Update From Las Vegas

Here is an update on what God has allowed Turning Point Experience to accomplish over the last 34 months.

(1) TPE's cell phone app is now being used to help parents and students in 34 countries with thousands of downloads. Constantly we hear from parents and youth that are being helped with resources and the scriptures offered to change their lives. 


(2) The "The S.P.I.R.I.T." (Suppression-Prevention-Intervention-Referral-Intelligence-Tool) software project is in the final stages of development and will begin it's pilot on July 1st. This software will be used by multiple organizations in the area and because of this there are more than 350,000 students being impacted from this project. The system will connect hurting teens to available local help and chaplains/mentors in dealing with teen issues through this hand-held cell phone device. The system will also follow-up on every teen entered into the system to make sure they receive the help they need.
 
(3) Last, TPE has been given the open invitation to host one weekend service per month inside two different Nevada's Youth Correctional Facilities. They are allowing us to present the full Gospel message and give an altar call inside these youth prisons. This is an incredible harvest field as we will be assisting these youth transition into the community after they serve their time by connecting them to a Christian mentor, church and school. This is important in leading kids to Christ and being directly involved in their lives.  Last Saturday, we had over 1/3 of the inmates make a decision for Christ and now we are going to disciple them and get them connected into a local church as they are released from prison by using the Spirit System.
