I’m involved with the Waikoloa Villages YoungLife and Wildlife Committee with my friends Julie and Gary Simmons. Julie and Gary have headed up this group with many other Committee Volunteers and Leaders for many years making a huge difference in many youth and young adults for the rest of their lives. Younglife Hawaii Island holds a fund raising golf tournament every year and we invite you to participate on Friday, April 20, 2018 at the Waikoloa Beach Golf Resort Kings’ Course. The Sign in is at 6:30 a.m. – Shotgun start 7:30 a.m-2 Person Scramble format. $125 per person includes breakfast, green fees, cart, snacks, two mulligans, prizes and award lunch at finish. If you would like your proceeds to benefit the Waikoloa Village Young Life Kids please note this on your application.

From the YoungLife website:

Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don’t happen overnight — they take time, patience, trust and consistency.

So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids — where they are, as they are. We listen to their stories and learn what’s important to them because we genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks.

We believe in the power of presence. Kids’ lives are dramatically influenced when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their Young Life leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.

This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make today, based upon God’s love for them, will have an impact on future decisions — careers chosen, marriages formed and families raised — all ripples from the time when a Young Life leader took time to reach out and enter their world.
