BACK AND HEALTHY

Hey Paola Young Life! 

It feels great to be back!  In January I spent an amazing two weeks in New Staff Training for Young Life.  It was a great challenge to be gone from home for two weeks.  But it was incredible to be at Crooked Creek Ranch taking two seminary level classes focused on "Communicating Christ to Adolescents" and "Foundations of Youth Ministry".  These two weeks challenged me and caused me to think deeply about reaching kids.  When I returned home I was immediately plugged back into our community of kids who are searching for meaning, acceptance and life. 

Things are changing this season of Paola Young Life.  In the short term, we have a banquet tentatively set for April 11 where we will gather again, celebrate our first year of Young Life here in Paola, and look ahead into God's plans for 2010-11.  So exciting!

Also, some BIG news this month... our Leaders Andy and Sarah Wesner are having their first baby!!!  Keep them in your prayers as they bring "baby girl" into the world and as their lives make room for this new beauty!  

Connect with ya again soon! 
Ryan
