What is YFC

YFC stands for Youth For Christ. It is a simple, yet very effective title. It`s short, but sweet, and to the point.

YFC is a family ministry of the Couples For Christ (CFC). It is a means of renewing young adults and of providing a venue where they can respond to God`s call to holiness. YFC is open for membership to all youth from 12 years of age to those in their early 20`s.


Philosophy

We in Youth For Christ believe...

That God is calling everyone to a personal relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

That this call is not exclusive but shared with all sectors of society, regardless of age, colour, nationality, status, and beliefs in life.

That the youth have a very special place in God`s heart, and that they in return have a very deep sense of love for God, and that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is something they desire.

That the youth have a vibrant, energetic, dynamic, and free-spirit nature. Rather than denying this nature and force the youth into a mold that stisfies our own perception of Christianity and holiness, we accept this nature, not curtailing it, but re-channeling, Into an acitve expression and submission and participation to the plan of God.

That the youth realize the need to make decisions in life; but they should also know that as they do, God should always be an inseperable part of these decisions; Knowing also that they are future leaders of the families and societies, we realize that this future depends on how they are molded today as God`s children.

That the youth grow not only from what they recieve, but more through what they are able to share with others.

That youth are responsible as long as they are given the appropriate amount of guidance.

Campus Based

YFC Campus is “CFC Youth for Christ’s” official evangelization program based within College or University level campuses. It caters to students in their tertiary level of education – those through with “high-school” are pursuing further education in these campuses.






How do you become a member?

To become a YFC member, there is a retreat which one needs to attend. the retreat lasts 3 days and 2 nights. (Youth Camp)

To fully appreciate the value of the Camp and to make the most out of it, it must be seen not just as a 3-day experience where the teenagers can have FUN, (altough this is also important), but in the light of the overall objectives of the Youth Camp, so that the youth can develop to be joyful, responsible and fruitful men and women of God.

We should realize that the camp is not an end in itself, but the beginning of a relationship with God and those in YFC .
