Be a Tree

What a start we have had in LS YL.  Our first club we had around 180 students show up to have a party with a purpose.  I had the privilege of speaking.  I spoke from Luke 19:1-10 the story of Zacchaeus.  If you get a second read that passage YL is about this passage.  The story is of Zacchaeus an outcast, unloveable, and full of regret wanting to catch a glimpse of Jesus.  Jesus the one he has heard changes life and gives real life.  He gets shut out from the crowd and decides to climb a tree to see Jesus.  

I’m here to say we have YL so you can have fun, feel welcomed, and hear truth.  We are for everyone.  We wanna be a tree… a tree kids can climb to see Jesus.   We are not here only for good kids.  WE are here for everyone.  Those that party or those that don’t, those with secrets, those with pasts, those that are following Jesus, those that are curious and hiding in a tree.  Those who feel unloveable.  Those who lost who they are. 

Can I challenge you to be a tree with us?  Help others who feel unloveable catch a glimpse of the one who gives real life.  Not to judge and think they don’t deserve to be here or time or attn w God.  

First Club

We are also excited to announce that we are starting LS WyldLife.  For more info http://lswl.weebly.com/

Letting Kids Be Kids

Muckfest 2015

We had a blast at our annual kick-off event for LS Young Life- Muckfest.  Muckfest is really just an excuse to have a giant food fight.  This year we also donated canned goods to LS Social Services to help families in need.  Around 100 students came armed with whipped cream and their messy clothes to have a chance to be a kid again.  Over and over I find joy in providing a safe environment loaded with fun to allow kids to act their age.  Students are stressed and often forced to grow up too quickly.  I loved watching them run free, throw whipped cream, ramen, flour, and dance.  What a night!

Our team of leaders and myself are so excited for this school year.  We can't wait for students to come to club (a party with a purpose) and be a kid and hear truth.  Hear and begin to process that they are known and loved by the creator of the universe!

If you know any high school kids in LS area please invite them to join us.  And also look for our leaders in the midst of student sections going to where kids are.
