Start of the Semester

We've had a crazy, crazy start to the semester! After wrapping up a full summer of camp trips, mission trips, and summer campaigners, we hit the ground running when school started.

We kicked things off strong with Young Life College. From a straight week of parties and tabling on campus to weekly Late Nites and small groups, Young Life College is reaching hundreds of students. Our college team is the largest its ever been, and we're so excited to see where God leads us this year.

Our two high school clubs and campaigners have started, as well. Our campaigner kids are stepping up to the plate to help lead their peers, and we're excited to see how God uses them this year.

It's no secret that Capernaum and Young Lives are hard, slow-paced ministries. They've both been in our area for a few years now, and we're so excited that they've gotten some momentum. We're confident God is doing a great work here.

We now have two Wyldlife teams and are reaching the two junior highs in Fayetteville. We're so excited about the growing teams and growing clubs. First Wyldlife event is just a week away!

Six years ago when Young Life began (again) in Northwest Arkansas, it was like trying to "till a concrete field." But in the last six years, God has taken His ministry here to a whole new level. We've built incredible relationships with more kids and students than we could have ever imagined. It's been an absolute blessing and honor to be a part of their transforming lives. And somehow in that, we too are transformed more to the likeness of Christ.

We are so grateful that God invites us to be a part of His ministry here. We're so excited to see all that He has in store for us this year, and we're so thankful that you're a part of it, as well!
