I need your help!

As some of you may know, I have taken a job with Young Life. I am very excited about this opportunity and feel like God has been working to bring me here for a while now... that this is his perfect timing, and I eagerly wait to see what he has in store for both me and my family, and the community of Ladera Ranch (where I will be starting the middle school ministry).

But I really need your help.

As a Young Life staff person, I have to raise my own support. What that means is this, if people don't support us through donating their money, I don't get paid.

The very real truth is that I am not asking you to pay my salary, I am asking you to invest in what God seems to want to do in Ladera Ranch, CA. It seems clear that he is wanting to move and bring people closer to himself, and wants to do so through Young Life, and while I am asking you to support me, this wont be happening if I am not able to raise the support needed to allow me to go on full-time staff. 

These are the specifics:

I need to raise $22,500 by November 26 in order to go on part-time for the month of December (I have already put in my two-weeks notice at my current job). 

Then I need to raise $45,000 by December 27 in order to go on full-time staff by Jan 1.

I have raised $16,450 so far in either one-time gifts, or commitments to monthly donations. If you have already given THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! 

All gifts to Young Life are tax deductible, and if you register on the website here you will automatically receive your receipt. 

Under "A Young Life Staff Member's Ministry" search for my last name, Bright.

Select me from the list that pops up, and then finish the donation as instructed.

So, I am asking you to think, and pray about giving either a one time donation, or committing to give on a monthly basis. 

If you have already been thinking/praying about doing this, then please sign up and give your gift by November 26.

It is hard for me to write this post, to be so forward in asking you all for money, but I believe, truly believe, that God has called me into this. I have no doubt that he will provide.

If you make a donation, or if you have more questions, or even if you would just like to talk to me about this, please email me at:

Thank you for reading this, and I pray you seriously consider investing in both the Kingdom of God, and kid's lives through Young Life.

Peace.
