Hello Barnabas,
I am writing with some really exciting updates! Since our participation in The Barnabas Group shark tank experience, not only has Young Life Impacting Hearts replicated into other cities, but a new division of Young Life has been born!
Young Life One is the newest ministry within Young Life, focusing on foster, homeless, trafficked and incarcerated youth. We are currently training about 30 Young Life directors in 30 different cities across the United States. These directors are being equipped to start ministry to marginalized youth in their area, from Alaska to Florida to Michigan and more!
We have Barnabas Group members on our committee, volunteering with the youth, directly mentoring me, and participating in other ways. It is so amazing to look back at all that God has done through The Barnabas Group over the last 6 years! We started with a S.W.O.T., then presented at a quarterly meeting, and then did shark tank. We are so grateful for all the ways Barnabas and the members have partnered.
Thank you!
