New Year, New Leader!



Hello Friends of Young Life Lorain County! We have some very exciting news! Throughout this past summer and fall, I had the opportunity to meet and go through our New Leader Training Plan with a student from Lorain County Community College (LCCC). Jacob Roe graduated from Elyria Catholic High School in 2014 and is currently attending LCCC, studying Physical Therapy. 

I am excited to announce that after training, interviewing with our committee, and much, much prayer, Jacob will be placed as a leader at Avon WyldLife. WyldLife club meets at Avon Middle School once a month, and our Campaigners Bible study meets once a month at Panera Bread in Avon. He will join our fastest growing ministry in Lorain County that God has been blessing in big ways. We are so thankful to add Jacob to the team! Please join us in praying for and encouraging this new leader taking part in the mission! 

Romans 10:14-15 says, "But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him, if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? 

That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”


In Him,
@TonyA

So Much to Be Thankful For

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. We had an interest in joining our committee and our prayer team. Banquet attendees were able to meet our awesome leaders (Blog post about them coming soon!). While we still have work to do in raising our yearly budget, we were able to raise our financial go...

5 Years & Fiscal Year End

Image
     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.

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...
