“Mentoring can be fun and crazy; it can be exhausting and frustrating. But I have seen how consistent presence in the life of a kid can make an eternal difference.” - YFC Ministry Leader

Join us in celebrating the kids who came to know Jesus Christ this past year through YFC USA. We know God wants to continue to reach kids through YFC here locally this year. We can’t wait to see what he will do!

This summer we saw God move in the lives of hundreds of kids. We consider it a privilege to play a small part in the stories he is writing for the kids in our ministries. #YFCUSA #YFC75th

“I didn’t feel safe at home, so I turned to the streets for affirmation...leading me to become an addict and a habitual juvenile offender.

But when I was sixteen, something happened that started a change in my life.”

Earlier this year we had our first-ever Executive Leadership Summit, where local #YFCUSA leaders gathered together from across the country. This was a huge step for Youth For Christ. It illustrated the fruit of our efforts toward movement-wide unity and interdependence. #YFC75th

“I had been praying before camp, ‘what’s my purpose at camp this summer, with YFC?’ I had been asking God to show me how he could use me. Now it was so clear to me this was why the Lord had brought me here.”

God has been on the move in the Youth For Christ movement in the 2010s! And it’s not over yet! We are still dreaming about ways to keep the momentum going that was started in the early 2010s. #YFCUSA #YFC75th

“During solo time, Amber sat in silence & pondered her relationship with God. As she prayed & sought the Lord, the Holy Spirit, the loving convincer he is, moved in her soul & Jesus became more real to Amber than ever before.“

Over the last 75 years many kids have decided to become lifelong followers of Jesus through the ministry of YFC.

We wonder how many of those relationships with Jesus began on trips just like this one in the 1980s?

“With crystal clarity the speaker pled with the students to let God lead their lives. There wasn’t a noise in the room.
That night during solo time, the camp was quiet. Still. Calm. Reverent.“

Abuse.

Lack of answers.

For YFC the early 2000s brought a lot of change that has been monumental for our movement to this day, not just locally, but nationally! #YFC75th #YFCUSA

Youth For Christ Magazine stated in one issue, “Ten thousand teenagers are expected to make decisions during Billy Graham’s days in Chicago, and Christians all across Chicagoland...” #YFC75th #YFCUSA

We exist to be in relational ministry with kids in tough places. Today the chaos seems louder for kids, but together we can create environments that silence the noise, even if it is just for a week at camp. #YFC75th #YFCUSA

I had never done camp, but my leader convinced me to come one summer.

It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. 11 years later, camp is still one of the fondest, most distinctive memories I have...”
