be true?”. “ We have a religion that was given to us from our forefathers and has been handed down to our children. We worship in that way. It teaches us to be thankful for all the favors we receive; to love each other, and to be united. We never quarrel about religion.” “Brother, the Great Spirit has made us all, but He had made a great difference between his white and red children.

We communicate this to students through a changed lifestyle, showing that Jesus can and will give you true identity and security. Conclusion In conclusion, I truly love this book, Timeless Youth Ministry.
Case Study Report ARTHUR PHILLIP FREEMAN INTRODUCTION On January 29th of 2009, Arthur Phillip Freeman murdered his four year old daughter, Darcey Freeman, by throwing her off the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne. Freeman was a father of three, being Benjamin (born 1 February 2000); Darcey (born 11 February 2004); and Jackson (born 24 February 2006). At the time of the offence, he was 35 years of age and recently divorced from Peta Barnes, who was Darcey’s mother, (Austlii, 2011, 15th April, 2012). It was meant to be Darcey’s first day of school, and had been organised for Freeman to pick up his children from his parents house in Aireys Inlet, and to meet Barnes, the mother of the children, at St Joseph’s Primary School in Hawthorn. Instead, he drove the children to the highest point on the West Gate Bridge, led Darcey over to the parapet of the bridge, lifted her up and threw her over the edge of the bridge to her death in the water more than 50 metres below, (Austlii, 2011, 15th April, 2012).
At the age of twelve years old, he saw a headline about a young boy is Pakistan, who was forced into bonded labor at the age of four. He was brutally murdered in 1995 at the age of twelve years. Craig was furious and took the article to school and gathered his friends and founded a group called “Twelve-Twelve years-old” (which was later formed into “Free the Children.”)He even went to Asia to see the conditions himself, and live one day in those kid’s shoes. Free the children is a group which donates money to developing countries, this organization has built over 500 schools and enforced projects in forty-five developing countries. 73 percent of the organization’s funding is raised by young people!
King led movements that reached many and was heard around the world. His actions were meant to eliminate hate and segregation, pass voting rights for African Americans, and unite a Nation with equality for everyone. Dr. King’s accomplishments are taught to people of all races worldwide. His fights against the Vietnam War lead to the “Poor Peoples Campaign” that was a multiracial coalition who were working for economic change. Conclusion William “Bill” Gates and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were both young scholars who took risks and faced challenges to improve the way of life for everyone.
God’s Word makes it very clear (Psalm 127:3) that children are a gift and blessing from Him. With each gift comes the responsibility of stewardship and our duty to be found faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2). This blessing is enhanced when parents use Scripture and the Holy Spirit’s guidance to provide strength, direction, and correction for their children (Proverbs 29:17). Most researchers believe that parent discipline practices are absolutely vital in the socialization and development of children. (Pinderhughes, Dodge, Bates, Pettit, and Zelli, 2000).
ary TermsANAPHORA: the same word or phrase used to begine sentences; grabs readers attention to the message of the sentence ex: every child must be taught these principles. every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American. ANITHESIS: it emphasizes the contrast between 2 ideas so the structure of the phrases is simmilar; used to draw the readers attention to the contrast for example: that's ONE SMALL STEP for man, ONE GIANT LEAP for mankind for example: to err is human; to forgive, divine. HYPOPHORA: author raises a question and gives an answer; used to make the audience curious example: Why is it better to love than be loved?
Martin Luther King, in my eyes, is considered one of the greatest role models for young people of all ages and races. It's as if no matter where you grow up in the world, wether it be in the U.S. or on the other side of the world, you will come to hear of Dr. King and his work. Another quote I found interesting was, "Injustice anywhere is a treat to justice everywhere. "This is what I think makes him a great role model, because he shows that there are always ways to make a difference, and to be equil is to be one as a whole. I admire and look up to Dr. King and his lessons because I've hurd the stories of struggle and hurt that people, who were just a little different, had to undergo.
God promised that Abraham will be the father of great nations and an everlasting covenant will establish with his descendant and Kings will come from him. For this very reason the Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham which means father of many. The Mission was also considered outside Abraham’s offspring to include all human beings. God’s plan was not only to separate Abram from his family and blesses him lonely; but he wants Abraham to be a worldwide blessing through his descendants and his faith. The purpose God’s mission, therefore, was to start a plan by which to share his blessing with whole the world as an alternative of dealing every single nation individually.
Jesus taught us a new definition for greatness, the word servant. “Anyone can be great, because anyone can serve.” He gave of Himself. Jesus showed us all by example how to be great; by giving our lives in service to God. His service to humankind was motivated by Love. Mark Twain said, “Kindness (Love) is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” That is the language that Jesus spoke.
