Adults Who Care

My oldest child went to Lake Champion this summer for the first time. I wasn't sure how he would react to fully accepting Jesus. When I picked him up a week later, he was the first one off the bus and, grinning from ear to ear, picked me up, hugged me and thanked me for the best five days of his life. Needless to say I was speechless but thankful. He has taken a very active interest in Young Life, and his younger siblings are eager to start WyldLife this school year. After a very difficult past three years for all of us, this is the start of great things to come!  – Cheryl, feedback via younglife.org

 

When Young Life leaders are physically present on our campus, there is a difference… our school runs better when they are here.

The intensity of the fun at Young Life camp was great but so was the intensity of the effort of serving students and helping them discover the reality of the Gospel in their lives. I was impressed to hear the testimonies of students who’ve experienced pain, been loved by Young Life staff and discovered the love of Christ through that. That is why we’re so supportive of Young Life. Our church has a history of being very committed to Young Life. Some people in our church are financially supportive, some are on committee and many people in our church came to faith through Young Life. We want to be a strong partnership for the ministry.  – Mark, a pastor in California

I am currently a missionary in Slovakia with Mission to the World and have had several interns who have worked with Young Life. They have been extremely well trained and have done a great job getting to know students and building relationships with them.  – Miriam, missionary in Slovakia

The Capernaum Young Life camp was absolutely worth a million! Seeing a young person who lives in a wheelchair going down a zip line is a sight to behold. Rockbridge is an opportunity to share the love of Christ with those who need it most. What a blessing! Every day, every moment at Rockbridge is another hour that you see the face of Jesus — loving, serving, seeing the work of the Holy Spirit in action.

I wanted to thank Young Life for helping to lead me to the Lord more than 29 years ago. A high school friend invited me to a winter weekend retreat. It was there that I heard the Gospel for the first time in my life. The presenter was excellent and answered my many questions. I am so thankful for the outreach of Young Life and for meeting me right where I was in my life. God bless your continued work.  – Traci, Idaho
