Started going when I was about 15... A couple of my older cousins had gone to camp (Woodleaf) and I started noticing this dude Anthony (definitely not of high school age).
SIDENOTE:
This is how awesome this ministry is...
Anthony used to come on campus with a back and when students asked him what he was doing... he would tell them “I never finished high school so I’m here taking classes”. This was genius because some people actually believed that and would talk about it... he created a sort of rumor about himself and piqued some interest. He would just show up... wherever kids were he was down to go.
I also remember him telling me that “It’s a party bro! Come check it out!” when I asked what Young Life was.... And then I was hooked. Me and my homies went every week... we loved it. Even though we were doing stupid things and making bad/wrong decisions... we still loved going.
I remember this going to Woodleaf for summer camp and giving my heart and my life to Jesus Christ... and I was never the same... neither was my life.
I’ve been sent on a journey and it’s taken me to crazy, fun places and I’m doing things I never would have ever thought of doing. I left my family and some of the best friends a person could ever have... for HIM.
I’m definitely out of my comfort zone... but I’m loving it!
here are some pics from Young Life in Truckee...
Still loving this stuff... 8 years later.
Been bumpin this for the past couple of days... RJD2-The Perfect Occasion
