FROM THE AREA DIRECTOR
I truly believe that the minis-
try of Young Life is like no
other ministry out there. In-
stead of an events-based min-
istry, our volunteer leaders go
out and meet adolescents
where they are (and more im-
portantly, AS they are) to seek
authentic relationships that
allow us to "earn the right to be heard." Though
many people think of Young Life as Club, Camp, or
Campaigners, our most important work comes in
the countless hours we spend in bleachers, thea-
ters, lunchrooms, and frozen yogurt shops just
hanging out with kids. Leaders walk alongside stu-
dents through the triumphs and tragedies of life
during a period when many begin to truly examine
their faith for the first time. Through the relation-
ships that are built, we have the awesome privi-
lege of not only talking about Gods unconditional
love for each and every one of us but demonstrat-
ing it as well.
As we start a new school year I get to have
a front row seat to see what God is doing in our
community and in the hearts of our kids. Were ex-
cited to see some of them meet Christ for the first
time and others come into a deeper relationship
with Him. God has already blessed us with an in-
credible leadership team and a Committee of
adults who support us so well. Im excited to see
what He does this year and can't wait to share it
with you!

In Him,

Heather Troxell
Area Director

Camp Update from Sam Griffith, Aptos Young Life
Camp was mind blowing! The games, new friends, late night
swim parties, surprise carnivals, a Western Ho-down, 400 kids
singing "Free Falling", 50 foot giant swing, ropes course, and
ridge-runners could only be surpassed by the sweet news of
Christ's boundless love for us!
This experience at camp was unlike any other. I brought four
girls from Aptos. Three out of the four girls are adopted. What a
special thing to share with these girls that they are pursued/
chosen/wanted/loved and adopted by the Creator of the Uni-
verse. The week certainly presented its challenges -- how to meet each kid where they were at,
emotionally and spiritually. However the way Christ was presented was so well done, with
love, full of scripture and followed up with great discussions! We shared a cabin with the San
Lorenzo Valley/Scotts Valley girls and we had several girls make first time commitments (one
from Aptos!) and a few others make renewed commitments. How exciting to see these lives
changed for eternity! Let that sink in for a moment... eternity!
Table Hosts and Spon-
sors are needed for our
