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...
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...
Every Super Bowl Sunday for the last 4 years, Young Life leaders and kids from around the area all gather at Bay's Memorial field for a friendly, relational game of football. The rules are simple... run hard, get open, hit hard (unless you want to declare only two hand touch) and win! The year Tony Alexander's team and Alex Meyer's team squared off for the showdown of showdowns. Although the teams were random and not just Lorain County vs. Cleveland West, the play was real. Cale LaRiccia (all time QB this year due to a recent surgery) threw for 19 touchdowns to Alex's teams scant 17 touchdowns. Players ages ranged from 16- 51, but many of the old guys still got it! Our leaders play football just like they follow Jesus. They pursue, they tackle, they huddle, they are open and available, they catch, and most importantly, they stick around after the play. Kids around Cleveland know these characteristics to be true of their Young Life le...
