Billy Jack Blankenship, John Byard
Billy Jack has been on YL staff since 2017, after two decades of ministry as a Camp Director (Forest Home Ministries) and on staff at a local church in San Diego. His favorite parts of the YL College job are leader development, shepherding students, and teaching/talking about the good news of the Kingdom of God. He is also a super picky eater and is supremely confident in that.
