VisionTrust

Real religion ... is this: Reach out to the

homeless and loveless in their plight.

James 1:27 (The Message)

Our goal in our Jr. High ministry at PBCC is to become Transformed ToHus which means looking more and more like Jesus everyday. To that end, we desire to serve and show the same kind of compassion that He showed to the less fortunate. Therefore, we have begun sponsoring students in Africa (Liberia) for $35/month. The $35 covers 4 things: discipleship, education, food and medical care. These students will be sponsored through an organization called VisionTrust (http://www.visiontrust.org/ ). Our plan at PBCC is for each Jr. High grade to sponsor a student (in the same grade) and continue sponsoring that student until they graduate from high school. Consequently, our goal is for each Jr. High grade to raise $35/month for their sponsored student. These are our students:

Abraham Yarlatai

Class of 2017

Ojuku Weah
Class of 2016

Naomi Nyuan

Class of 2015

If you would like to write to one of the students, read the instructions here and print out a blank page here (you can create your own page if you'd like).

Little ToHus

Small groups sit at the heart of our Jr. High ministry at PBCC. They meet three weeks a month during the school year and are a key way to get connected into our Jr. High group, not only with other Jr. Highers, but also with Jr. High staffers. They are a place to study God's word, talk about life, and generally have a blast!

6th Grade Boys: Tuesday nights (Leaders: Chris)
7th Grade Girls - Tuesday nights (Leaders: Marian)
7th Grade Boys - Thursday nights (Leaders: Jeremy & Shawn)

ToHu = Hebrew word for 'formless' or 'chaos'

The ToHus

Who We Are

A community of Junior Highers and staff team leaders who love Jesus and desire to grow in our relationships with Him.
A group of people who love living life and having fun together
A group of people who enjoy lots of time playing, laughing, talking, praying, singing and studying God's word
A part of God's community of believers called out to love and care for each other and people in our schools, on our teams, in our neighborhoods and everywhere else we go.

What We Do

SUNDAY ToHu: Join us on Sunday mornings at 8:30 in Room 202/203 (PBCC campus map) for Sunday Morning ToHu (Hebrew word for ‘formless’ or ‘chaos’). We have fun, we play, sing, pray, worship, hang out and dig into God's word together to discover how to become Transformed ToHus. Come join us!

LITTLE ToHus: We also gather in small groups several times each month during the week (during the school year) in which Jr. Highers can enjoy friendships, talk about real life, study God's word and grow closer to him and each other.

JAMS: We get together for big, fun, blowout times we call "JAMs": times to have fun, be friends, bring friends and enjoy life! We play (e.g. Ridiculympics, Pins & Pies), we serve (e.g. Fast 4 Hunger, Christmas Joy), we celebrate (e.g. Splendor in the Grass) and we get a little crazy (e.g. Video Scavenger Hunt, Human Bowling). You can see some of the fun we have on our Pics & Vids page.

ADVENTURES: Yes, we go on adventures! Beach, BBQ, Baptism Bonanza every summer, Hume Lake in the snow every winter, and Whitewater rafting on the Klamath River each summer. PBCC Jr. High adventures get us away from the grind of everyday life and into over-the-top, fantastic and life-changing experiences with God.

Why We Exist

Jr. High is a very difficult and life-shaping time for most young teens and pre-teens. We are here to help our kids navigate this season in life and to encourage, support and teach what it means to live in relationship with the living God through His Son Jesus Christ.

Our goal is not to make good kids. Our goal is to earn the right to lead kids into relationship with Jesus so that they know true, satisfying, real life and He can transform their lives into what He desires for them.

We have more reason to celebrate than anyone else on Earth; the party's here! God has given us the gift of life, value, identity and total acceptance. So we celebrate!

We seek to walk alongside families as they walk (or run as the case may be) through the Jr. High years with their kids. We desire to encourage, assist, counsel and partner with families in any way we can with the ultimate common goal of fostering a relationship with Jesus.
