COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
OASIS OF FAITH, FUN & FELLOWSHIP
The L.O.V.E. City Community Development Corporation is a 501c3 organization which plans to play a major role in community transformation in Harris County, East Houston. We are aware of the need of more programming for youth who need supervision and direction so that they can become more productive citizens. As a result, we have launched The L.O.V.E. City Community Development Project.
The L.O.V.E. City Community Development Project will focus on three areas: Fitness, Fun, and Fostering. The fitness component will focus on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many of the youth in our area lack of the proper physical activities and information that lead to a healthy lifestyle. L.O.V.E. City will also create a safe environment for youth to have safe fun via indoor-outdoor recreational activities, fishing, and other interactive activities.
Finally, L.O.V.E. City will have a fostering component which will serve as a mentoring program teaching various life skills to the youth, ranging from financial literacy, proper social etiquette, proper attire, along with other important life skills and character education. We will also have a huge focus on academic excellence as a part of our fostering. Our fostering component will also include an interactive focus to bridge the gap between our local law enforcement and the community.
We believe that organized after school and weekend supervised programs not only keep youth out of trouble, but also significantly improves their academic achievement. L.O.V.E. City will provide underserved youth with positive alternatives in a safe and structured environment with a program that teaches life skills and character education.
We believe that a better youth equates to a better community, and that a better community equates to a better city, and that a better city equates to a better state, which inevitably equates to a better nation.
The L.O.V.E City Community Development Project is looking for community partners who will invest in the transformation and operation of this outreach to transform this underserved community. We believe that the L.O.V.E. City Community Development Project is consistent with the heart’s desire of many concerned citizens and hope that you will find it in your heart to support this much-needed program. We respect that many corporations will not give to religious organizations therefore, we have set up this nonprofit division to accommodate these contributors.
CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP
OASIS OF FAITH, FUN & FELLOWSHIP
The focus of the L.O.V.E City USA camp is evangelism and discipleship. Statistics reveal that most believers make their decision to be followers of Christ before age 18, and if the decision is not made before this age, it is extremely difficult to win them in later years.
The crown jewel of the maxlife legacy will be the efficient development of L.OV.E City USA an urban Christian youth camp that will be a place of spiritual refreshing, impartation, and empowerment.
We must work together to build a God-consciousness in upcoming generations through a genuine spiritual encounter. It will be a contemporary, first-class youth camp like no other focusing on the spiritual and physical needs of America’s urban youth. It will be discipleship at its best.
During off-seasons, it will be used to host Christian retreats and summits.
There will be age-appropriate activities and ministry for each four-day camping session. We will provide camping experiences for campers ages 13 through 19.
A camp schedule calendar will be posted on our website to give youth groups time to plan. Each church group must have its own leaders who stay in the dorms with their group. Leaders pay the same price as the campers.
The leader/camper ratio for campers 13-19 is 1 leader per 10 youth. Most activities will be co-ed under the watchful eyes of staff and group leaders. Meals will be prepared on-site in the food court each day. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the L.O.V.E City quick stop shop.
The camp ministry programming will have a central theme like spiritual encounter has had each year. The messages in the daily ministry sessions will be around this theme that will set the stage for an individual encounter with God. Music will be provided by the L.O.V.E City musical staff as well as national guest artists.
Through the focused innovative teaching of the scriptures in a fun-loving spirit-filled worship atmosphere, we will set the stage for every camper and leader to have a life-changing experience that will empower them to be effective witnesses for Christ.
