Good afternoon, friends,
For Day 2 of our fall giving campaign, I want to slow down and simply share a story—a real picture of what God is doing in the lives of students here in Sitka. This is Reaghan’s experience in her own words:
“Young Life helped me grow closer to God in ways I never expected. Honestly, I don’t think I would’ve made it through boarding school without it. It became a place where I felt comfortable, accepted, and included.
Club was always a highlight—full of energy, laughter, snacks, and games, but also meaningful moments reading the Bible at the end. I loved that campaigners let us go deeper in smaller groups. Those mornings with delicious breakfasts and heartfelt conversations were some of my favorite times.
And then there’s camp. I highly recommend it. Camp was such an intimate experience where I got to know the people I worked with and the amazing kids I met. I came home inspired to help bring Young Life to my own community. Seeing kids grow in their faith and build new friendships has been incredible.
Young Life has impacted me so deeply. I’ve gained a stronger faith—and a new family I’m forever thankful for.”
Stories like this are happening because leaders show up, people pray, and folks partner financially.
Today isn’t about asking—it's simply about seeing.
Seeing what God is doing.
Seeing how He meets kids in their fears, friendships, questions, and hopes.
Seeing lives transformed one invitation, one conversation, and one prayer at a time.
Thank you for being the kind of community where a story like Reaghan’s can grow roots and flourish.
Tomorrow, I’ll share more about where we believe God is leading Sitka Young Life in the year ahead.
Gratefully,
Aaron
