Lee Rogers works with Youth Alive as the Youth Alive Missionaries. Youth Alive started in 1979 in the Penndel District.
Youth Alive has 4 Strategies which are Campus Missionary, Campus Clubs, The Seven Project, and Prayer Force. For me one of the biggest strategies that stuck out to me was Campus Missionary and the Campus Clubs. I've been to Penndel Youth Convention every year since i was thirteen and it's the best thing in the world but i would always hear every year about being a campus missionary but never really understood it i guess. After Lee talked about this i did understand it a lot better!
Being a Campus Missionary is about challenging students to be intentional with their faith in their schools and in their lives! I grew up in public school and when Lee was talking about being a Campus Missionary i began to realize how important it being a campus missionary really is! If i would have been a campus missionary, just maybe i would be seeing some of my classmates in the ministry! It kind of makes me regret that i didn't live out my faith maybe as good as i could have. And that having the support of the Youth Alive behind me could have gotten a lot more going in my school. Campus clubs were so cool to hear about too! I know when i was in high school, one of the area youth ministers would come in on Wednesday morning to do a little Bible Study with the students who were there but none of them were really responsive to it and i think there could have been a huge difference if me and the other students would have taken more of a step than what was happening. There is so much that we could have done in our school and i think that we could have even gotten the seven project at my school!
This is really kind of setting a passion in me to some day go back to my high school and start something up again with students there who i don't know now and help to get them to a spot where they can live out their faith intentionally in front of their friends, in front of their teachers, and the staff!
