KELLY GAGE
I was introduced to the Young Life ministry in my freshman year of college at GCU and immediately fell in love with it. From the first time I attended a Young Life College club, I knew I wanted to get involved in the ministry in any and every way. I began leader training and was placed as a WyldLife leader for one of the local middle schools. One of the things I love most about the ministry of Young Life is that we are constantly reminded as leaders to long for the furthest heart. My personal ministry and my relationship with the Lord have been shaped so greatly through leading Young Life. I am excited to continue to grow with Northern Weld County Young Life and the new team of leaders we are building.
I want Frontier WyldLife to be a space for middle schoolers to come and be kids. In today's culture, it seems that kids have to grow up much quicker than they were designed to, but I want students to experience the abundance of life that Jesus has to offer through friendship and connection with each other and with leaders. I want kids to enter into a space where they feel safe, known, and loved by adults who keep showing up and that through those relationships, they get to experience the love of Jesus Christ.
In providing a space for students to simply show up and just be themselves, our prayer is that kids are able to find a sense of:
My Goals:
Contact Work — Kids don't care how much we know until they know how much we care! Young Life leaders show they care by going where kids are, meeting them as they are, and believing in who they can be. Within Young Life, we call the persistent going out into the world of kids "contact work." But kids just call it friendship.
Club — A "party with a purpose." WyldLife Club is controlled chaos and a space for kids to come and find a place to belong, to be safe, and to hear about the life-changing Gospel from a leader who has continually shown up in their lives.
Camp — The best week of their lives! A week filled with so much fun in the midst of hearing about the most extraordinary love story. Kids get to spend a week away from phones and distractions and are given the opportunity to focus on connecting with others, something that is lacking in today's culture as kids become more "plugged in" and yet are becoming more and more isolated.
Campaigners — Campaigners is a weekly gathering for the kids who want to know more about Jesus and grow in their faith. We're with kids for the long haul to help them take the first steps of faith with unconditional love and we want them to do that with leaders and peers who will continue to walk with them and help them grow in every aspect of their life.
