Bridge in the Gap (BIG) Mentoring Program- The mission of BIG is to provide New York's at-risk Chinese youth, typically from immigrant backgrounds, with caring Christian adult role models. The primary goal of the program is to offer a mentor to a young person to assist in their adolescent development and to express a redemptive Christian testimony. Mentors are matched with one child of the same gender. We are looking for mentors who will commit to a year-long program. Minimum twice a month commitment required. Training and ongoing spiritual guidance provided.

"I've learned from this experience that commitment can be scary. But if your heart is in the right place to serve- it will yield fruits of the Lord's presence in ways you've never imagined."
