COVID changed a lot for many of us—including the pause of our WyldLife team, which focuses on reaching middle school students.
I’m excited to share that WyldLife is coming back to Sitka this fall! We're building a passionate team of leaders who are committed to showing up in the lives of kids, creating unforgettable memories, and sharing the hope we have in Jesus.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support—it truly makes a difference!
Since my last update, it’s been an exciting and full season! We hosted two well-attended Baccalaureate services, attended two graduations, wrapped up our final club and breakfast Bible studies, and coached at two middle school track meets. We’ve also had the joy of celebrating with so many students, their friends, and families. Even more exciting—there’s been a recent surge of youth attending church, taking first communion, and, most importantly, stepping toward Jesus in meaningful ways. It’s been incredible to witness! Thank you for your continued prayers and financial partnership—your support truly makes a difference.
What a weekend with Sitka Young Life!
On Saturday, three leaders went to a student’s baptism.
That evening, leaders made a special prom dinner for 11 girls.
Another leader hosted 5 guys for a sauna and cold dip and shared about faith.
On Sunday, many YL students went to church and invited friends.
On Monday, 65 kids came to club and last week 28 attended Bible study breakfast
Today, 2 alumni are signing up to serve at youth camp this summer!
Thank you for supporting Sitka Young Life—your partnership makes a difference!
We had an great turnout for Winter Blast, with 34 kids joining us on Friday night and from noon to 10 PM on Saturday! Young Life staff traveled from Ketchikan and Wasilla to help make the weekend special. We gathered at Sitka Assembly of God, with delicious meals and snacks provided by generous individuals, by the Episcopal Church, by Sitka Christian Center, and along with generous donations from Sea Mart.
Jonna and Ken from Wasilla kept us laughing with their hilarious skit as “fashion rain gear designers,” getting the kids involved in a variety of fun games. Spenser from Ketchikan Young Life led us in singing, and Aaron shared three messages breaking down the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15. After each talk, Emily, Iris, and Ken shared parts of their own stories—describing life before they knew God, how God met them, and how God is transforming their minds and hearts. Their stories were a highlight!
The weekend was packed with unforgettable moments, from Silent Disco and field games to "Bigger and Better" and the ultimate night game, "Grog." Both kids and leaders walked away encouraged, and many took meaningful steps of faith.
Thank you for your prayers, support, and for being part of the team as we reach out to Sitka and beyond!
This past weekend was so great! In so many ways God showed up and we all had a wonderful time. There were so many games and stories, so much laughter, and so many ways for leaders to share God's love in many activities- whether through sharing life stories or playing cards. Thank you so much for your prayers and support! For a full description- please click the following link.
