Why are you a youth leader?

In a world where we can be heavily influenced by a lot of things. I chose to be a youth leader because I believe it is such a great opportunity to spend time with the youth and to be able to share with them who Jesus is and what the Gospel is all about. And I pray that through the times I spend with these kids, in some small way, I am able to help be a positive influence in their lives.
