YFC Stories

These following 3 stories come from YFC staff working with teens through the ministry of YFC.

It was the last club meeting of the year. The room was so full there wasn't room for everyone. John wanted to talk with someone, but he was a few minutes late so he missed the meeting. he found the YFC staff member in the parking lot. "All year I have been coming to YFC. At first I came because of the pizza. Then I started to listen to what people were saying. Whenever someone would ask if there was anyone who wanted to place his faith in Christ, I would say to myself not today. But today was the last meeting and I was going to say yes, and I missed the meeting. I want to follow Christ." In the school parking lot John said yes to Jesus and became a Christ follower.

I went to church last night for the first time in many months. I didn't feel like I belonged there. It didn't feel like it was for me. I have got so distant from God it's unbelievable. Until I talked with Madison last night I didn't even think I needed Him. But everything she said to me made me realize He is the ONLY one that will accept me for who I am and loves me for who I am. And He is the only one I need.

There is a student who suffers from nightmares, struggles with cutting and can't get her parent's words out of her mind; "I wish you would have never been born. It's your fault we had to get a divorce." This young teenager is now on the road to a new life in Christ.

What a privilege it is to serve alongside other YFC staff from around the country who are part of God's mission to seek and save the lost.
