The aim of YL is to reach out to young people and disciple them. To simplify it: we are to disciple. This is the second person plural active imperative from the Great Commission (Mt. 28:19). Translation: Do it! Disciple! With camp around the corner, I’ve been praying and encouraging others […]
The long-awaited announcement of the candidates for new president of YL have been announced. Two of the well-known candidates have made official statements which can be found here. But, a third and unexpected candidate has been named… This candidate has built his platform for the YL presidency on his statement […]

On December 10th, 2007 I put up my first post on YLHelp. Over the first summer I decided to do a series on “This Year…”. In these posts I reflect over the summer on things I learned over the course of the previous school year. Summer is a good time […]
We leave for camp on Friday and have been in thick of camp training. One of the universal things YL leaders learn in training is that camp is (at minimum) a two week commitment… the week of camp and then follow-up. Many of us are spent when we get back […]
Howdy Partner! Many moons ago the infamous Rick Wilson pulled me aside and taught me how to lead the square dance at summer camp. I’ve been doing it ever since. Sometimes I do it for our club. I just did it for our year end leader party. A Crossfit gym […]
