The Sarah Saunders Family Fund -
This fund is due to the sudden death of Sarah's husband in March 2022. We want to help Sarah continue to work as a youth worker and continue her studies to become a trauma counsellor while she provides for her four children. Gifts can be labelled simply : SSaunders.
The Bravo Project -
This is a new project we are just starting to explore camping ministries for men and fathers. For years we have seen men attend as 'helpers' at Young Life Fish Camp and get just as much out of camp as the teenagers. So now we are asking, "What if we created camps specifically for men?" "What if we created an entire wellness programme to help men, especially fathers, connect together and used the same principles we have used with youth and used them with their adult fathers?" The Bravo Project will explore the possibility of organising cutting-edge adventure camps aimed directly at men who have not gone into the wilderness much before, and how to combine adventure and mental health into programmes that are both fun and helpful to men in our communities. Gifts can be labelled simply: Bravo.
