A MESSAGE FROM NEWT 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 worldwide body of Christ and in all of this to be innovative in both strategy and method. Long-term pipelines of resources like the International 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.
