The Chelan County Juvenile Center is a county agency responsible for providing juvenile detention, probation, and court services.

It is here where our youth begin their journey when they fall short and are arrested.  

It is here where the mission of ReJuveNation intervenes and is provided opportunity to minister and share the good news of Jesus.

• Pray for the doors to the Juvenile Detention Center remain open and the work of Jesus Christ; that it may be effective in reaching lost and hopeless. 

• Pray that the ministry of Rejuvenation continues to find favor with leadership and staff in the center.

• Pray for the Lord to continue to provide ReJuveNation staff wisdom in their work with these precious young people and as a witness to all Juvenile Center staff. 

• Pray for those who minister and are associated with ReJuveNation.  The enemy seeks to end this work, so pray for protection and wisdom as the work continues.

The Gym provides an excellent opportunity to spend quality time with the youth.  Activities include basketball, badminton, volleyball, workout as well as twice a month engagement with a personal trainer.

We have found that this time has provided a relaxed environment where kids have taken staff aside to talk about more personal matters.  Discussions about family life on the outside, parents, and many of their personal struggles.

The most common topic of prayer at this stop (Gym) is the development of relationships.  Many youths have been directly influenced by a dysfunctional home life, and many have been involved with gangs.  Always seeking affirmation and acceptance, negative influences are prevalent outside these doors.  ReJuveNation works to provide alternatives and examples of unconditional love and a pattern of culture change is exhibited.  Being present for these kids, ReJuveNation becomes a listening ear and a safe place to listen without judgement.

• Pray for teachable moments and open hearts as staff welcome informal times of one-on-one personal times with youth.

• Pray that staff seek wisdom as opportunities provide more personal times of direct ministry.

• Pray for extended ministry as staff and others meet youth in this informal environment; positively influencing examples of alternative cultural interactions.

On Stop 5 we take time to pray for the staff at the Center.  These people are probation officers, administrative staff, program coordinators, and Center leaders; all committed to care for the young people at the Center.  We are so grateful for the favor our God have shown to us through staff; and we do not take this for granted.  Our work requires their support and acceptance.

• Pray for continued favor from Center staff to the work of ReJuveNation.

• Pray that the Lord grants mercy and help to Center staff in their challenging work and support of incarcerated youth.

• Pray that the Lord gives wisdom to these wonderful, committed individuals.

Tucked away in a corner right next to the Juvenile Center’s, Juvenile’s Entrance, sits the door where youth leave incarceration to a life of next steps and continued healing.

ReJuveNation staff cherish this place and the moment where youth move to the next, and very important step towards their true freedom.  It is recognized that this moment becomes crucial as these young people begin making choices that will impact the remainder of their lives.

ReJuveNation staff hope that this is not the end of their ministry to these now released young people.  Rather, this moment is seen as vital to true continued healing and restoration.  ReJuveNation staff continue to meet with youth, families, and friends on the outside of detention with the hope of providing guidance and teaching through requested, one-on-one support. 

• Pray that each young person receives and remembers the lessons and instruction and unconditional love provided by ReJuveNation staff as they begin their new lives.

• Pray that the Lord protects the hearts of these vulnerable youth, and that the Word of God, planted in their hearts rests and grows on fertile soil.

• Pray for the families of the youth, healing dysfunction and bringing each member of the family to the saving grace of Jesus. 

• Please pray that the Lord provides clear direction to ReJuveNation staff  in the development of post incarceration programs.
