Evan Smith Capernaum Scholarship

This scholarship will be made in honor of Evan Andrew Smith, who we lost on May 15th, 2018. 

A lot of Evan's life was spent caring for and loving on kids and adults with special needs. He was a mentor of several students with special needs in Belton and College Station, where he taught and ministered them. He was actively involved in Young Life in Belton as a student and then as a counselor while attending Texas A&M. He was a member of Young Life Capernaum, which focused on sharing the gospel with friends that have special needs. Evan narrates the video below, which explains what Young Life Capernaum and their camp is about.

Young Life Capernaum Is... 

This scholarship will send these friends to camp, where they will hear and see the gospel clearly. They will have a time away from the world and its distractions and be loved like they never have been before. It will be truly life changing. 

$1,050 of support sends a friend to camp fully funded for an entire week.
$700 of support covers the actual week of camp - dining, lodging, adventures.
$350 of support pays for their plane ticket to Colorado.
$100 of support provides one day at camp for one friend.



I’m raising funds on behalf of my deceased brother, Evan Smith. The funds will be put in an investment account. That account’s sole purpose will be to provide scholarships for kids to be sent to Young Life summer camp. The exact group is Brazos Valley Young Life. I will deposit the funds in Young Life Foundation, which handles the long term investment accounts for Young Life.
