Prosper Young Life & Wyldlife

Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with adults concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't happen overnight - they take time, patience, trust and consistency.

So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids in our community - where they are, as they are. We faithfully spend time with kids, listen to their stories and learn what's important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks. We believe in the power of presence. Kids' lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God's love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.

This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God's love for them, will impact future decisions … careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised. All ripples from the time when a Young Life leader reached out and entered their world.

Our Needs

Prosper Young Life is currently raising our yearly operating budget of about $112,000. This budget allows for ministry to happen in our town with middle school and high school friends, and will support one full-time staff Area Director, a part-time WyldLife director and part-time administrator.
