native Jeff Cole named new area director for Young Life of Fayette County

Young Life

of Fayette County has named Fayette County native Jeff Cole as the youth

organization's new area director following four years in a similar position

in Missoula, Mont.

Young Life

is a Christian ministry that reaches out to junior high and high school

aged kids through a relational approach. The organization goes where kids

are in order to build friendships with them and earn the right to make

a positive impact on their lives.

Cole, a 1985

graduate of McIntosh high School and 1991 graduate of the University of

Georgia, previously served as a volunteer and staff member of the organization

from 1992 - 1998. He will now be leading a team of staff and volunteers

in Fayette County who have a common goal of reaching out to kids and ministering

to their specific needs.

"We're

excited about having Jeff return to Young Life of Fayette County because

he's well respected and has a good rapport with teenagers in our community,"

said Ris Cowan, chairman of the Young Life of Fayette County Committee.

"Young Life here is part of a large, national youth ministry that

reaches across denominations and helps young people directly at their

level. We're funded locally through donations and use local volunteers

to help with youth activities."

For more than

60 years, Young Life has been providing strong, positive influences in

the lives of young people across the United States and other countries

around the world. Young Life provides healthy, creative fun from weekly

clubs, seasonal camping experiences and daily outings with leaders.

"Young

Life's main goal is to touch young people across the globe with the message

of Jesus Christ through the loving hard work of establishing close friendships

with adult leaders. I'm committed to making that our top priority in Fayette

County," said Cole of his new position.
