Street Youth Ministry of Austin exists to know, love and serve street-dependent youth. The first step of our mission is to notice street youth. Then we must understand their culture to know how to love and serve them. SYM spends time every day with more than 100 young adults. We provide basic services, counseling, referral to services, and Christian guidance counseling. It it a privilege to know these young people.

Not a Long Conversation
It really wasn't even a conversation.
I saw a client walking down the street hurriedly. He simply said, "Hey, Terry! I'm [in] a hurry. My life is great, and thank you for praying for me, dude!"
That was it. He walked on.
I turned to look. He was up. He was happy. He was energetic.
How different than when he used to tell me, "My life is completely miserable."
He was the main person who inspired this quarterly newsletter article: "Why We're In Ministry."
