Check out our music video fro I’m on the Blob. Its our promotional video for going to Rockbridge Young Life camp this summer.

Every year we have a scavenger hunt and do all sorts of shenanigans. This year we had six teams and loads of fun even though it was wet and raining. Here are some highlight videos from each team.

Mary’s team won this year.

Taylor’s talent show was this past weekend and some of the coolest guys put a band together for it. Here is a video of their performance. Check it out!

God still has big plans for Young Life at Taylor. He answered some big prayers that we’ve had for sometime now by placing two new volunteer leaders on our team. Josh and Kelly fresh out of new leader training from the University of Cincinnati are now part of team Taylor. The team is the biggest its been in years with six leaders, 3 guys and 3 girls.

I’m so excited to have them join our team. Every time we get new leaders its like a boost of energy. They are always so eager to get out there to be with kids and love kids for Christ. After leading for five years I will say there are days where its hard to go to the school with a smile on my face, but with new leaders I get this renewing of my passion for students and their relationships with Christ. Their excitement poors into me, and not only am I excited for them but I become excited for the ministry.

I wonder where God is going to have us go or what He will have us do with our new team. I think we’re on the verge of taking the Three Rivers community by storm. However God works in His own time, maybe we are still preparing the way for the greater things that will come. Either way I am thankful to be apart of this ministry and to be apart of this team. 

This weekend is our fall weekend trip for Taylor Young Life. I love fall weekend, I mean it’s the best weekend of the fall! This weekend every year is nothing but absolute fun, building relationships, and Christ. This weekend is completely bathed in Love. You can’t help but to feel the presence of God at a Young Life fall Weekend. Maybe I have a little biased few considering that I first met Christ at fall weekend, but I know for many this weekend will be there first encounter with Christ.

I feel slightly overwhelmed about this weekend. For one I’m older and no where near in the shape I used to be in, and all the games and football are gonna tire me out. Second, we have a lot of guys coming. I am so used to like 5 or 7 guys between Mike and I but there is gonna be more than that this time and I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with them.

Friends, please pray for our weekend. We have a few guys who don’t know the Love of Christ and I pray that they will find that this weekend. We also have a group of girls who will encounter Christ for the first time this weekend. Please pray that we can have good, deep, and meaningful conversations. That we don’t get tired and stay strong. That we can ask the questions that no one else will. That we will be real and unconditional with our friends. Pray that God is there in a big way!

Thank you all!

So a few weeks ago I was asked by our great YL staff to create a video that could explain what Young Life looks like in our area that we could show at our banquet. I knew this task would be big and fun so i decided to it. I am convienced that this video is one of the reasons i have been unemployed for so long now. God wanted me to work on things like this.
Anyways I really impressed myself with this one and I am super excited to share this with you.
