与我一同敬拜

与我一同敬拜 is a 利昂县警长’s Office initiative to connect local, 有宗教场所的危险青年, to form a meaningful and impactful mentorship experience. 这是一个 social-science and data driven project. Data shows that 宗教 matters in the lives of our kids. 研究证明，年轻人, who attend at least one worship experience weekly, significantly decrease their chances of illegal activity and significantly increases their chances of academic success.
