The National Youth Commission released their findings today of their independent study of youth homelessness in Australia. It's a good report on a difficult reality. I recommend you acquire a copy or visit their website for more information at http://nyc.net.au/
Setting aside the statistical aspect of the report, just know that youth homelessness is a bigger issue than the availability of beds. It's about real young people with unique concerns that a simple formulaic response won't address. Captain Paul Moulds reminds us that the solutions begin to come into focus with personal relationships. This has to be a one to one effort. The Lord is with them and with us in these ways.
Luke 12:6-7 (NIV)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

I will be very interested to hear the advances we make with the gospel into this area of youth homelessness. I am aware of many great endeavours TSA are involved in and I pray that the public awareness of this important issue will draw Salvos to sign up to help.
I am praying that soldiers will see the need to be involved.
