YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

OPERATION

SAVE A LIFESince 2009, the Pickens County YMCA has been focusing on reducing thedrowning rate in Pickens County and Northern Anderson County.Our goal has been to teach as many children as we can to swim,

as well as basic water safety.

In 2012, we taught 609 children to swim at the Easley and PickensYMCA; of which 219 children were taught for free. The local schools

refer need based children in the 2nd & 3rd grade to the Y and we teachthem water safety and swimming basics at no cost to them.

This initiative is funded by the Share the Spirit Fund. (See page 34)

WHAT IS THE DANIEL PLAN?The Daniel Plan is a groundbreaking healthy lifestyle educational program founded biblical principles and focused on The Essentials: Faith, Food, Fitness, Focus andFriends. The program offers an innovative approach to achieving a healthy lifestylewhere people get better together by optimizing their health in each of these life arEach essential supports and influences the others, offering a practical step-by-steapproach for anyone to follow.

The essentials of Faith and Friends are what we call the “secret sauce” that makes

Daniel Plan so effective. The program benefits are accelerated when done in asupportive community of friends because God designed us to thrive in relationshipsWe have learned that the process of getting healthy and staying healthy relies on tsupport and encouragement of friends. With the support of God and your group, yohave far more than willpower helping you to make positive changes so you can beconsistent and sustain your new healthy lifestyle.

The overarching message of The Daniel Plan is about abundance, not deprivation, and this is why theplan is both transformational and sustainable. The Daniel Plan teaches a step-by-step approach andoffers simple ways to incorporate healthy choices into your current lifestyle. Throughout the programyou are encouraged to rely on God’s power, and the application of dependable biblical principles.

HOW DOES IT WORK?The Daniel Plan at the YMCA is a 7 week program that meets weekly to engage in conversation on hoto incorporate biblical teachings of health and wellness into our lives. Each week we address one of5 essential elements of a biblical healthy lifestyle.

You will receive The Daniel Plan book and Journal during the firstmeeting of your class. This will be your primary guide throughthe program.

We encourage you to sign-up with at least one friend. While we hopeyou will make new friends in the class, having at least one person youconnect well with will help keep you committed and accountable.

WHY DOES IT BEGIN WITH FAITH?The Daniel Plan starts with faith, because spiritual health gives you a foundation for building habits perspectives for health in any area. Health comes from recognizing and using God’s power in your lifand treating your body and mind with the care that he intended.

If you don’t trust God to help you get healthy, all you are left with is willpower—and you know fromexperience that willpower doesn’t usually last very long. You get tired of doing what’s right, and yougive up. Many self-help books tell you how to change, while The Daniel Plan gives you the power tochange – God’s power.
