You May Have Already Discovered Young Life's Next Big Thing!

4 minute read


On December 17th, 1903, an amateur photographer named John Thomas Daniels Jr. captured the now-iconic photograph above showing the Wright brothers’ first flight on Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina.  Interestingly, since Daniels’ day job was serving as a member of the Coast Guard, the photograph was the very first one he had ever taken! He ultimately took three pictures that day, and it was several weeks before they were ever developed. Sometimes you don’t realize that you are in the midst of a transformative ‘moment’ until much later.

16 Young Life Camps + 4000 College Students = A Week That Changes Lives

3 minute read


At work weeks across the country, you won’t find college kids going down the slide, competing in a volleyball tournament or racing go-karts. Instead, you’ll find these campers building benches, painting backdrops, shoveling snow and deep-cleaning bathrooms. And yet, many college kids would still say that work week was the greatest week of their lives.

Young Life Club Defined in One Sentence

5 minute read


YOUNG LIFE CLUB:   “RELATIONALLY getting as many kids as possible through the door, then CREATIVELY clearing the path for them to hear the Gospel.  That’s a great definition of Young Life’s club ministry!  Relationships should always be the beginning of a healthy club.   This prevents us from leaning too heavily on gimmicks or the latest ‘how to’ for reaching an age group.

The Greatest Threat to Healthy Ministry

3 minute read


Why did you join Young Life staff?  For most, it wasn’t for a job.  You can make more money doing less work other places.  For most people, it’s the Young Life community that attracts them.  Not just any community but a missional community.  A community with Jesus at the center which exists solely to love those outside of the community.  This is Young Life at its best.
