We are priests in the city! We are a church in the midst of society! We impact all worlds! We are everywhere! The church is a depot and a storehouse for Stockholm. SOS is not a cozy, isolated club for introverts and cowardly religious people. On the contrary!
Our Youth Ministry helps teenagers in Stockholm whose parents don't yet go to church. We counteract and prevent violence, drugs, crime, vandalism, suicide, eating dissorders and recruitment to different gangs. SOS Youth is now starting a collaboration with the social services and will be contact persons for youths in trouble. They have a youth club/café every Friday night and also walk the streets in the city as youth-priests. In time SOS Youth will become even more active and will be seen and heard in our toughest hoods. SOS Youth want to help pregnant teenage girls and also offer youths creative alternatives for graffitti scribbling! SOS don't see any 'cases', but talented young people with lots of energy that need something to do and get an outlet for their passions!
SOS Church is cooperationg with the non-custodial treatment center, we are probation officers, family homes for kids in need and former criminals that come directly from jail! We will soon start our own rehab center and refugee home. We provide jobs for people, create employment by several new businessess etc etc. We have several schools, help the homeless and refugees! We believe in integration and hate rasism and xenophobia. Missions and disaster relief are obvious for SOS. Evangelism, training disciples and having people stay at your house is our life style and self-evident for us! We want to copperate with the Police, politicians and people of power for a better and more secure city where crime and divorce statistics are declining!
We are moving forward! We are advancing! We refuse to believe that it's hopeless! The love, forgiveness and victory of Jesus builds a better Stockholm!
See ya!
