Ministry Highlight Thursday - Young Life

This weeks ministry highlight has a special place in my heart. Some friends introduced me to Young Life many years ago and just recently I began volunteering with the Wyld Life group at Christ Church. Wyld Life is the middle school division of Young Life. Young Life is a great organization that wants youth to meet Christ and follow Him. A good friend describes it this way, "It's youth group for the unchurched and disinterested teens." Young Life partners with local schools and volunteers to provides opportunities for leaders to build positive, Christ-centered relationships with teenagers. By building relationships with teenagers, adult leaders can display a Godly lifestyle, answer questions, and challenge youth in daily life. This quick blurb can't possibly explain or describe the amazing impact Young Life and it's volunteer leaders can have in teenager's lives. I challenge you to go to www.younglife.org to find out more information about the organization and how you can help - prayerfully, as a volunteer, or financially - in your area.
