...we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head...(Ephesians 4:15)
Friends,
It's the season for GRADUATIONS AND WEDDINGS, our Young Life family, included!
In the picture on the left--our very first YoungLives girl, Emely, and her daughter, Martiza, at Emely's high school graduation! Emely beat the odds as Christina, Sarah Ann, and Lee kept loving on her and pointing her to relationship with the God who loves her like crazy.
On the right--Emily and Tyler, Young Life/YLCollege leaders, dancing at their wedding on Saturday. They are just one of FIVE NWA Young Life leader couples getting married this year. What's more--most of these 10 young men and women actually met Jesus through Young Life when they were in high school!
We are also excited about our college graduates moving into the business world, recognizing that as the place God wants to use them. And we are thrilled that 3 graduates are going on full-time Young Life staff--Megan as camp staff at Young Life's Southwind property in Florida, Christine as our full-time administrator, and Amy as Young Life College International staff in Germany.
Please pray...
...that Emely and our other high school graduates will continue in their journey with Jesus. Many will stay involved with us through Young Life College, some to become volunteer leaders while others are still trying to figure out what relationship wtih Jesus means.
...for our newlyweds, that they would represent the love Christ has for the church to a watching world and would continue to be mission-minded Christ-followers.
...for all our college graduates to "grow up in all aspects into him who is the head," wherever God calls them to be.
Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey!
God's Peace,
Robyn Stutts, Area Director
