If you know a teen or young person that is in crisis or if you are a
young person in crisis (you do not have to be a teen to use this) then
please read this!
For emergancy shelters in your area you send a text on your cell phone to 99-000 and then text in the word:
SHELTER + zipcode
(text the word SHELTER then space and then type in the zipcode where you are located).
Very quickly you should receive a reply giving you a list of shelters and contacts that will help you.
You can do the same thing for someone facing abuse or addiction by texting the word:
ABUSED + ZIPCODE
SOBER + ZIPCODE
Those words (to the 99-000 number) will also get you a list of
shelters/help in your area (zip code region). Our database locates
shelters and help for a 30 mile radius from your zip code entered.
Please pass along this information to everyone that might put it on
their websites, post it in their ministry directories, etc.
Thank You,
Jeff and Kathi Pelton

The Pepsi Corporation has accepted our grant proposal and will be going before their board of directors. If we receive this grant it can be as high as $500,000.00. This would not allow us to purchase the property but it will give us the funds to move forward in the preparation process. There are a number of other corporations that are considering our grant project. We know that ...

After an amazing time of hosting the Shores of Grace team, who are soon on their way to Brazil to oversee a ministry training school and reach out to the prostitutes and drug addicts, we are back in our waiting time. Awaiting grants can be a long process requiring so much patience. It is difficult when we are aware of all the boys out there waiting for a place to call home. But watching and waiting is part of the process of launching a new project and of walking with God. We watch to see ...
