On Saturday seven students and adults from our Capernaum Club helped build beds for kids who sleep on the floor with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - MD, Hagerstown.

What a great opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Jesus in two ways... carpentry☺️... and sharing the love and goodness of God with children! A win-win combination!

“Everyone has a right to know the truth about Jesus Christ. They have a right to know who He is. They have a right to know what He’s done. They have a right to know how they relate to that. They have a right to know Him personally. Furthermore, they have a right to make their own choice of Him. That’s not just what Young Life’s all about; that’s all that Young Life’s all about – Jesus Christ.”

Jim Rayburn, Founder of Young Life

WyldLife Leaders go to where middle schoolers are—schools, games, and activities—to build trust and relationships. They create high-energy, safe, and fun club environments featuring games, music, and a 8-10 minute, simple message. WyldLife Leaders also take kids to camp for "the best week ever," specifically designed for middle schoolers. They are often teachers, coaches, or parents, providing stability and maturity. All leaders are vetted and trained to understand the specific developmental needs of middle school students. If you think you, or someone you know, would make a great WyldLife Leader, please contact Brad Distad to find out more!
