“They stuck with me, even after graduation.”

Denise’s Story in her own voice – “sticking with her” through MS & HS

When I was in 6th grade, I started attending Campus Life.  I was very shy, but the adults made me feel welcome, and part of the group.  We would break out into junior high girls’ small groups for discussions about the message that was shared that night

I attended every Wednesday for most of middle school with my friends. I also attended the YFC group outings like the baseball games, Sports All Nighter, Christian music concert and camping trips. I also loved the special outings with me and my friends where our leader Jen took us to get our nails done or out to lunch.

I accepted Christ at the YFC Christian concert event in 2017.

Then in my sophomore year, we moved to a different school district.  I still wanted to be part of this group though.   I’m so thankful that the YFC leaders would still come pick me up on Wednesdays, and for all the YFC events.

Then, in my senior year, my mom died and didn’t see me graduate.  But my Campus Life leaders were still there for me even after I graduated.  Nanci even helped me open my first bank account, enrolled me in drivers ed, and helped me get my driver’s license after I graduated.  I now have a job and a car. I don’t know where I’d be if they hadn’t shown me the love of Jesus through all the ups and downs of life. Thank you YFC.
