YL starts up next week, which is crazy but so exciting! I can’t wait to start meeting kids!! Our leadership weekend was a success -- thanks for your prayers! It was a rich time of community, an intentional time of planning, and we are all stoked to start up next week! I will be working closely with Alex, the Staff Associate, this year as the Young Life West-Side intern. What does that mean? Basically, that I will be overseeing high school ministry on the west-side of San Jose. I will be getting to know kids at Country Day and Lighthouse schools, and will have the privilege to live life with them. We will have Club every other Wednesday and hangouts every Friday on the weeks without Club. I will also help Alex lead Campaigners (a Bible study) every week for high school girls.
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!! Can’t wait to see the Lord show up and transform lives this semester! Our first Club is September 4th and we’re doing color wars! Aka, having a full out paint war! Please join me in praying for this event. Pray that kids come and experience Christ in a way they never have before. Pray that the fun that we have is a snapshot of what life with Christ is like. Pray that kids have open ears to the message of the Gospel. Pray that we can present opportunities this semester for every kid here to meet Jesus Christ and follow him.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Happy birthday, Alex! Glad we could welcome year 25 with you with some Gringa food!! Looking forward to serving with these ladies this year! Bonnie is on the left and Rachel on the right, both of whom are interns. And Alex, who is on YL staff, is in the black. We missed you, Jessie! Safe travels back from Nicaragua!
