Lorain County Banquet Recap

I’m reflecting on how awesome it is to have this job and so thankful for the people in #LoCoYL and #CLE, who have come around us and support us and the mission! 

Thanks to all who came out to our Western Roundup  banquet, held Saturday night at LCCC. I’m pleased to announce that the event raised more than $24,000 toward the 2017-2018 operating budget for Lorain County!

So Much to Be Thankful For

Image
HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Students from all around NE Ohio at Fall Weekend at Camp Fitch during club We hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and we wanted to share how thankful we are! There are so many things we are thankful for in Lorain County Young Life. We wanted to spotlight just what the Lord did at our annual fundraising Banquet and our Fall Weekend trip with high school students. Banquet Recap             The 2018 Lorain County Banquet was a great success and it couldn't have happened without our great committee & sponsors. We had a room full of adults who care about young people being loved and told about the greatest news that can be told, Jesus Christ and His desire for us.

     It has been 5 YEARS since we took the plunge into the call God had before us, going on staff full time in Lorain County, Ohio. He has grown and changed me and Megan so much through the past 5 years and our family! We packed up our cars and our brand new puppy, Kota, and drove out to Cleveland unsure of what the Lord really had in store for us. From the time we got hired to our first 3 months, we went from 3 staff in the area to just me. I was hired to be in the area under an Area Director and upon arriving that role was vacant. God stretched us and graciously led us to step into that role as we learned on the run. We have faced a lot of turns like that in our time here but God has been faithful to provide a way. Our family has also radically changed. We are now blessed to have our two boys! Aiden is 3 years old and Fin is 7 months old. God has done a lot of new things in our lives, things we have desperately had to rely on Him for help with. We have had opport...

The Mission Continues      In the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic so many things about everyday life have changed and Young Life has not been immune to the hurdles the outbreak has created. While we have made adjustments for the safety and well-being of students and leaders in complying with the state and federal standards, we have not stopped in the intentional pursuit of our mission to "introduce adolescents to Jesus and help them grow in their faith." One of our first Zoom Clubs  Pressing On     Here are some of the things we are doing to press on and make the most of what God is doing: Weekly Leadership meeting. A time to pour into and check on our leaders as well as creatively collaborate on some of the best ways to reach and care for kids. Weekly Campaigner Bible studies on Zoom. Kids still have a place to come dig deeper into the Word and ask questions. Bi-Weekly Club meetings on Zoom. We make a space to have fun, break down walls...
