[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a couple of my companies, I've worked with a number of young adults (20's) who were involved in Young Life as teens.  They are some of the nicest, most well-adjusted, kind, positive, giving people I know.  Just good people.  
 My kids are still young, but I will encourage them to check it out when they are teens.  I'm in the Midwest fwiw.[/quote]

OP again - thank you, this is reassuring. I've lived in the Midwest and my current area in PA reminds me of my time out there. Lots of farms, slower pace of life, people hunt and fish. Big change from the DMV where we lived for several years and the NYC burbs where I grew up.

For the PP who is a YL leader in Frederick, thank you for chiming in; we are in southeastern PA and I was able to find the leader info. Question for you - when you have kids who are already Christians and learned about Jesus in their own churches, what is the goal for them in part of the group?  [/quote]

I'm not that PP, but I was involved in YL all through high school, and was already a Christian, as were many of my friends.  But it was the kind of Christianity that we just took for granted, having grown up with it.  In YL, I was able to really explore Christianity and see how Jesus works in our lives.  It's basically a great way to hang out with other like-minded kids - those who aren't particularly interested in partying, etc.  I *never* experienced anyone asking me to "accept Jesus," though I definitely feel I grew stronger in my faith simply by attending YL.  I found it to be a happy, welcoming, fun, and wholesome experience.  [/quote]
