Our family has been volunteering with YoungLives for two years. We had the opportunity to attend the first annual fund-raising banquet last weekend.

Hi, my name is Kylie Bradley I am 20 years old and live in Huntington Beach. I had the amazing opportunity to be a leader at this years YoungLives camp!

So I don’t really know where to start or how to start telling you about my experience going to YoungLives Lost Canyon camp. But here goes nothing… It started two years ago. Myrna would constantly ask me, “Are you going to camp this year?”. I would say, “Yeah definitely. I’ll be there.” But every time something…
