How can your church not only affirm the lives of your youth but also help them become engaged in affirming the lives of others? This For Life Live presentation, with Y4Life Director Michelle Bauman, will discuss the realities youth face, the gifts they bring to the table, and practical and purposeful ways your Life Team or congregation can engage youth and promote 4 Life partnerships with them.
