Help us keep up the momentum and reach our goal!
Young Life Blackstone Valley started this January, and we are off to a great start! Thank you to everyone who has given so far, but we have a ways to go.
1️⃣ Josh finished writing Young Life GO, a leader development program focusing on spiritual growth and the basics of Young Life
2️⃣ We have our first two Volunteer Leaders
3️⃣ We have our first two Committee Members
4️⃣ We are making great connections at Nipmuc High School
5️⃣ Our first Developing Ministry is Capernaum of Blackstone Valley - Our ministry with friends who have disabilities
Here are some exciting grow areas as we look to 2026:
🌱 Starting YL Campaigners (a weekly Bible study for students) in the Blackstone Valley
🌱 Starting a monthly Capernaum Club
🌱 Weekend and Weeklong camp trips
🌱 Fostering connections with churches and schools in Hopedale, Northbridge, Uxbridge, and Whitinsville
Our hope and prayer is that Josh will be able to advance from part-time Mission Staff to full-time Area Director. This will enable faithful and sustainable Ministry in the Blackstone Valley, but we need your help. For Giving Tuesday, we are asking for more partners to help us complete our goal for recurring gifts. Our ministry is 100% funded by the generosity of local individuals, families, and churches.
To fully fund the work of reaching kids in the Valley, we have a total annual budget goal of $97,000/year.
🏁 Our goal for recurring gifts is $50,000/year.
🙌 Currently, we have committed $20,175/year
🏦 We need more partners to cover the remaining $29,825/year
Could you join the monthly support team at $50, $100, $200, or $500/month?
We have a Matching Grant for the first $3,000 raised.
Giving is easy, confidential, and 100% tax-deductible:
