Harvest Hoedown Fundraiser Recap + Help Us Keep Going!

We had such a wonderful time at our first Harvest Hoedown Fundraiser! We’re so grateful for everyone who came out to celebrate what the Lord is doing through Central Illinois Young Life.

Here’s a glimpse of the impact:
-550 kids known and prayed for by name
-16 Campaigners groups helping kids grow in faith
-250 kids at camp this summer
-70 volunteer leaders showing up in kids’ lives

We’re dreaming of reaching even more kids through new WyldLife clubs, expanding Capernaum, and equipping more leaders to walk alongside kids and point them toward Jesus. ❤️

We still have $20,000 to raise to reach our goal! Whether you attended the Hoedown or not, you’re part of this ministry and the stories God is writing.

Would you prayerfully consider giving to help us keep going? Every gift makes a difference!

Thank you for believing in kids and helping them know they are seen, known, and loved!
