The Campership Legacy Fund
Reaching thousands, one at a time
“If a man owns a hundred sheep and leave the 99 and go to look for the
one wanders away, will he not one that wandered away?” — JESUS CHRIST M AT T H E W 1 8 : 1 2
Our Plan Young Life is working to expand our reach from 2 million kids annually to the next million and beyond.
“Sensing the leading of the Holy Spirit,Young Life has embarked on a multi-year effort known as FORWARD that is designed to expand our global reach, help kids go deeper with Jesus, build diverse teams that reflect the world-wide body of Christ and in all of this to be innovative in both strategy and method. Longterm pipelines of resources like the Campership Legacy Fund are critically important to ensuring that Young Life is able to continue these core efforts for generations to come. Susan and I are both excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of kids for many years after we have been called home to live in eternity with Jesus! We hope you will join us in this effort.” — Newton “Newt” Crenshaw
“Go into all the world and preach the MARK 16:15 good news … .”
The Problem The enemy is winning the battle for their attention. They are surrounded by the “whitenoise� and the chaos of life.
“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear … .” M AT T H E W 1 3 : 1 3
God’s Provision The solution to the problem is Jesus. Young Life camp provides the opportunity for kids to STOP and consider the truth about Jesus. It’s more important today than ever.
“Be still and know that I am God.”
PSALM 46:10
