In late 2013 I was invited by a friend to attend the Young Life leadership Summit that coming January. I attended and heard amazing talks by distinguished experts in youth ministry and leadership that left me super inspired! I decided to volunteer with Young Life in 2014, and although I no longer serve with them, I still enjoy attending the Summit. This past weekend, Young Life of Greater New York held their first virtual Summit and it truly blessed me! One of the speakers was Father Greg Boyle who is the founder of an organization called Homeboy Industries, which is the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. His talk on Saturday was about the importance of going to the margins of society to connect with those who society casts aside. Not simply to make a difference, but so that those on the margins can make us different. I truly enjoyed not only his perspective, but his anecdotes of some of the success stories of his ministry. I hope you enjoy it also!
