Preaching to Being -
Richfield Young Life
by Darby Voeks
Two-thousand years ago, the divine came to earth to be
with us and to be for us. Crowds flocked and followed
him just to hear his message – and that message was
something he made sure to deliver! He offered teachings
of hope and of radical incomprehensible love. But we
see in Luke chapter 9, as Jesus went from preaching to
feeding, that there came a point when he had to move
from talking about love to being about love.
As a youth ministry organization anchored in Richfield,
we have celebrated the ability to preach about the love of
Jesus to hundreds of students each week – and we will
continue to! However, COVID-19 forced our entire world to
stop and examine ourselves. It forced us to reconsider
what it really means to show Jesus to our city. Corona
called everything into question: What is the church
without a building? How do we love despite risk? How do
we preach about Jesus when we aren’t allowed to have
students seated in the audience? God used COVID to
shift us from preaching about his love to being about it.
Through our partnership with Richfield Public Schools,
we have been able to learn and practice how to best
Homeroom at Hope
“be love” to our community. During the pandemic, we
saw that over 55% of students were failing at least one
class. Through years of earning the right to be heard and
showing up in sun and the storms for our kid’s lives, our
leaders have built deep and lasting friendships.
Because of God’s grace and provision over these rela-
tionships, we have been able to host “Homeroom at
Hope” – a space for every student to come and do their
schoolwork with the emotional support and tutoring of
their Young Life leaders. Richfield Middle School adver-
tised this program to their mailing list of parents, and
we saw incredible success. Due to Young Life’s COVID
guidelines, Homeroom now continues at Richfield Public
Schools – supervised in partnership with Richfield
Young Life.
While COVID continues to challenge and refine us, it is a
gift to have a front-row seat at what God is doing in the
lives of kids. He uses our greatest anguish to bring us
from preaching his love to creatively finding new ways to
be that love for others.
