The Second Year Wrap Up

December 31, 2012

Happy Birthday to The Young Life Leader Blog. 

 

Two years
ago I decided to create a website to help YL leaders connect and share ideas. What started out as a lonely brainstorm has turned into an encouraging community. Thanks to the many of you who’ve sent in ideas and guest posts over the past two years. Keep ’em coming!

 

If you’re new to this online community of Young Life leaders, welcome! My name is Drew Hill and I’m a YL leader in Greensboro, NC. (About Me)

If there’s anything else you would like to see on this site or you have an idea/post you think other leaders could benefit from, you can contact me a few different ways:

You can also subscribe to get blog updates in your RSS feed (such as Google Reader), or follow on Twitter, and Facebook.
 

Below are links to some of the most read posts
categorized by: General, Club, Contact Work, Campaigners, Camp, Other. I hope they’ll be helpful to you as you continue to share Jesus with teenagers. -Drew
