Summary:

Straight Ahead Ministries desires to equip Christians to minister to juvenile offenders in order that every juvenile offender might hear and be able to respond to the Gospel.  Toward this end, Straight Ahead works to ensure that every juvenile institution is opened to ministry; every juvenile offender has the chance to hear the Gospel; every Christian called to this ministry is trained; and every juvenile offender who believes in Christ has the opportunity to be discipled.  Straight Ahead offers free articles, newsletters, and e-newsletters to visitors on their site, and they also have available for purchase a variety of books on such topics as:

• devotionals for youth,
• ministering to at-risk youth,
• help for parents of rebellious teens,
• youth assessment, and
• exhortation for teens to minister to peers. 

The Xtreme Walk Series Discipleship Booklets are especially helpful as they are useable for almost any teenager – they are written on a 3^rd grade reading level and  assume no prior knowledge of the Bible.  Books 1-4 in the series are available in Spanish.  These booklets are distributed as the teenager completes them; he or she must send in a completion form to receive the next booklet and is thus accountable for having read each book. The ministry also provides an aftercare home for juvenile offenders who are released.
