Going In

Earlier this year at the NWMC, we went to a workshop on "At-Risk Youth Ministries".  So much of what was talked about in that session really connected with us.  Afterward we introduced ourselves, and had the complete honor of beginning a relationship with Tyrone McMorris of Casino Road Kids Ministries.  He is one of the most genuine people I've ever met (for real), and has a huge heart for the kids and community he serves.  With every story he tells and kid he connects with, Tyrone's honest passion shines through.  Tyrone has been working in the Casino Rd. area of Everett for about 12 years, and officially founded CRKM in 2008.

A couple months after first meeting, we were able to get together and learn more of each other's stories.  Then last week, we finally got up to Everett to check out CRKM in action.  Even with a torn Achilles, Tyrone was more than willing to give us a tour, overview, introductions, and answer any of our questions.  We learned more on the importance of relationship and education, establishing positive partnerships, and developing a niche ministry.   

From the very start, Tyrone showed a lot of interest in what we are doing and has remained very supportive.  We are grateful for his example, prayer, and friendship!
