Hello friends and family! Thank you so much for supporting the ministry the Lord has put before me. I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to serve on Young Life staff. Through eight months of prayer about my call into this ministry, I can confidently say that the Lord has called me to Young Life. I am really excited about this new season the Lord has in store for myself and His ministry. I am so thankful you are a part of making a difference in these kids lives.
This year was a great start! Our first club was awesome! From now we are doing an integrated club with San Clemente and San Clemente Downtown! Corey (New Area Director for San Clemente Young Life) did a great talk on how Jesus wants us to come to Him to celebrate! We have a handful of new leaders and I was so encouraged for this new school year!
I have a group of 12 Juniors in high school that I have been mentoring for the past year. I took them to camp this past year and it was amazing! Never cried and laughed so much in my life! 7 of my girls committed their lives to Christ. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h79apOT41Mg) They are on varsity cheer this year and 3 of the 11 are doing Jr. Leading for my cabin times (bible studies) It is so amazing to see how the Lord has been moving in each of their lives and how thirsty they are for the word! I am really excited about this upcoming year to see how the Lord is going to grow them.
Please pray for :
*My personal spiritual balance. I have been struggling with balancing Young Life, my personal life, school and my spiritual replenishment.
*My encouragement starting this new job and just where the Lord has me in life.
*Young Life Club- that there will be a smooth transition for combining Downtown and San Clemente.
*Finances- My budget for the year is $13,000, I still need to raise $7,000 of that!
*Leaders- Pray for the encouragement for all the leaders and that the Lord will provide new potential leaders.
*YL girls- pray that they will continue following Him and will pursue a stronger relationship with Him.
