As director of South Jersey Youth for Christ and the manager of the South Jersey Young Americans; I want to say that it is a privilege and responsibility God has given me for which I am thankful. Many pleasurable hours were spent working with these teenagers in rehearsals and concerts. The excitement of seeing and hearing their reactions to the way God works through their lives is great.

 

     My congratulations go to Steve DeGeorge their director, and to each of the teenagers in this chorale. They are teenagers who are part of the solutions, and not part of the problem facing America today. They are teenagers who are sharing their faith in Christ and their peers.

 

     May God bless each of them always.
