Young Adult Resource Persons

How it all began:

YARPs have always been a part of my church experience. I guess I first really met and dealt with them when I helped plan the Junior High Gathering (’97). Kristine Walsh is the one I remember from that group. I also attended Lutheran Camp Chrysalis at a young age and remember couselors from that time.

Mission Statement:

Matthew 5:16 -"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

What it means to me:

-Time to forget all about school and anything else and just have a great time letting the kid in me out. I love hanging out with the youth and like the opportunity to see some of the campers from the summer. I love that look in their eyes when I say I remember them!

- Its also time to be with other college age peers who have the same morals and beliefs as me.

Where has it led me?:

-I help out with the web page: yarps.org

-I now claim 29 wonderful prayer partners and friends.

-I am learning responsibilities and wonderful speaking skills.

-Preparing for bible studies and devotions is my favorite thing. I usually learn more from my youth than I would have got out of a passage if I studied it for a week.

-I’m growing in my faith!
