Young Life Capernaum ministry begins in the USA
Young people want a place where they’re accepted, where they can have meaningful friendships, where they can experience fun, adventure and freedom. They also want to discover their purpose in the world. Young Life Capernaum leaders develop relationships with teenagers with disabilities where all are invited, celebrated and needed. Those who need assistance can and should participate fully in activities that build self-esteem and challenge their limits.
