Dylan's Story

We'd love to share with you all one of our high school friend's story! Our Wyldlife and Young Life leaders have walked with Dylan over the last four years, and we are excited to continue walking with Dylan through Young Life College. Here is part of his testimony:

Young Life has been an amazing part of my life. I come from your typical broken kind of home, I grew up never knowing my dad, my mom was a bit of an alcoholic, and I didn't see my family a lot either. So when I first became a part of Young Life it was kind of more of a haven at first. But through the leaders and friends that I made I came to know God.
And with that it gave me the confidence to fix a lot of the problems I couldn't before. So, I can now gladly say that my mom's been sober for almost two years, and although at times it's still a bit of a challenge, our relationship has improved by leaps and bounds. And now I've been visiting my grandparents basically every other weekend. And I can't say enough about the friends I've made, both because of God and Young Life.

Dylan's story points us all to truth--to the One who wants "to give us the kingdom" (Luke 12:32). 

We are so thankful God allows us to be a part of Dylan and so many others' stories in Fayetteville and Springdale!
