Young Life Latin American & Caribbean Pico Escondido Offering Book

Pico Escondido Capital Campaign - $2.42MM

LETTER FROM THE SVP Right now, teenagers throughout Latin America and the Caribbean are hungry for change.

They’ve seen their neighborhoods, cities, and entire countries ravaged by protests, corruption, war, and fragile economies. But they are not without hope. They are not giving up on their dreams. Like your children and mine, they have grown up wanting to make a difference, to become doctors and lawyers, teachers, and engineers. They want to change the world and I am wholeheartedly convinced that they will do just that.

Dan Jessup Senior Vice President, Young Life Latin America/Caribbean

In Young Life, we believe that relationships have the power to change everything – one life, one barrio, one country, one continent. Today, Young Life leaders throughout Latin America and the Caribbean are walking alongside kids and encouraging them to keep dreaming. Our belief and our resolve have never been stronger! Thank you for believing in us and with us. Thank you for sharing in our passion to see every kid in every barrio have a life-changing encounter with Jesus.

“Never before have I experienced something like a week at camp. This changes everything!”

“Camp gives kids an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel without distractions. There is nothing else like it.”
