“I wrote an essay about my hero. It was about you.”

Imagine hearing those words from a student you’ve been accompanying.

Recently, one of our volunteers heard those exact words. She attended a band concert to support a young lady she’s gotten to know through Ablaze Youth Outreach.

What began as a simple relationship has grown into something beautiful. A once-shy student is finding her voice, growing in confidence, and discovering what it means to have someone in her corner.

No grand gestures. No extraordinary programs. Just someone who keeps showing up.

Never underestimate what God can do through your simple YES to another person. This is the heart of Ablaze.

Today we celebrate Pope St. John Paul II, one of Ablaze’s patron saints, whose invitation to encounter Jesus and carry His love into the world continues to inspire our mission.

At Ablaze, we believe young people are a vital part of the Church today. Through Youth Outreach, Ablaze Connect, and Ablaze Parish Missions, we walk alongside them as they discover Christ’s love and their own call to share it.

One encounter with Jesus can change a life, and through that life, transform families, schools, parishes, and entire communities.

This is why we accompany. This is why we invite. This is why we are Ablaze.

May we follow Pope St. John Paul II’s example, living the Gospel with joy and sharing it without fear.

St. John Paul II, pray for us!

What if you gave two years of your life to showing young people that they are known, loved, and never beyond the reach of God’s grace?

Ablaze Youth Outreach missionaries serve where young people already are—>building relationships, creating spaces of belonging, sharing the Gospel, and walking alongside teens through both the joys and challenges of life.

AYO Missionary Track | 2 Years: Commit to consistent, relational ministry with young people while growing in discipleship, leadership, and your own life with Christ.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You simply need a heart willing to say yes.

Your mission could start here.

HAPPY FEAST OF ST. MOSES THE BLACK!

Today we celebrate the patron saint of Ablaze Youth Outreach and a saint whose story gets right to the heart of our mission.

St. Moses had a past. A BIG one. But when he encountered a community that saw beyond his mistakes and refused to give up on him, everything changed. He encountered Christ. He found belonging. And his life was transformed.

That’s what we want for every young person who walks through our doors.

A place to be known. A place to belong. A place to be challenged. A place to encounter Christ.

Because your past doesn’t define your future, and no one is beyond the transforming power of God’s grace.

St. Moses the Black, patron of Ablaze Youth Outreach, pray for us!

What if you gave a year or even three years of your life to serving the Church, walking with young people, and helping build a culture of discipleship in a parish community?

Ablaze Parish Missions places missionaries directly in parishes, where they invest in young people, accompany families, form volunteers, and help communities grow into vibrant places of faith.

Here at Ablaze, we have two ways you can say yes:

🔥 JPII Track | 1 Year: Give one intentional year to mission…serving, growing, and discerning where the Lord may be calling you next.

🔥 Bosco Track | 3 Years: Go deeper through a three-year commitment to missionary discipleship, leadership, and long-term investment in a parish community.

You can learn more about Ablaze and our mission tracks at ablaze.us!

What would happen if you gave God your yes? Maybe it’s one year serving alongside a team. Maybe it’s two years reaching young people who need someone to show up. Maybe it’s three years preparing for a lifetime of leadership in the Church.

🔥 JPII Service Track — 1 Year
🔥 Ablaze Youth Outreach — 2 Years
🔥 Bosco Leadership Track — 3 Years

Different paths.
One mission: transform the Church through mission to youth.

We’re excited to announce our keynote speaker for our 2026 Boerne Benefit Dinner: Mr. Stan Laing!

For four decades, Stan has shaped the lives of students, coaches, and educators across Texas; but what makes us especially excited to welcome him is his deep passion for mentorship, relationships, and walking alongside young people and those who serve them.

We can’t wait for you to hear from Stan this October! Join us October 10 in Boerne at the Cana Ballroom. You can learn more using the link in our bio!

Ablaze is officially 15 YEARS OLD! Which means we are now old enough for a learner’s permit!

A few important things as Ablaze enters this exciting new season of life:
* Ablaze may now operate a motor vehicle, but only with a responsible adult present.
* Ablaze will begin asking if it can stay out later because “everyone else’s nonprofit gets to.”
* Ablaze is expected to become increasingly expensive to feed.
* Ablaze already thinks it knows everything.
* Please do not give Ablaze the aux cord.
* We have approximately one year before Ablaze starts asking to borrow the car.

In all seriousness, 15 years of Ablaze is worth celebrating! Fifteen years of missionaries, youth ministry, and outreach; ridiculous ideas; big leaps of faith; lives changed; and the Lord being incredibly faithful to this mission.

Thank you all for celebrating this milestone with us and supporting our ministry throughout the years!

And please drive carefully. Ablaze is watching.

Alright, who pressed the fast-forward button on summer?!?!

Seriously, what a joy it has been to journey with so many students at Ablaze this summer! Our teams have been playing hard and praying hard; from mini golf and Frisbee Fridays to praise and worship, discipleship, and mission trips to Louisiana and San Juan, Texas. We even spent a week growing together as a team during our Summer Formation Week!

We’re incredibly grateful for the benefactors, families, students, and volunteers who make summers like this possible.

Now we’re locked in and ready for a new school year of serving our communities in Waco, Bryan, and Boerne, and we can’t wait to see and share how the Lord moves!
