SHOUT-Houston

DVULI Workshop is coming soon! Strap in we’re about to blast off!

Hey Houston Youth Leaders,

I'm reaching out because I believe this opportunity was made for this season, and I had to pass it along.

Arrabon, in partnership with Tenx10, is bringing their "Rooted in Justice" One Day Intensive to Houston, and it's completely FREE.

📅 May 8, 2026
📍 The Fountain of Praise | 14083 Main Street, Houston, TX 77035
⏰ 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

This is a one-day workshop designed for youth pastors, ministry leaders, parents, and mentors — anyone walking closely with teenagers ages 13–17.

You'll be equipped with trauma-informed tools, introduced to Arrabon's reconciliation framework and Cultivating Kinship curriculum, and formally invited into a seven-month cohort journey that culminates in an immersion trip to Montgomery, AL (October 20–23, 2026).

Space is limited to 25 participants, lunch is provided, and there is no cost to attend.

The teenagers in our care deserve leaders who are themselves being formed. This is that kind of investment.

Rooted in Justice - Houston

Blessings,

Listen when Dr. John Perkins a giant and sage is speaking

"Throughout Scripture we read about God's concern for people who are vulnerable or suffering - the poor, the widows and orphans, the foreigners in the land, and so on. All Christians should feel a sense of calling to where there is pain in our society."

Dr. John M. Perkins in Dream with Me: Race, Love, and the Struggle We Must Win
