Monthly Newsletter | January 2026

Dear Young Life Family, 

 

As we step into a new year, we’re grateful for the way God is already moving through Greater Puyallup Metro Young Life. January has brought fresh energy as clubs are back in full swing, leaders are showing up faithfully, and students are finding a place where they can be known.

 

With camp registration opening in December, we’re already thinking about the life changing moments that await this summer!

 

Thank you for being part of this ministry. Your prayers, generosity, and partnership make it possible for us to continue walking alongside kids and pointing them toward Jesus.

STORIES FROM THE GREATER PUYALLUP METRO AREA

YoungLives

Shelly Suth, YoungLives Coordinator

"God is really at work within YoungLives in our area and it is exciting and encouraging to be along for the ride. Starting with Mega Club in October, YoungLives has held club every month since. We kicked off the new year with vision boards. Each young mom put pictures and phrases on a poster board to show her goals for the year and who she would like to be. Things like "gratitude", "good things take time", "2026 is my year", and "I am enough" filled the spaces. These brave young women are doing everything they can to be good moms and good people. What a gift it is to walk beside them." 

Currently, there are three adult leaders in the Greater Puyallup Metro YoungLives ministry who are serving ten young moms and two young dads. Three new babies are expected in February with three more are expected in June!
