I have been involved with Youthfront for the past 15 years. My long history with Youthfront has led me to where I am now: Program Director for Youthfront Camp LaCygne. My job is to collaborate with the Youthfront staff, local youth pastors and other youth workers who help in creating content for our many programs at camp. During the summer months my job also includes training, managing, and discipling the college students on our summer camp program staff.

Like many non-profit ministries, the staff at Youthfront raises personal support for our salaries. We do this for many reasons. The reason that is most important to me is that we can keep the cost of camp lower to allow more kids the opportunity to come and be a part of camp.

The reality of working in a ministry like this is that I still have personal financial responsibilities, including student loans and other basic living expenses. Because of this, I am looking for monthly financial partners to be a part of my ministry within this larger ministry.

Please understand that I am not looking for financial donors to simply write a check and hope good comes from it. I’m looking for active partners to be in this community with me. My goal is to be in communication with you over social media, emails, phone calls, video calls, texts, as well as sharing meals, chats over coffee, visits to camp and other Youthfront events. My hope is to keep my partners regularly updated on what is happening in my ministry work, ways you can be praying for me and others, and opportunities where you can get more involved with Youthfront!

As you consider being one of my monthly partners, please pray as we continue to plan for our upcoming summer. With your encouragement and generosity, I, along with our amazing staff, can more fully commit to the work of creating intentional spaces for students of all ages to grow in their faith, identity, and relationships.
