YLM’s mission statement is “Changing Lives Everyday Through Simple Acts of Kindness”. Located in El Paso, Texas, with ministry also across the U.S. / Mexico border in Juarez, YLM is a Recognized Service Organization of the LCMS Church. Since 1982, YLM has been providing ministry and human care services to thousands of people in this community every year. As Family of Christ’s Far Mission, our projects have included building homes for families in Juarez; providing human care services such as helping with YLM’s weekly food shelf distribution, Christmas toy distributions, and school backpack distributions; hosting VBS programs in Juarez and El Paso; and providing major and minor repairs to facilities on the YLM campus in El Paso.
