Summer 2013!

We had a great end to the semester! We placed 13 new leaders, and are so excited to see what God does in the fall. But first we have BIG things happening this summer. Our second annual Young Life College mission trip to Macedonia was a huge success. We also had a team of college students at Sharptop for Week Week to get the camp ready for thousands of high schoolers this summer. More on those trips later!

Our Wilderness trip leaves in just another week! We have a small group of high school guys going on a backpacking trip in Colorado. Be praying for fun and safety. Pray that the Lord will open hearts and do great things on this trip.

Our high school trip to Crooked Creek leaves not too long after that. We're taking a full bus load of high schoolers and leaders to Crooked Creek in Colorado for a week of summer camp. Pray for spontaneity, fun, safety, and that the Lord will be working in their hearts now in the days leading up to the trip.

At the beginning of July we have Young Lives camp for our teen moms. We'll be taking a group of girls to a lake house for a few days. Pray for fun times, safety, energy, and vulnerable hearts.

We also have a number of high school and college students serving at Young Life camps either on work crew or summer staff throughout the summer. Pray that as they give themselves away, they will experience Christ in ways they never have before.

Discipleship Focus in Branson, MO partners with Young Life to disciple leaders for an entire summer. Over the last several years we've been sending college students there and they come back completely transformed. It makes significant impacts in their ministries, but most importantly in their own personal walks with Christ. This year, we are sending 11 students! Pray for transformed hearts and lives.

Last but not least, we have a bible study, Taco Tuesday, for college students staying in Fayetteville this summer. We'll eat dinner together and then study the seven feasts in the Old Testament and how they're fulfilled in Christ. Pray for strong community and fellowship.

Thank you so much for your support, donations, and prayers this summer. We're so excited about how God will move in individual lives!
