Just for Youth

We know it's not easy being a young person in a world like this. Think about it:

  • you've got more money in your hands than any generation of youth ever
  • you have beaucoup cool cars, cell phones, clothes and other consumables
  • your country rules the world
  • when you say "jump!" the corporations say "how hi?" 
What's so bad about this? Nothing. Unless you happen to be a young person concerned about something besides yourself — and willing to think about what it's like to be someone who hasn't had it so good. Read Emily and the Movie to see what happened to one young person who was confronted by all this — while watching a movie in a Sudanese village.

About the upside down logo: From space there is no up or down to Planet Earth. When drawing the maps, the US and Europe are on top because . . . we draw the maps. The New Community Project believes it is time to begin looking at our world and its people in a new way -- not from above, but from beside or even below, after the example and teachings of Jesus. The early church was accused of "turning the world upside down" (Acts 17:6) for its radical way of doing things. It's time for people to begin saying that about us!
