A letter from Earnest Alexander

January 5, 2006

My name is Earnest Alexander. I am writing to you because some of you might be in a position where there is a gap between where you are and where you want to be in your ministry. I know of several churches in this community with godly leadership and wonderful parishioners with great desires and tremendous frustration. Years of frustration have taken its toll on their passion for ministry. In short, they feel like they’ve lost their way. It’s possible your church might be experiencing the same.

This letter is by no means a solicitation for volunteers or monetary support; it is solely to share with you information concerning a group of people who have been a tremendous blessing to our ministry.

As you know, Youth Horizons is not a church. We cooperate with local churches to reach a group of people who do not frequently attend church. We rely on the church to help underwrite the cost of providing services for the impoverished and fatherless. Over the last 10 years, this ministry has gone from being a small “mom and pop” organization to a world-class Christian mentoring ministry. I do not say this to toot our own horn. It could not have been possible without God’s help and the Strategy Group. The counsel and wisdom of owners Jeff & Laurie Carney, along with their capable staff, have definitely stretched my team and me here at Youth Horizons from time to time. But thank God, they have shown us a more excellent way. While they’re a full-service advertising and marketing firm, their greatest ambition is to help churches, ministries and non-profits accomplish their mission.

To achieve the goal of equipping, encouraging and training churches to be more effective, they have launched a new teaching and training division called the Creel Institute. I urge you, go to their website and explore the services and classes they are offering. Let them help you realize your mission and your vision.

Please feel free to call me here at Youth Horizons with any questions about my 10-year relationship with The Strategy Group and their commitment to helping ministries find their way.

With sincere regards,
Your friend,
Earnest Alexander
President of Youth Horizons
