Mission & Vision of Young Life

The vision of Young Life​ is that every adolescent will have the opportunity to meet Jesus Christ and follow Him. Asian Young Life's role in this vision is to develop and use culturally sensitive ministry methods to impact the lives of Asian American teenagers and to, thus, broaden and diversify the kinds of teenagers that Young Life is able to reach. 

Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. We accomplish our mission by...

• Praying for young people.
• Going where teens are.
• Building personal relationships with them.
• Winning the right to be heard.
• Providing experiences that are fun, adventurous, and life-changing.
• Sharing our lives and the Good News of Jesus Christ with adolescents.
• Inviting them to personally respond to this Good News.
• Loving them regardless of their response.
• Nurturing teens so they might grow in their love for Christ and the knowledge of God's Word and become people who can share their faith with others.
• Helping young people develop the skills, assets, and attitudes to reach their full God-given potential.
• Encouraging teens to live connected to the Body of Christ by being an active member of a local church congregation.
• Working with a team of like-minded individuals — volunteer leaders, committee members, donors, and staff.

• Living according to and communicating the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  
• Carrying out our mission under the authority of Scripture and relying on the Holy Spirit to empower our ministry.
• Encouraging the welfare and spiritual health of those who do this ministry, that they may minister out of a consistent and growing relationship with Christ and His followers.
• Researching and developing innovative approaches to reaching uncommitted, disinterested kids around the world.
• Reaching adolescents of all social, cultural, economic and ethnic backgrounds throughout the world.
• Working with followers of Christ from a variety of traditions and local churches around the world.
• Welcoming all those whom God calls to our mission — men and women of all races, staff and volunteers — who are linked to a common purpose of introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ.
• Observing the highest standards of stewardship of all the resources placed in our trust.
