Full Video Description:

In this special Get to Know You episode of Partners in Ministry, Dan Smith talks with Sarah Radcliffe, clerk for the Youth and Young Adults Ministries at Iowa Yearly Meeting of Friends.

Sarah shares how their ministry is discipling and equipping youth and young adults through relationships, summer camps, all-night events, leadership opportunities, and spaces where young people can experience the transforming work of Christ.

Much of this ministry takes place at Camp Quaker Heights, a peaceful place designed for connection, restoration, and spiritual growth. Sarah shares powerful stories of students taking off their masks, discovering their identity in Jesus, opening up about life’s struggles, and learning that Christ is the anchor they can hold onto.

This conversation also highlights the importance of Christian camp ministry, youth discipleship, testimony, mentorship, family restoration, and raising up the next generation of leaders in the church.

You will also hear how Iowa Yearly Meeting of Friends and the Quakerdale Foundation share a heart to serve as Christ serves and support families, youth, and communities through faith-filled ministry.

Please pray for Sarah and the Youth and Young Adults Ministries as they prepare for upcoming summer programming, recruit counselors, and continue pouring into the lives of young people.
