New Life

I had the opportunity to be an assistant coach of girls CC at LSN this past fall. Totally God showing up and giving me a foot in the door at LSN. I met 35 great girls and began to form a relationship with them... earning the right to be heard. Many of the girls knew I was the AD of YL and began coming to YL club and even campaigners. One in particular came week after week. Sticking to the sidelines and and taking it all in week after week. Well last night she said yes to a relationship with Christ. After hearing one of our new leaders Dillon share her story she told me that she wanted a relationship with Christ. I praised her for being bold and asking for help in how to do that... her response, "I'm not bold I've been wanting to do this for 5 months!" So new life begins!!

AMEN

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.
