Since 2019, Pure and Simple Truth for Youth, Inc. has been blessed to present 72 Truth for Youth Retreats to over 2,925 students and has had over 200 high schoolers and college-age young adults be a part of the Retreat Team or SPICE Nights over those years. We were also able to create the Becoming YOU: Discovering Your Whole Person Identity video series for schools and youth groups.
While my own leadership involvement has been over the past eight years, this mission has been serving young people since 1997, and it has been a privilege to carry that forward.
After much prayer and careful discernment, I have felt God calling me to conclude my time of leading the organization. Serving this mission and working with the many young people we have encountered has been a profound joy, and I am deeply grateful for both the opportunity and your continued support.
After careful consideration, since we did not secure a sustainable plan for leadership of the organization, our Board has made the decision to dissolve the organization. This was not an easy decision, but it reflects the current capacity and sustainability of our work.
Please know how deeply grateful we are for the financial and personal support you provided. You made it possible for us to reach and positively influence many young people, and that impact will continue to bear fruit.
Please note that the website will turn off August 1, 2026.
We are excited to share the good news that we have made our Becoming YOU: Discovering Your Whole Person Identity video series accessible free of charge for all viewers! It is our hope that this resource will continue to serve young people and extend the mission in a new way.
All episodes will remain viewable on YouTube here. Links to the Discussion and Activity guides for each episode can also be accessed with each episode on the website or in each YouTube video description.
Thank you for all your support and encouragement!
