YOUNG LIFE:
Mission: Introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ while helping them grow in their faith.
Goal: Supply excellent Young Life ministry in 7500 schools and outreach locations in the USA & internationally
Progress: As of May 2008, Young Life was in more than 4,639 schools & outreach locations worldwide.

Young Life Leaders invest in spending time with kids; they care about “their joys, triumphs, heartaches, and setbacks.” Young Life believes that from the adult interaction and relationship building, “the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they [the kids impacted] based upon God’s love for them, will impact future decisions… career chosen, marriages formed and families raised.”

Young Life is about going to where unchurched kids are and showing them who Jesus is through consistent relationship in their lives. Young life is building relationships with kids and walking them towards relationship with God or walking with them when they give their lives to Jesus. It’s about having fun and building community for those who would never step into a church on their own; or rather bringing Jesus to them.” -Ruth Cortess (Young Life Leader)
