9 Praz de Lys has been our ministry tool for camp for over 30 years. Thousands of kids have gone there and were able to draw closer to God. Hundreds of them are now ministers in France and in the world. The place needs investment and renovating as it is. Investing in this camp will contribute to help the ministry grow exponentially! Marie Aline Noireaux Jouët Area Director, Villeurbanne France I believe that this property offers us unique opportunities. Besides being a fantastic place to go skiing, it is a beautiful setting that could be used for any number of Young Life events, staff retreats, campaigner weekends, ski camps, holiday local for staff and families, and more. I love it! Please, please invest the time and money to make this a quality Young Life Camp. I can see Young Life Areas from all across Europe using it for Ski Camps, Retreats, and other events. Michael Hunter Area Director, Herts United Kingdom

10 When Sergio and I started Jeunesse et Vie Young Life in Belgium in 1984, we started taking small groups of kids to join with the French camps at the Praz de Lys. It's beautifully located, right on the slopes and has a warm, cozy feeling to it. Belgian kids have a whole week off school in February and the ski camp is the favorite one of the year. It's also easy to invite non Christian friends to and every year we see God at work in wonderful ways in the lives of teen agers and leaders. We are definitely and anxiously waiting for the renovations to be done. We love the Praz de Lys and hope to take kids and adults there for many more years." Roselie Murru Area Director, Marchienne Au Pont, Belgium There are 50 plus years of the Gospel "spoken" on this soil in a country where it is unlawful to evangelize. Where else will they hear when most French never holiday outside of France's borders. The site is strategically placed surrounded by a committed team of nationals. Kathy Usrey Area Director, Paris France
