Newsletters 2004 - 2008

2008

March 2008 - (The Two River Times, Volume 18 Number 22, March 7-14, 2008):
RED BANK - Doug and Kathryn Eagles aren't exactly newcomers to Aslan Youth Ministries - each of them worked with Aslan earlier in their careers.  But when they returned to the organization last year, they were charged with a special mission - to step into the shoes of Aslan's founders, Craig and Lynn Ann Bogard, and lead Aslan into the future -- more

February 2008 - "The Inner City." What mental images do these three words bring to mind? Poverty? Monorities? Ghettos? Crime? Corruption?Or perhaps this phrase speaks more to fear ~ both for those who live in the inner city and for those who do not live there -- more

2007

July 2007 - We want to begin by thanking all of you for your wonderful outpouting of love and suport over the past few months. Your many kind notes and letters of sympathy ~ and most assuredly your faithful prayers ~ have helped sustain us through this immense darkness that has come into our lives -- more

2006

October 2006 - There are so many problems in our troubled world that it is tempting to throw your hands in the air and give up in despair.  “What can I do to really make a difference?”  It’s a good question that deserves a good answer:  We can all do an enormous amount of good by mentoring a child! -- more

September 2006 - Rather than On the Move newsletters we've been sending for a while, I wanted to share a special letter with you this month. Before going further, however, I want to thank you for supporting the work of Aslan -- more

March 2006 - Under the wonderful and capable leadership of Claudia Ackerman, Aslan/s Mentor Tutorial Program continues to signigicantly help the lives of Aslan children -- more

 

2005

Christmas Appeal, 2005 - As always during this blessed Advent Season, all of us at Aslan want to offer you our warmest wished. In barely 2 months, Aslan will celebrate 31 years of ministry -- more

December 2005 - In our October On the Move, I mentioned to you how very important your regular, faithful and generous support is to the success and future of Aslan -- more

October 2005 - It seems impossible to turn around before another disaster has struck somewhere in our world. Americans are the most generous people in the world -- more

June 2005 - Aslan is celebrating our 30th Anniversary year! This is a testamony and tribute to God, as the two of us would undoubtedly have given up long ago were it not for His faithfulness -- more

May 2005 - We must begin by thanking all of you who have extended your sympathy and love over the loss of our precious son, Daniél. We cannot express how much this outpouring of love and the gifts given in his memory have meant to us. -- more

March 22, 2005 - Greetings from Aslan! Although I write most of the monthly newsletters, I also enjoy having other Aslan staff share their experiences -- more

January 22, 2005 - The big blue bus rattles on. As I sit in the front seat awaiting the arrival of students for our weekly Bible Class meeting I peer out the window. -- more

2004

December 1, 2004 - First of all, I want to offer you our warmest wishes for this blessed Advent Season. -- more

September 9, 2004 - Dominique is on her way to college! And what an accomplishment it is for this wonderful young woman -- more

July 5, 2004 - Back in December I wrote to you about James*, a seven-year-old boy in our program. Many of you will remember that James was having all kinds of problems in school, and his behavior had become extremely difficult.-- more

June 7, 2004 - Miguel* lives with his mom and younger brother in a dilapidated apartment about 2 blocks from our office in Red Bank. He has little contact with his father who lives in Florida, but he passionately loves his mother who has been chronically ill for the past several years -- more

April 13, 2004 - I know we're not supposed to have "favorite kids," but Shanaya* is definitely one of our favorites.  She's one of the first girls to attend our program in Long Branch back in 1991, and she's participated in nearly every activity and program we have -- more

March 21, 2004 - Several months ago I wrote to you about a young man named Eric*.  He's one of our favorite kids, and he lives in Asbury Park in one of the worst situations you can imagine -- more

February 21, 2004 - Three weeks ago during basketball practice for our teens, Doug Eagles (Aslan's Rec Director) noticed that Marquis*, one of our newer players to the team, had walked up on the gym stage to talk to a "friend" who walked in off the street. -- more

January 29, 2004 - Greetings!  With this New Year, Aslan begins our twenty-ninth year of ministry to disadvantaged, urban youth! -- more

* We have purposefully changed all children's names to protect their privacy.
