Choose life!
Very soon we'll begin a youth section on our Web site. We need
--youth to blog about peace and justice issues from a Christian viewpoint
--adults to write articles of interest to youth.
It's all volunteer! It's vitally important to offer compelling information about choosing life to youth.
