Slide Show for
the Ambassador of Purpose Award
 |
In 1992 visionary John Meredith founded Aspiring Youth of Houston. Through his many hours of volunteering with at-risk youth, and seeing them parade through the justice system, he knew that something had to be done to help these unfortunate victims of circumstance. John did what few else would. Instead of looking the other way, he took the incredibly selfless step of leaving a career of practicing law to devote himself to helping kids who would otherwise have no one.

In honor of his altruism, Arrow Child & Family Ministries named John a 2008 Ambassador of Purpose. The Ambassadors of Purpose Luncheon was held at the River Oaks Country Club, with special guest speaker Jenna Bush. This Honor was also awarded to Foster/ Adoption Advocate and Reining Mrs. USA, Terri Jagger and Senior Pastor of Windsor Village United Methodist Church, KirbyJon Caldwell. In attendance were John’s family, who has over the years graciously shared him with Aspiring Youth, as well as many friends and collages. On behalf of all the thousands of children that have been helped in the Aspiring Youth Program, we would like to take this opportunity to proudly say “Thank you, John”. |
