Leader Recruitment Metting!
The very core of Young Life has nothing to do with camp, club, skits,
teenagers, relationships, or leaders. The only thing that really
matters is Jesus. Young Life didn't and won't die to pay the penalty
for sin. If you love Young Life, Young Life cannot love you back.
Simply put, Jesus is better than Young Life. Jesus is at the core of
Young Life.
The very next circle that would surround the core that is Jesus would
be those whom God has called to enter into the world of kids with
purpose of sharing the gospel. God could speak through dreams,
visions, or cloud formations but he chooses to use people to proclaim
the Good News of his Son! In Acts 10, Cornelius receives a vision but
it was through Peter that he heard and then understood the news of
salvation. The same is true here in Lexington Young Life. God could
save kids from their sins through a variety of means but he chooses in
his grace to use Young Life Leaders to proclaim the gospel!
On April 10th, we had a dinner for current Young Life leaders,
committee persons, and parent support team members to invite their
friends to hear about working with kids. At this meeting 50 or so
potential leaders came to hear about Young LIfe and how God might use
them. It was a great night to meet new people and to hear from
Donielle Wood and Elizabeth Cox who shared how God had moved in their
lives.
We are now in the process of getting to know some of those 50 people
as they seek God's guidance about how he might use them with kids.
Our hope is that they see the opportunity that Peter had in Acts 10 to
see God use his message to redeem kids to himself.

Young Life for Me
My name is Kaitlin. I am from Northern Kentucky, where I went to Beechwood High School. I got involved with Young Life in high school and when I came to the University of Kentucky, I continued to be involved through Collge Life. Now I am leader at Layfayette High School in Lexington. Young Life has had a huge impact on my life. It has deepened my relationship with Christ and given me a wonderful community of believers.
Below are pictures of me from various events I have been to through Young Life.
At Rockbridge junior year.
At Rockbridge senior year.
College Life trip to the Gorge.
Leader Placement. Dylan and I got placed at Lafayette High School.

Community of Leaders
Through leading at Lafayette, I have started to see the impact that the Young Life community has, not only among the kids at the schools we minister to but also, among the leaders.
Jen and Ben
Micah and Angie
I asked Micah to share what the Young Life community has been for him, as a leader.
"Besides my family, Young Life has played the biggest role in developing me as a Christian. Even though I was involved with Young Life as a high school student, it wasn't until I came to college and became a Young Life leader that I really started to see what real authentic Christian community looked like. My life has been forever changed by Jesus Christ and through the community of believers I have as friends in Young Life. Most people are lucky if they have one or two good friends to lean on. There is no question that I have ten to fifteen great friends that I could tell anything too. That is something that is a rarity these days. I owe my life to Jesus Christ for giving me life to the full like he promised. My Young Life community is just one example of the gifts he has given me in my life!"
Grace and Peace,
Kaitlin

My Life and Young Life
Hey everyone! I'm Aarika. I am from Lexington and I wouldn't know Jesus without Young Life. I'd like to show you a few of the places I've been throughout the seven years I have been involved with Young Life! I have been to 6 different camps and they are all incredibly beautiful. They are like little heavens on earth and the things that happen there - the way they change a person's heart - are miracles.
I went to Morton Middle School where I started going to club and went to WYLDLIFE CAMP to SOUTHWIND when I was in 7th grade! Southwind is in Florida.
I went to Tates Creek High School where I went to Young Life camp as a Freshman, Junior and Senior. All three were very different experiences!
Freshman year we went to WINDY GAP$ in North Carolina!
Junior year we went to SHARPTOP COVE in Georgia! This is where I gave my life to Christ.
Senior year we went to CASTAWAY in Minnesota!
Senior year I also went to ROCKBRIDGE LEADER WEEKEND with leaders from Lexington and Northern Kentucky as well as some other areas. Rockbridge is in Virginia.
I also did WORK CREW at TIMBERWOLF LAKE in Michigan! While I was there all the middle schools from Lexington were there for Wyld Life camp!
Now I do College Life at UK and I have met some really awesome students who love Jesus because of Young Life as well.
I got placed as a leader in March at MORTON MIDDLE SCHOOL!
with LOVE,
Aarika
