Young Life Tyler, Garrick Bailey

Garrick is the director for Young Life Tyler (YLT). YLT is an outreach specifically designed for high school and middle school students. Garrick and other volunteers spend time with students for the purpose of developing relationships. This gives them the opportunity to disciple them, and encourage them to follow the Lord. For some students, it gives them an open door to share the gospel.

What are you most excited to see God doing in your ministry?
I am excited to see God beginning to grow the ministry - not because of volunteer leader efforts, but because of the vision He's given high school kids to be a part of something bigger than themselves. We believe God is opening the doors to begin Wyldlife (middle school ministry) in the next 6 months!

How can we effectively pray for you?
As always...pray for resources. We need to pray people into Leadership teams, the adult committee (which we call Bommittee...a mix between board/committee), and into our donor base. We're also praying for the financial provision for an additional full-time staff member...and eventually a permanent home for offices & Club or at least a better Club location.
