"Young LIfe has brought so much light into my life. I was once told by a leader: 'Find a vacation in every week.'...meaning to plan at least one thing a week that you look forward to. for me, that was young life club on thursday nights. all my leaders are so genuine and encouraging and brought the fun to club every week. young life has taught me so much about who I am and where I am in my walk with jesus. I have been shown so much love and learned that the love of jesus follows me wherever i am-he is the light all around."
