Charlie Blanch, 22, was shot in the leg Sunday morning when a gunman started firing at the Youth With a Mission center in Arvada.
He is from Minnesota and first got involved in Youth With a Mission two years ago when he spent five months at a Discipleship Training School at the Arvada Center to "focus entirely on Jesus."
For 10 hours each week, he cooked, cleaned and helped maintain the grounds of the center in Denver.
The rest of the time he did classroom work as well as ministries and fellowships with nearby churches. He and the others also were given free time to "soak it all in," according to information from YWAM.
Blanch got some more missionary training in 2006, and became a staff member of YWAM in Arvada about a year ago.
