In a few days a handful (four to be exact) of Youth Arise alums will be making their way to a beach in Italy. Summer fling? Sort of. Much needed vacation? Maybe. Every year around this time, Military Community Youth Ministries, an ecumenical Christian outreach to teens on American military bases, sponsors "Beach Break." Yeah, they swim, get suntans, eat gilato, but the hundreds of teens gathered for this annual event also hear each day about the love of God in Jesus Christ.
Four Youth Arise alums (three of which are currently on short-term mission with MCYM), will be a part of the team that serves these military teens. Life as a military brat is challenging, and in this time of great uncertainty on the American Military front, this break is probably all the more needed. Both for the teens who are going, but also for the Outreach workers who serve them. Please keep all involved in your prayers. I know our Youth Arise alums, Josh Rodenbaugh '04 (pictured above), Madelene Bergez '05, Lulu Pulido '05, and AJ Kueneman '05, will appreciate it.
Praying for you,
Ryan

Thank you very much for all the prayers for this ministry! In two days the 3rd and final week of this Beach Break will begin. Last week's program was great and the gospel was presented in such a way that I was able to witness many kids rethink and commit to a relationship with Jesus. Let us pray that such conversions will happen next week with the highschool!
