YoungLives

YoungLives is an AMAZING ministry that Chris and I have had the privilege to be a part of for the past 5 years. YoungLives works with teen moms and during the past month I was given two different opportunities to help just a little.

First as part of our women's bible study at Mission Community Church we threw a Justice Baby Shower. During a time of fellowship, food and testimony we were able to provide East Valley YoungLives with 12- completely filled diaper bags. These bags will be presented to teen moms upon the birth of their baby.

Here are some pictures from that event.

Just this past weekend I attended the East Valley YoungLives Tea and Silent Auction. I LOVE this event. I use to help plan it... and hope to get to do that again next year! This is such a fun afternoon out with the girls. It was hosted at the Seville Golf and Country Club in Gilbert AZ. A beautiful clubhouse where we ate yummy "tea food", bid at a silent auction, enjoyed a fashion show, and cried through some amazing testimonies.

What a beautiful way to learn more about what God is doing in the lives of teen moms here in the east valley, and also a fun way to send girls to camp!

East Valley Young Lives Tea & Silent Auction

Here are a set of dish towels and an apron I made for the East Valley Young Lives Ladies Tea and Silent Auction.  Young Lives is an amazing organization that works with pregnant teens and teen moms.  Women walk along side these girls showing them God's love and mentoring them.  The ladies tea is a fundraising event that sends teen moms to camp during the summer, where they can be teens, have wonderful volunteers love on their babies, be served by others, and learn about Christ's love for them.  If you would like to learn more about Young Lives visit www.younglife.org/YoungLives.  Or email me at sewlexi@gmail.com for more information on how you can get involved in Young Lives.
