We first met Chase at Campus Life as a middle school student. When he entered high school his non-churched family life was being destroyed by alcohol, and he started to feel hopeless. Chase began escaping to other things to mask the pain in his life. As a freshman he was expelled from his high school and started a downward cycle.
His senior year he reconnected with YFC leaders and began seeking God to fill the hole inside of him. He joined us at Camp and asked God for forgiveness and rededicated his life. After camp, this was his post to all his friends on social media, sharing what God has done. “Thank you YFC for the amazing trip and always giving broken people like me a chance to meet Jesus. This trip has had a crazy impact on my life that words can’t explain. Thank you for helping people like me by welcoming people from all walks of life and working on bringing them to the Lord. As Psalm 34:18 says, ‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in Spirit…’, and that’s exactly what I experienced at Camp!”
