40 Years — and 40 More
Young Life Capernaum
Growing Together
For forty years, the Lord has moved powerfully through Young Life Capernaum.
What began as a small ministry serving a handful of adolescents with disabilities has grown into a global movement. Today, more than 160 staff and 2,000 volunteers are introducing 35,000 adolescents and young adults with disabilities to Jesus each year across 39 countries.
Behind every number is a name.
A teenager discovering belonging.
A family finding hope.
A leader emerging who will shape the future.
We believe the Lord desires this mission to flourish for decades to come — so that every adolescent and young adult with a disability can be introduced to Jesus and helped to grow in their faith.
If you sense the Lord inviting you to participate in this work, we would be honored by your partnership.
Below are several ways you can support Young Life Capernaum.
