Young Life Middle East/ North Africa
The story of Young Life in the Middle East/ North Africa began ten years ago when a young Palestinian believer first caught a vision for sharing the Gospel with teenagers in the West Bank. Today, ten years after that first club, Young Life is spread throughout the Holy Land in over ten communities, reaching and impacting teens from all three major cultural religious backgrounds. Ten indigenous staff and over seventy volunteers from Palestine, Israel and Morocco lead high school clubs, WyldlLife clubs for middle school youth, a YL College club and several YL Capernaum ministries for special needs teens and young adults.

We believe that in order to reach kids we must go where they go and enter their world. Every week in our local area, Young Life staff and volunteers can be found at school events and practices and at kids' favorite hangouts. In many cases, they are the only adult friends kids have in their lives. Our work could not be done without your support. We are grateful for your gift to Young Life. Thank you for all you do to help us reach generations of kids who desperately need to hear a message of hope.

Your support is crucial to Young Life at the local area and regional levels. Because Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level, donors’ financial gifts account for all of an area's budget and part of a region's budget. Your donation helps areas hire and train staff and provide essential administrative support to the area. Your contributions also support operating expenses such as salaries and other ministry costs and can help send kids to Young Life camps. This ministry wouldn't exist without you, your support is changing the world!
