"My week at Malibu Young Life club with Sitka Young Life was a life-changing experience. Being here I was able to fully receive God into my heart. He has shown me that I can fall freely into his arms. What was most meaningful to me was that I was able to find myself during this week. I want to thank you for all your support. Your support has not only change my life but has helped hundreds of kids lives as well I pray that you know that you are greatly appreciated. God bless"

Learning more about the story of God being so much to me because I thought I already knew the story, but it turned out that I have so much more to learn."

"At the beginning of the week I didn't know how to comprehend God but by the end of the week, I started to understand it."

"Thank you for supporting Sitka Young Life and helping me experience the best week of my life."

3. 2. 1. Out of School and Off to Camp!




The end of the school year is a big transition.  For those of us who work with students from Mt. Edgecumbe, summer tends to make us feel like parents who watch their kids leave and we hope we have prepared them. This year we graduated a great core group of seniors who are involved and solid in their faith.  We look forward to seeing how God leads and uses each of them.  

Yesterday a group of 29 left for Malibu Young Life camp in British Columbia.  Young Life camp is an awesome place with outstanding people and they do a fabulous job presenting the Gospel.  Please keep our group in your prayers this week and pray that kids would really open up and respond to God's amazing love story.
