Be A Part of Someone’s Story

Hello Ridge Point!

It was a joy to hear from a couple of our local initiatives about how God is at work in the lives of the people they serve. This past week we heard from Haley Slagh and her work with Young Lives. Young Lives is a ministry to young women who are pregnant or have young children and are still in high school. In her work with Young Lives, Haley mentors and shares her faith with these young moms. 

One of the ways Haley shared with us is how we can partner with the ministry by helping with supplies these ladies need for camp. Camp is a significant part of Young Lives ministry – it is an important spiritual moment in the lives of those who attend. Many times, it is the first chance they have to place their faith in Jesus. We can join in on this ministry by helping supply some of the Mom’s needs. While many have stepped up and already purchased some items, we still have a few remaining items so follow the link below and check out how you can be a part of someone else’s story of coming to Jesus.
