Thank you for loving those who are hard to love.

Thank you for sharing your life with teenagers.

Thank you for all of these things, and for all that you do, but most of all, thank you for entering into the hurt, brokenness, and despair within the walls of a high school.

Thank you for offering the love and grace of Jesus to kids who are desperately searching for something to believe in.

Thank you for what you do.

Thank you, Young Life leaders, that you pursued and pushed me to Jesus.

My life looks different because of Young Life leaders who entered in and showed me the love of Jesus.

And for that I say, thank you.
