Youth Unlimited / Blayne and Betty Greiner  Youth Unlimited’s purpose is reaching into the lives of youth with the love of God. This is accomplished by coming alongside the local church in teaching, training and reaching the youth for their community. Youth Unlimited aggressively reaches out to the “at-risk” youth. Blayne and Betty could use help in Guatemala. They could use volunteers to help build houses for deserving families { cost is approx. 5000.00 to build a house}. They can use help teaching english, tutoring students and sharing our faith in Christ, at Jabel Tinamit Spanish School. The hospital in San Pedro always needs help as they give free medical care to the poor Myan communities. There is so much to do at the hospital, painting, organizing and labelling, etc. Betty and Blayne also work with an aids orphanage for kids. They would love a team to join them sharing our stories in junior and high schools.
