"It's a sin to bore a kid with the gospel"

Jim Rayburn
Founder of Young Life

A "No Matter What Faith"

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."

Habakkuk 3:17-18

Is this the kind of faith the God wants for us? This has been a huge verse in my life as God has continue to "show up" over and over. May you be blessed by these words today!

16th Annual Funky BBQ!

I just got home from Ihop where I was drinking some coffee with our East side leadership team. They have been working so hard this year and loving kids who are really hurting and longing for significance. Tonight was our last club of the school year and also our 16th annual Funky BBQ where "It's all you can eat, 'cause it's all we got". There were over 50 kids there tonight and our team signed up 8 new kids for summer camp. Praise the Lord.

Pancake Breakfast Fund-raiser

Here are some of our kids and leaders working hard at our camp fund-raiser at Stoby's.

Summer Camp

We are heading into the summer and are still signing kids up for camp. Hopefully we will send about 18 of our high school friends and 10 of our teen mothers and their babies to camp this summer. Our Young Life club's are headed to Crooked Creek Ranch, Colorado and our YoungLives group is going to Lost Canyon, Arizona. They will all experience the "Best Week of Their Lives". Many will never be the same as they are impacted by the love of Jesus Christ!

5th Annual Young Life/Incite Golf Challenge

We had another successful year with our golf tournament. Thanks to Incite Rehab and all the golfers who worked hard to make this year's tourney a great time. Also, congratulations to Paul Kostecky who took home the Top Fund-raiser award for the third time in 5 years!

God is Good

Tonight as I got home and reflected on the day, I was reminded how good God is to this mission. All in one night, our East club met and kids heard about Jesus, our West club met and a new group of kids heard about who Jesus is and a group of 13 college girls attended a bible study with some of our leaders. This is beyond me and that's a great thing. I really feel that God is moving this mission past where a few staff people could take it. It truly is becoming a God thing! And that's a beautiful thing! I hope and pray that God moves in a mighty way in this community and the result is TRANSFORMED LIVES. Praise God.
