Young adults serve around the world

This year there are 93 Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) serving around the world on behalf of the ELCA–nine of whom call the congregations, camps, and campus ministries of the NC Synod home. That’s pretty impressive! Each of those nine young adults will write blogs and/or newsletters during the year about ministry happening in their various locations. Learn more about our young adults serving; subscribe to their blogs!
