YOUNG LIFE BEGAN IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

Young Life originally began in the U.S. in 1941 when founder, Jim Rayburn made it his mission to share the gospel with the furthest out kid. This concept moved to the Philippines where Young Life was officially started in 1970. Now, we are reaching young people all over the Asia Pacific Division.
