Teens from "The Way" at the Helen Wright Center
Cary, NC – It’s hard for us to resist these stories. There are amazing things going on in Cary by some real good people. Nick Verna contacted me. He works with Cary (and Apex) teens in a program called ”The Way”.
“The program has over 200 teen members that get together for projects weekly. We try to move teens closer to God through a combination of teaching, service and example”, Nick told me.
The group regularly provides meals for the homeless, collects food for Urban Ministries and various other service projects throughout the year. For many of the teens this project marks the first time they ever leave their “comfort zone” – as Verna described it. Nick has been working with teens through various churches for over 25 years. He claims he has ”never experienced anything as rewarding as 200 teens learning stewardship first hand.”

Well done Nick…and teens! Post some more pictures on our Facebook page!
