Camp in April??

Actually, no, we are GOING TO LAKE CHAMPION from August 1st - 4th. But NOW is the time for us to start raising support so our teen moms and their babies can have "The Best Week of Their Lives" -- YoungLives style! They will be able to set aside their daily struggles (& phones!) and simply enjoy being kids again in a supportive, God-centered environment. They'll experience in a fresh way the wonder of God's deep love for them, and they'll be challenged to open their hearts fully to Jesus. We are starting to fundraise this month and would love for you to partner with us. Along with our teen moms Dyna and Jaylee, we will need to cover the transportation costs and camp expenses for two staff members and a childcare worker, for a total of about $3900. If you would like to have a part in changing these girls' lives, you can make a donation at https://giving.younglife.org/PA79YLivesCampDonate

Club News
We had a wonderful beginning to the new year at January's Club. Each teen mom created handmade cards for special people in her life. We were served a delicious meal by Ginny from First Reformed Church of Penn Hills, and we learned about God as our provider.
We also started something new this year: during each Club we have a short discussion on abstinence.
We thank Lloyd and Tani Massie for serving us a delicious meal in February and sharing a wonderful time in the Word, along with praise and worship by their granddaughters.
Our March Club was a fun & Spirit-filled time of fellowship. Pasquale's Pizzeria in Penn Hills donated delicious pizza for our meal, while our volunteer Debra brought a salad & yummy cupcakes. We discussed with the teen moms the true meaning of Easter. Then we all wrote things on sticky notes and put them on an eight-foot cross to symbolize us giving them to Father God. It was such a beautiful moment.

Trivia Night was a whole lotta fun!
More than 170 people gathered at Hebron Church for a night of food, fellowship, laughs, testimonies, and challenges. Some of the challenges were silly, and some of the trivia questions were real stumpers! But we also heard passionate teenagers tell awesome stories of God at work in their lives. People were moved to donate a total of about $25,000 to help support the work of Young Life right here in our own community! We are so thankful!

Please pray for:

Our teen moms: open ears and hearts
Our mentors: wisdom and patience - and we need more mentors!
Our volunteers: energy and perseverance
Our upcoming camp trip: finances, and effectiveness in reaching the girls' hearts

Thank you!
