25,000 Youth Rescued in Brazil in ONE day!


Nearly a week ago, in one day we hit two cities back to back and spoke to about 25,000 youth. I teamed up with the "Where U Going" Team in Brazil (South America), who are better known as the "Dose Maid Forte" Team which literally means (A Stronger Dose). The idea is to raise awareness that drugs and crime are not the "strongest" or best way to solve your problems. There is a positive escape. And that is the direction that the Youth Power Group and I are aiming to share with people.
Check out some of the photos of the events below. 


Below is a picture of Rio de Janeiro Brazil where 10,000 youth gathered to receive help to break free from drugs, crime, prostitution, etc. The response was amazing. 


Below is a picture of Sao Paulo Brazil where the same event was held on the same day 5 hrs later, in a hall that fit 6,000. But the turn out was 15,000 so we had to put people in the parking area downstairs.




Here is the parking area filled with nearly 4,000 youth eager to hear the message story of my life and the message of hope.



Below is one happy youth member taking a picture after getting his book autographed. 


The events on August 25th, 2012 were a great success. I only hope that there will be many more opportunities such as these to reach out to the masses and let them know that no matter how bad your life is, no matter how many terrible decisions you've made, no matter your past. There is a "Stronger Dose" available than any other drug. There is hope and there is a way out.

Is it SAFE?


I have a question for you who are reading this...

Is it safe, to hang around negative people if you are trying to be positive?
Is it? Is it safe to say, "I won't do what they do, we are just cool, just friends"?
Is it safe to assume that you will be strong enough to resist the peer pressure when a friend wants to get high and you look like the lame for not wanting to?
Is it safe to think you can be in the room with that girl or guy alone and not take it any further?
Is it safe to totally ignore your studies and hope that you will be able to cram everything in during the last few months or sometimes weeks of school?
Is it safe to put all types of substances in your body and guess that you should be strong enough to handle it?

Is it safe, to play with your life???

You Choose.



Being funny, or the class clown, or the joker of the neighborhood can only take you so far. One day you have to wake up to see life is serious and your choices DO have consequences.

So either learn the easy way (from others mistakes or advice) or the hard way (through you suffering). But one way or the other, you will have to learn.
