Lilit and Arman Asatryan Young Life Armenia
Lilit and Arman Asatryan are a well-educated couple who have been committed to Young Life ministry for over 10 years. Lilit had studied to be a journalist but abandoned that dream after doing a report on the street kids of Armenia and realizing how desperately they needed someone to provide them with a place to go for mentoring, Bible study, love and support. She and Arman decided to commit their lives to all the kids in their city, from the darkest street corners to the most remote orphanages and schools in villages you can barely reach by car. Their work has expanded throughout Armenia and they work full-time, 7-days a week to bring the love of Jesus to the many kids of Armenia in need. Lilit and Arman's flat is always full of kids. They support many street kids and those in need of a place to have Bible study or ask questions, or just have a meal and place to sleep.
They hold trainings for leaders all over Armenia and recently have been able to rent a building to house the hundreds of kids who come to spend time with them and the many young volunteers and leaders they have trained. They face daily obstacles; one of the more daunting difficulties includes their struggle to fund their ministry in one of the poorest countries in the world. Arman and Lilit are essential to the development of Young Life in Armenia and we are blessed to have their commitment to Young Life.
they have cute kids!
