Giving Hope
The Youth Central Story
by Rebekah Sykes
Imagine being called to start a ministry
wherein you don’t know the language. You
don’t have a van, a building, a budget, let alone
funding, experience, or staff. However, you do
have a calling, an available heart, and a purpose
to fulfill God’s will. Out of that call Youth Central
was born. Situated on Main Street in Vass,
the once empty Sunday School rooms of Vass
Presbyterian Church are now filled to capacity
with beautiful, well-mannered children who
eagerly accomplish their lessons. Volunteers
work with each child as goals are reached. There
is no limit to the potential these lives hold as the
children open their minds and the volunteers
their hearts. As Director Beth Dent shows me
around, the unforgettable stories and miracles
unfold as the doors to Youth Central open for a
visit.
The year was 2008, when a local youth pastor
needed a home to host a pizza party. Even
though Beth and her husband Dan didn’t attend
his church, Beth smiles, “We’re all kind of the
same church.” Since the youth pastor needed
help and Beth’s church didn’t have Wednesday
services, the Dent family welcomed his youth
