Youth Action Ministries March Newsletter Hello from Tony Rizzo, America's Youth Evangelist,Get to Know Your Missionary: Tony Rizzo Under the mission statement "Missionaries to the Teens of America," Tony and his team venture into inner cities, neighborhoods, and communities, sharing the gospel with young people and their families. Their work hasn't been easy—as Tony notes, "How many people do you know are missionaries to the teens of America?"—but it has been tremendously fruitful. The ministry has seen over 57,000 young people and adults trust in the Lord as their personal Savior. We had a tremendous time sharing the gospel at the 69th Street Terminal. I had several deep conversations and counseling sessions. The pictures below are a few pics of our Safety Zones this March: Our Kids Safety Zone was a great success. One highlight of the outreach was that about a dozen students took our Tony's Tales Bible Studies. We were so excited to see their hungry desire for the Word of God. Our Youth Safety Zone had a tremendous impact in reaching many teenagers for the gospel's sake. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement as we continue to reach out in the SW Philadelphia area. 24-Month Ministry Impact Brief of Inner City Philadephia Youth Evangelism (2023-2024): Executive Summary - Over the past 24 months, our youth evangelism ministry maintained consistent weekly outreaches across Inner City Philadelphia and the East Coast, conducting 64 events and traveling 40,000 miles to reach over 5,000 individuals with the Gopsel Message.
