The Way’s Annex is structurally complete. Still need some cosmetic work on outside and inside, but it is functional and ready for use. Thanks to Jimi and Braxton Oakley, Premier Construction and Land Services, (see picture below) and others for making the renovation vision of Marc Frye, Jerry Schisler and others come to fruition for a building to provide a Teen Clothes Closet and badly needed storage for The Way. Thanks to Trigg Schools, Superintendent Bill Thorpe and School Board, for agreeing in 2020 to sell property and buildings to The Way at appraised amount. GOD has already used the building as a prayer area during “Experiencing GOD Weekend For Teens” and several decisions were made to accept and/or draw closer to CHRIST in the unfinished building. Thanks to each of you. GOD has honored your faithfulness and dedication by continuing to bless HIS ministry at The Way in sharing the love of CHRIST in word and deed. . ... See MoreSee Less

GOD blessed The Way to be able to send 17 students to ”Crossings” Jonathan Creek (in Aurora ) for a 24 hour Christian Youth Retreat. It was the first Christian Camp experience for almost all our students, including 4 new Christians. Our students joined approximately 130 others from Western Kentucky (mostly Christian County) to enjoy numerous activities including zip line, laser tag, and other activities; most importantly 3 worship services. So many to thank starting with Michael Graening, Youth Pastor of Edgewood Baptist Church in Hopkinsville, who gave The Way an opportunity to attend at an affordable rate. Thanks to Christian McKenzie, Youth Minister of Harrisburg 1st Baptist Church in Harrisburg IL and Camp Director of Hillcrest Baptist Assembly in Cave In Rock IL (across the Ohio River from Marion KY), who took six of his students and led our group. Thanks to Christian’s Sister, Sarah Taylor, and Mother, Julie Hollis, who along with Jessica Crenshaw and Jackie Brown representing The Way and Phoenix Antis of Clear Creek Bible College were our Camp Counselors. Thanks to Ashley and Jamie Stewart for driving our students up on Friday afternoon. Carl was blessed to be able to drive up Saturday to worship with our students and bring them home. ...

The Way and Trigg Schools are so appreciate to Cadiz Police Department and especially Chief Duncan Wiggins and Officer Sean Young for organizing and presenting an overview of Law Enforcement to our students. Twenty students are enrolled and sixteen are expected to graduate. This is the largest class so far in WATW. The workshop, developed and coordinated by Officer Young, has covered multiple aspects of law enforcement; including types and career fields, dangers of drug abuse and types of drug paraphernalia, Forest Service experiences, equipment familiarization, etc. However, the most important benefits of the workshop are the relationships being forged between officers and students and the understanding of Law Enforcement’s role to “protect and serve”. ...

Below are some photos to express our appreciation for those “Unsung” Heroes from Churches and organizations which provide monthly Spiritual and physical support to our students. They provide the evening meal for many of our students and snacks for many more. Any excess food is normally sent home with students who request or we know Family would appreciate. Thanks so much to our Food Providers/Unsung Heroes, and Coordinator, Nell Weer, who make this ministry possible. ... See MoreSee Less

The 4th Quarter of “Wildcats At The Way” is going well. Toni and Tina Thomas have done a great job of filling in for and helping Sister Martha with Arts and Crafts. Chef Petro’s Advanced Cooking Class is learning so much. They made Chicken and Dumplings, Fried Broccoli and home made doughnuts this past Wednesday. Christi Riggs (Advanced Personal Finance) and Tajuana Davis (Christian Counselor) only have a couple of students but are “investing” so much into students that will pay dividends for the rest of their lives. Fledgling guitarists continue to shine under tutelage of Mark Thomas and Jerry Brown (with Bruce Grace’s assistance). One of the students, Jennie Watts, is combining work ethic with GOD given skills to be something really special. SPARTACATS (physical fitness) led by Coach Katie Johnson are also excelling. She is inspiring students. We are especially excited about two new classes: One is “Pre Med Tech” instructed by Dr(s) Marie and Eric Cook. Students are learning medical terminology, how to check vital signs and so many other life enriching skills. Thanks to Laura Shelton and School grant money, they have their own (to keep) stethoscopes and scrubs. Students (most middle school) look so cool in scrubs. Pictures to follow. The class is full (6 students) with others asking for a second class in the fall. The second class is on various phases of Law Enforcement. ... See MoreSee Less

One of the most exciting workshops offered during the 4th Quarter of Wildcats At The Way is on various types of Law Enforcement. First week was an overview of different law enforcement agencies and consideration of them as career fields, led by CPD Officer Sean Young and Deputy Jailer, Troy Belt. Second week was led by Forest Service Officers, Donnie Dill and Chris Holland. They talked about health dangers and legal consequences of using drugs. They also brought over 100 drug paraphernalia seized during arrests. (see below pictures). This coming Wednesday may be the “piece de resistance” as they bring K-9 dogs to demonstrate various duties they perform. If anyone would like to drop by and observe, please fell free to do so around 3:45. Thanks, beyond words, to Cadiz Police Department; especially Chief Wiggins and Officer Sean Young (workshop coordinator), for making this course possible. It is helping to fulfill fulfill a long term goal/dream and hopefully will open up many more opportunities to help students/families understand the importance of Law Enforcement to “protect and serve” and build life long/changing relationship with students. ALMOST ALL THE STUDENTS IN THIS CLASS ARE FREQUENT ATTENDEES AT THE WAY ---AS WITH ALL WORKSHOPS. ... See MoreSee Less
