A Teacher's Perspective

 

Dear Friends of Youth Life,

 

On the wall of the Delmont Learning Center is one of my favorite Bible verses. Psalm 119:32 says, “I run in the path of Your commands, for You have set my heart free.” Over my 4 years with Youth Life, that verse has become my prayer for our kids. If you have spent any time with the children in Delmont (or with children anywhere) then you know that they are full of energy! So I imagine them running toward the loving God who created them with the whole-hearted abandon that comes so naturally to kids, but can only be sustained by Him. It is my joy to run alongside them, as they learn what that means.

 

Thank you for continuing to "run" with us!

KeondreOutstanding Student!

 

Keondre, a student at the Highland Park center, spent a week this summer attending the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. After being selected by his school to attend, he personally raised $2,000 in less than two weeks to cover the cost of the conference.

 

Keondre’s week was filled with a visit to Capitol Hill, a trip to Harpers Ferry, and tours of numerous monuments and museums. He interacted and made friends with kids from around the country. One highlight from his trip was a visit to the Maryland Science Center. After a full day of exploring, he got to sleep over inside of the center, which he thought was really cool. Keondre said, “it was an eye opening experience, one that I will never forget.” A big thanks to everyone who helped make this a reality for Keondre.
