What is this Young Life thing all about anyway.......
Young Life began in the 1940's in Gainsville, TX. and is now a worldwide outreach to teenagers. Young Life has young adults and young professionals who volunteer their time as leaders who do "contact work" at local schools, spending time watching and showing an interest in kids lives, developing a frienship and, and "earning the right to be heard" and talk about life and what kind of impact Jesus has had on their lives. Each week, club is the place to be! It's an evening we get together and have a great time with hilarious skits, games, competitions, surprises, music, and a brief time where we open the Bible and share what it says about life. For kids who're interested in learning more about God, campaigners is Young Life's version of a small group. Here, our leaders talk about how life and God match up and what the Bible has to say about many of the circumstances we all experience. Our hope is to connect each student who wants, to a local church where they can get involved and grow deeper in their faith and knowledge of Jesus. But don't forget camp. During the summer, we take bus loads of kids to "the best week of their lives, or their money back!" Young Life has over 20 properties around the world, and hosts thousands of teenagers each year at an incredible Camp Resort. It's not your normal experience, but one that is far above any expecations and designed specifically for teenagers! If you are an YL alumni, we'd love you to re-connect with us! If you have any questions or would like to speak to one of our local staff, please contact Mike Cone at 469-693-2089.
