• Young Life ministry has continually reminded me of how deeply God loves and blesses me. Through this ministry, I found not just a team, but a family—staff who have supported me, guided me, and helped me grow in my faith from then until now. Their impact has inspired and motivated me to reach more young people—not just any kid, but every kid, especially those who feel lost, unwanted, or unheard. This calling fuels my heart to sit with young people, build genuine relationships, introduce them to Jesus Christ, and walk with them as they grow in their faith.

• The Young Life ministry has brought so much transformation into my life—and into the lives of those around me, especially my family. It deepened our faith in God, strengthened our relationships with one another, and even changed the way we connect with our neighbors in the community. In the beginning, I found it difficult to reach out to young people. But by God’s grace, He led me right to where they are. He gave me the opportunity to share my testimony—how He rescued me—and use it to speak into their lives, helping them see how God is also working, moving, and writing a story of hope in theirs.
