“Several years ago, when I visited the Youthfront camp south of Kansas City to write a story for The Kansas City Star, it was clear to me that the organization had found a way to engage young people by using new and effective approaches. The campers were being given the time and space to encounter Christ in authentic ways that would transform them so that they, in turn, could help others come to faith and, together, repair part of our beautiful but broken world. Now that Youthfront is celebrating its 75th anniversary, I congratulate the organization for the many ways it has touched the lives of thousands of young people, from camping experiences to the youth entrepreneurship program to efforts to feed hungry people in Kansas City — and more. Don’t stop now. The world needs what you do and how you do it.”
