Young Life Capernaum Affirming Value
THE NEED:
Kid issues include poverty, corruption, hunger, and lack of resources in natural disasters. Young people are caught in the middle of this crisis. They are looking for role models and seeking answers to their suffering and needs. Many turn to gangs or prostitution for survival.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Young Life has a one-of-a-kind opportunity to disciple and train young people with disabilities. Capernaum is about creating spaces where teens can meet Jesus and grow in their faith. 96% of families say having their teen participate in Capernaum provides them with a sense of hope and encouragement and 95% of students say they experience a sense of belonging.
Through the Capernaum Leadership Experience young adults who have participated in this ministry, gather with their peers and dedicated coaches to learn how to serve in their communities including church, YL and their workplace. Your investment today will provide one young adult their training materials, 16 group cohort sessions and individual coaching for the year. When a high school student with a disability sees a young adult like them lead and excel in ministry and being accepted in a community, they experience the same hope for their future. Our Capernaum students are hungry to serve, give, & lead and we have the opportunity to offer them the experience to help them succeed.
THE PLAN:
To provide for one young adult to participate in the Capernaum Leadership Experience for one year, covering their training materials, 16 group cohort sessions and individual coaching.
Expected Outcomes:
One young adult trained, equipped and empowered to lead and serve more effectively
Modeling and positive influence this has on others with similar challenges
Increasing the Kingdom of God to become more inclusive and reflective of our value beyond regardless of our ability
