  • Young Life
  • St Francisville, LA FULL_TIME
  • Description

    Young Life in West Feliciana Parish is looking for an area director, with Young Life experience, to join a dynamic, thriving local team that leads kids to Jesus, speaking the gospel in ways they can hear it. Our committee wants to do our best to create a clear path for your role to focus on ministry development with kids as much as possible. The area is strong financially and the area director will partner with an engaged and supportive local committee and committed volunteer leaders. Currently there is an active WyldLife ministry for the middle school and Young Life for the high school. The right candidate will have a heart for Jesus Christ, kids and an eagerness to jump in and join the local team to reach every kind of kid in West Feliciana parish.

    Our town (hopefully soon to be your town) is Louisiana's version of the quintessential small town - with many kind and caring people who love the Lord and support a healthy ministry. Amidst excellent outdoor opportunities to fit nearly every interest, it is as great of a place to raise kids and a family as exists - with a public school system that sometimes ranks first in the state but always in the top three each year. Most of our parish sends all their kids to the same school. It makes for incredible diversity and unity. We have much more work to do, and we hope to find someone who wants to serve alongside us.

Life insurance underwriters have long relied on motor vehicle records (MVRs) to provide valuable insight into the risks presented by proposed insureds.  Many predictive value studies have shown higher mortality rates associated with driving under the influence, reckless driving, suspensions, speeding, and distracted driving.  MVRs are a predictive data source that can indicate an individual’s all-cause mortality across a wide spectrum of ages and genders.
