"Learning Life's Lessions,
Avoiding Life's Mistakes!"
Our young people are facing many challenges. Approximately 80 percent of Christian young
people walk away from their faith during the college years. The average person leaves college
with $75,000 of debt. Eighty percent of graduating college seniors have credit card debt before
they even have a job. Because of poor financial planning, many students will be forced to
dropout of college before the completion of their schooling and still possess thousands of dollars
of debt. Many graduates do not pursue a career in the arena in which they were trained - wasting
both time and money.
Far too many young people make wrong choices concerning finances and relationships that
hinder them for years to come. The average American family will make over $2 million in a
working lifetime and nothing is taught about how to manage this money in most high schools
and colleges. Ninety percent of people in our culture buy things they cannot afford. Americans
currently have close to one trillion dollars in credit card debt.
About half of first marriages, and up to 60 percent of second marriages, end in divorce. Of the
marriages that do survive, only 20 percent are reported to be happy marriages. Over half of
young people ages 18-32 believe that you should live together before you get married. However,
the divorce rate is 50 percent higher for couples who cohabit before marriage.
During the last 40 years, out of wedlock births have skyrocketed approximately 500 percent and
the percentage of single-parent families has more than tripled. About one third of American
children are born out of wedlock. Sexually transmitted disease rates in the United States are the
highest in the developed world. One in five sexually active adults may be infected. It is time for
something different!
If there is one word to describe Xtreme Life Training Center, it is “different!” Our program is an
innovative approach to higher education. It is all about preparing people for life, not just a
career. Our heart is to help young adults determine God’s plan for their lives and equip them
with the life skills to succeed in the pursuit of that plan. We believe that we can help them avoid
many of the mistakes that can be so costly. I want you to know that we are serious about their
future! We are determined to “make a difference” in the lives of young people.
