Welcome to Connections!
It's Thanksgiving season and we are grateful for all the meaningful impact that God is inviting us into. More than ever, it's a time to celebrate, invite, highlight and be "in the know" of what's happening in the world of Women Who Love Young Life.

Last month, women gathered from around the country for the 4th Global Giving Circle in Charleston, SC, and had an incredible time together while pooling their same donations together and giving away $1 Million to Young Life globally! These women directed funds towards prospective and current initiatives in the mission for Next Gen Graduates, YL South Sudan, Summer Intern Experience, Equipping Global Volunteers and Multiplying U.S. Volunteers. To see a 1 min. recap video of the time, click HERE.

Have you heard of our local giving circles? Like the impact above, women are gathering in local areas and regions and inviting others to an engaging "party with a purpose"! Women all over the country are making greater differences together than they might on their own. Click HERE to learn more or email us to discuss our model of team hosting.
- Women's Vision Trips are a great way to see YL in action! We have new opportunities in 2025:
-
Costa Rica - join Christy Sneed and Keri Lumm March 1-8. We have 4 spots left, email Christy to learn more.
-
Mexico - join Jamie Lisea and Susan Peterson in March and visit ministries in Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende. Email Jamie to learn more.
- YL's Lost Canyon camp (Williams, AZ) - join Nancy Brandon, Joanna Refvem and Laurie Rachford for a front row seat watching the Lord working in the lives of kids at camp July 23-28. Email Nancy to learn more and hear about the beautiful guest lodge.
-
We have a ministry called A Widow's Way to come alongside women in various seasons who have experienced loss. If you or someone you know would appreciate connection with this growing community, click HERE or email us for more information.
- Would you like to pray? Join us on Mondays on Instagram Live, with an invited guest and host in conversation about their journeys and a time of prayer for the mission of Young Life together. Follow along!

It has been a joy to watch CHRISTY SNEED growing in her gifts! She's an inviter, and a connector - helping others experience God's heart of generosity. She leads this in her community through giving circles and retreats, and is preparing to lead a vision trip for women this next spring to experience the ministry of Young Life firsthand in Costa Rica (she also co-lead a trip in 2023 to Scotland). Christy serves on the Executive Campaign Committee for Latin America and has also participated and invited women to The Getaway and The Global Giving Circle. Most recently she was with us in Charleston and said this about her current Young Life involvement:
"I’m blessed to have the opportunities to serve YL in several different ways. It’s incredible to be able to come alongside others, encourage each other, share stories of God’s faithfulness, and use our resources to bless the leaders and kids in Young Life. I am so surprised at how joyful and blessed I feel!! God is so good to invite us into what he is doing!"
Christy lives in Greenville, SC with her husband Chris and has three adult sons. She is passionate about her business and using the time and season she is in to invite others to experience the love of God and make an impact in the lives of kids through Young Life.
