Life Bridge Job Corps Ministry

Since 1998, Life Bridge has held 10 week sessions of Life Skills and GED/pre-GED classes in the Austin area throughout the year. We focus resources and meet practical needs of individuals and families through:

GED / Adult Basic Education Tutoring
Work Readiness Skills Training including computers
Life Skills Training
English as A Second Language (ESL)

ESL is available at all three locations. The other programs are only available at Twin Lake Fellowship Church in Cedar Par, TX.

Our Purpose

The purpose of Life Bridge Job Corps is to provide a Christian context in which families in need are equipped for life and employment and a missions context in which Christians serve their community.

Work Readiness Training is provided in a classroom setting during two to three sessions a year in English and Spanish.

English as a Second Language and conversational English are taught at all three of our locations.

GED and Pre-GED program

At Life Bridge’s GED and pre-GED Programs, we meet our students “where they are” and encourage them to reach beyond that. Through classroom instruction, individual attention, and peer contribution, our students emerge as confident, empowered individuals. Our class sessions meet multiple times a year for 10-12 weeks each; we believe that it’s never too late to jump in and start learning.

Christian Compassion Center

Who we are:

The Christian Compassion Center, Inc. (C3) collects merchandise from national retail outlets, businesses, and individuals for distribution to citizens in need, free of charge. Through our ever growing number of volunteers and partners, we have been able to assist families in their immediate tangible goods needs and at the same time, empower our partners to assist in core needs assessment and long term holistic solutions.

1 John 3:17: “But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”

What we do:

Since inception in July 2010, C3 has donated over $3,100,000 of materials to Austin’s disadvantaged community.

The materials are available and the needs are great. Our hope is that through these acts of giving and kindness, we can facilitate the communication of the Gospel through these endeavors.

Why we do it:

To demonstrate compassion by giving valuable goods to those in need and through these activities share the Good News.

What’s in it for supporters?

Knowledge that you are:

Reflecting God’s grace through acts of kindness.
Contributing to the welfare of our city’s disadvantaged.
Helping to eliminate waste destined for local landfills.
Encouraging transformation for our city.

Nineveh Ministries

Nineveh Ministries’ mission is to connect mentors with juvenile offenders to help them find purpose, personal growth and achievement. Our goal is to break the cycle of incarceration and help juveniles embrace the forgiveness, grace and future that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Through study and experience we have found that building relationship with the teens while in placement enables us to connect with and mentor teens more effectively once they are released. It is this full system approach that allows us to partner with Williamson County to ensure that the juveniles in the county have the best chance for transition and success in their re-entry into the community. We serve teens who have been or are currently in the Williamson County Juvenile Justice Centers: Academy, Trinity and Triad.

Services provided for teens in placement : Transportation to church, job interviews, job fairs or furloughs when par-ents are not available. Mentoring, Three Day Money Training seminar and a Christmas Celebration.

Services for teens upon release and probation: Eight week Anger Management Course, Yearly Retreats, Hang-outs, Employment help, Phoenix House IOP, Mentoring .

STATISTICS:
* Williamson County began in 2010 with 4 teens.
* Placement: Transportation to church 25-29 teens weekly. Three day money seminar approx. 30 students per class Christmas Celebration
* Probation— 18 active teen in our mentoring program, 40 teens in first stage mentoring
* 4 teens who are volunteering after completing 1 year of mentoring.
