The Pais movement
Did you know that 703,000 people commit suicide every year? Sadly many of these are children and teenagers. The main causes of suicide are anxiety, physical or sexual abuse, and bullying. This is where organizations like PAIS come in.
I only heard about the PAIS movement several months ago through our pastors whose son works with PAIS. Over the last few months, I've learned that PAIS was established in 1992 by Paul Clayton Gibbs. It started in England then spread all around the world. Their main headquarters are based in Texas. The PAIS movement helps those who are suffering from depression and severe bullying. The PAIS goal is to encourage, uplift, give hope and tell them about Jesus. I think that what PAIS is doing is extremely important because these kids are under extreme stress and pressure. It is important to teach them about God so that they can live a good Christian life. Also to help them understand that God will always love them. PAIS takes Christian adults and gives them basic training. They are then sent out to live with a Christian family in another country for a while. The young adults then go to local schools and churches to help the kids there.
So come on there are various ways we can help. We can give money and hear from God for them. Or simply send them an encouraging message. It may seem small but it might just make someone as happy as a laughing kookaburra. Last but not least, you can become one of these young adults training to help kids and teenagers. To find out more about PAIS simply go to their website or you can watch this video. Luke 6:38 says GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. So do you think your up for the challenge?
