Equipping Youth to Witness for Life โ€” Y4Life

Lutherans for Life

$25,000

View mission grant resources below.

Y4Life seeks to equip young people to be the voices for life in a culture that glorifies the choice of death. The need is especially true for teens, college students, and young adults who are bombarded with secular life styles that are contrary to Godโ€™s wonderful plan for life. Currently, the Y4Life program is serving college campuses. The mission grant funds will go directly towards expanding the initiative to include Lutheran high school campuses. By training student leaders and providing ongoing mentorship and support for the individual campus ministries, they can raise their voices for life.

WHEREAS, Y4Life seeks to equip young people to speak for life and serve their community through student-led life ministries on high school and college campuses; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the delegates gathered at the 2017 Lutheran Womenโ€™s Missionary League Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, vote the sum of $25,000 to help fund Equipping Youth to Witness for Life โ€” Y4Life.
