If there was one word that could encompass this past year of Young Life, it would be faithful. God's faithfulness as He provided over and over again, for the needs of staff, leaders, kids, and the QC Young Life area. The faithfulness of leaders as they consistenly entered into the lives of kids amidst a myraid of circumstaces. The faithfulness of adults and donors who stepped in as the area needed your help and remained steadfast in your support of staff, leaders, and the mission of this ministry in the community.
This year, kids have had life changing encounters with Jesus through Young Life, in large part because of your continued partnership and support.
Thank you for making it possible for leaders to show up faithfully in the lives of kids.
Leaders have walked with kids through academic successes and losing seasons, tireless cheering during all kinds of school events and crushing break-ups. They've seen kids through two rounds of finals and several parent cancer diagnoses, never-ending friend drama and multiple suicides of close friends. Together they’ve celebrated victories, talked through kids' doubts, fears and feelings of self-worth and sat with families and students as they’ve grieved losses.
And the community is being changed because of it.
Kids are encountering Jesus because of it.
And leaders are learning what it looks like to love kids through the absolute hardest because of it.
Because of you. Because you choose to stand in the thick of it with us. To faithfully show up in Love in ways that matter.
Thank you. A million times over.
Join us in celebrating the impact your faithful partnership has meant this year in Young Life Quad Cities.
