Across North Texas, thousands of teens and young adults are entering adulthood without a safe place to live, trusted relationships, or the basic tools to navigate life. Many are aging out of foster care, experiencing homelessness, or trying to survive without the support of family.
Without ongoing, healthy resources and skillsets, youth from foster care are at high risk of becoming homeless, incarcerated, or trafficked. They don’t need a second chance—they need a first one.
Empower 7 is a Christian, faith-based ministry committed to giving vulnerable youth that first chance—to discover their God-given purpose and reach their full potential. Rooted in Christ’s commandments to care for orphans and to love our neighbors, we serve teens in foster care, aged-out youth navigating adulthood alone, unaccompanied or homeless youth, and young people at risk of family separation due to crisis.
Our faith-rooted, trauma-informed framework includes three progressive program tiers—Blessings, Growth, and Launch—that reflect a young person’s natural development from crisis to independence. Through these programs, youth receive emergency support, life skills training, mentorship, and long-term guidance for independent living.
While we prepare to build the Empower 7 Ranch—a Christ-centered residential community for foster and aged-out youth—we are already actively serving youth through two wraparound initiatives:
Neighborhood Watch supports vulnerable teens (ages 13–18) facing family instability or placement disruption.
RootedPath supports young adults (ages 18–24) as they transition into adulthood without family support.
These wraparound services provide consistent relational, practical, and spiritual support, forming a vital bridge between our current services and the expanded continuum of care that will be offered at the Ranch.
Your generosity makes all of this possible.
Thank you for helping us build hope—one life, one home, and one future at a time.

Our Greatest Need: A Place to Call Home—And Support for the Journey
Empower 7 is lighting the way for youth who have no one else to walk with them. Through our faith-based, trauma-informed programs, we help vulnerable, under-served youth in North Texas rise above crisis, build life skills, and move toward a hopeful future.
Right now, we’re actively serving youth through our Neighborhood Watch and RootedPath wraparound initiatives, along with our Blessings, Growth, and Launch programs. These life-changing efforts provide emergency relief, mentoring, spiritual support, and guidance toward independence.
To continue this work, we need your support in two vital ways:
Give to our annual programs. Your donation helps sustain the everyday support our youth rely on—meals, mentorship, life skills training, crisis intervention, and spiritual care.
Give to our Lighting Their Way Capital Campaign. Help us build the Empower 7 Ranch—a Christ-centered residential community where youth can heal, grow, and discover their God-given purpose. Our greatest need is a donation of land or the financial resources to purchase property for the Ranch.
Together, we can provide hope for today—and a home for tomorrow.
