Young Life Clinch River

😎 And they're off! Our friends are pulling up for a life-changing week. BIG thank you to all friends who have contributed to the Bus Seat Campaign so far--your support makes a HUGE difference this week!

👉 You can still give toward this camp adventure and their next fall trip here: https://clinchriver.younglife.support/bus

🧐 What makes a young person choose to give their life away serving, rather than looking out for themselves? Some of our high school friends have chosen to give 3-4 weeks of their summer break working to give their peers the same life-changing experience at YL camp they had. It's hard work, long hours, and gives a whole new perspective on the good news they heard at YL club all year long.

📬 You can encourage these young folks by sending them some encouraging snail mail while they work! Here are their service dates and addresses.

🚍 The best week of a teenager's life starts with their seat on the bus. Want to help cover transportation costs for a student from Oak Ridge or Clinton to attend SharpTop Cove in just a couple of weeks? Just $50 makes a big difference.

🎓 Walking With Jesus a Year After Graduation (From Work Crew to Wyldlife Leader: Henry's Story)

Let's hear from one of our recent alumni!

"Over the last year, I’ve gotten to serve our Lord through work crew at Windy Gap on outdoor crew (best job by the way), and then I got placed as a Wyldlife leader at a middle school in Cookeville where I go to college. It has been so interesting to experience different styles of serving and the super awesome and more difficult parts of each. I really loved the clear objectives and clearly visible progress of working on the outdoor crew where we could physically see the impacts of our work over just a couple hours; however, that side of things definitely lacks a lot of the sweetness and relationship building that comes from more direct ministry like leading Wyldlife.

"Another aspect that would be silly to omit is the community of friends that I get to serve alongside in either setting. In just these last few months since I’ve been placed, I have made so many friends that love Jesus too, and we get to have fun serving alongside each other and build each other up on our tough days."

It was a joy to walk with Henry in high school, but it's even better getting to be friends with him as he continues to grow in faith and in love for kids where he lives now. Thank you to all our supporters who help make this ministry possible!
