LifeDate Fall 2025 – Life … as We Age
Members of the Y4Life team joined approximately 20,000 youth at the LCMS Youth Gathering in New Orleans from July 19-23, 2025. Michelle Bauman was honored to serve alongside Rev. Dave McGinley as a Bible study leader for over 6,000 youth, daily reminding them of their value in Christ and encouraging them to endure in the faith. Other members of the Y4Life team, Cori, Diana, and Macy, interacted with youth in the exhibit hall at the Y4Life booth, where they had life-affirming conversations and offered youth an opportunity to take pictures at Y4Life’s photo booth. Rev. Michael Salemink was also able to join the team in the exhibit hall and speak at breakout sessions on behalf of Lutherans For Life.
