A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Wow. We have had our first 3 clubs of the semester and they have been epic. We are averaging 130 kids each week. If they come... they come back. Our camp trip to Lost Canyon YL Camp for this summer is SOLD OUT with 74 students and a wait list has already been started. God is good. Take a look through some pictures of the last 3 weeks and see what is happening through LS YL.


YL Camp is SOLD OUT!!!! Record breaking numbers this year and excitement to experience the best week of our lives!


YL Club students hearing TRUTH... Week #1- The were created on purpose for a purpose. Week #2 God came to us through Jesus. Jesus was 100% God and 100% human. He wants to spend time with us. Week #3 Jesus meets us where we are, He runs to us.

First Club of Semester

I am thankful for this team of YL Leaders! These leaders give up their time, gas money, and energy to share life and Jesus with high school students. Without these leaders YL would not exist.

Thank you to: Brian Keller, Josh Fuller, Warren Frevert, Sydnee Mela, Jessica Burton, Paul Moore (hiding in this pic), Kelsi Worihaye, Curtis Edwards, Audrey Lanier, Allison Hunt.

Thank you to those who volunteer to bring us a meal each week to show your appreciation for all they do. Each week before club we the leader team meets, eats, and prays for students. It has become such a blessing! If you would like to donate a meal we have some dates left. Contact me at: traceecobb@gmail.com

Last night we had our first Club of the semester. 130 students showed up. Three things (well four this week) happened:

1. Students had FUN! 2. Students felt welcomed and a part of the YL FAMILY. 3. Students heard TRUTH about Jesus. That God created them on purpose for a purpose. That after He created them He saw it was VERY GOOD. 4. We introduced Otto Cobb (my 2 month old son) with an epic intro! He came in during the "Circle of Life" from Lion King and was held up as Simba. He's got a big fan club of high school students and is so loved!

5 C's of Young Life

Club: Club is our once a weekly event that lets kids be kids. We give kids the opportunity to be kids again by singing, dancing, and playing crazy games. Students hear a message from the Bible in terms they can understand. YL club is for everyone, no matter where they stand in their faith.

Contact Work: Where there are high school kids there are YL leaders. We believe in earning the right to be heard by building friendships with kids. We come to their turf, whether that's sporting events standing in the stands beside them or coming up to after school and grabbing a Sonic.

Campaigners: Campaigners are small groups made up of students and a leader committed to sharing their lives, struggles, and joys with one another. Student grow deeper in their faith as they explore the Bible and God's love in a life-changing way.

Camp: Young Life states...."Camp is the best week of your life." That is a proven fact. Kids get the chance to have adventure camping at resort quality facilities and share an unforgettable experience. Kids get to leave their normal routine while they hear about and process the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Church: Young Life is not the church. We desire our students to be a part of local a congregation. If our students are ready to go deeper we strongly encourage them to attend a local church.
