Hope. That is what we want to communicate to every teen in the Capital Region. Hope that comes through having a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
I am blessed to serve with staff and volunteers who consistently bring Hope to teenagers. Whether on our Ropes Course or at a PaintBall Retreat or in East Dorset, VT at the Campus Life club to our plans in reaching teen moms and dads in Troy.
We have an incredible opportunity to provide an anti-bullying program called Point Break to high school students from Schenectady High School. We could have close to 200 teens go through this one day assembly on May 1 and 11. This will open the doors for us to connect in real ways with these teens and the school leaders.
Our Juvenile Justice Ministry is about to begin at Vanderheyden Hall in Troy after many months of preparation.
Reaching out to teens in all types of situations with the Good News throughout our area. I am so thankful to be part of this ministry.
Back in March I was invited to be part of the YFCamps summer planning and training retreat. Four of us from the Northeast joined about 20 other YFC staff who lead week long camps for middle school and high school students during the summer. I left feeling very proud to be part of this larger YFC team. God has brought a great group of young leaders into the movement of YFC in the US. As the oldest staff person in the room (that was the first time for me, believe it or not) I was humbled by how much I still can learn from those a little younger than me. I was told it was humbling for them to see staff my age still willing to learn and grow in ministry.
Please continue to pray for the ministry of YFC here in the Greater Capital District and throughout the world. God is using us to bring HOPE. Praise God for ever and ever.
