Dear Friends of YFC,
As the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches next week, we at Youth for Christ have a LOT for which we are thankful to our Lord. The biggest news, in case you haven't heard it, is that we received our temporary Certificate of Occupancy last Friday from the Town of Halfmoon for the new YFC Adventure Center! Months of hard work and a double effort from our staff in these past few weeks brought us in line with what the town needed to see accomplished.
That C.O. was significant because the first of three of our annual banquets began this past Sunday (with another set for tonight) - and we needed to be able to use the new site for the banquets. Praise God for His provision! The photo below shows The Edge Halfmoon climbing gym manager Adam Catalano with the town of Halfmoon inspector presenting the C.O.

Power will be run to the building soon and then the Edge Halfmoon Climbing Gym can open! What an exciting time for us. Thank you for praying through this process - and keep praying as there is more work to be done before we can move in 100%.
As we think about Thanksgiving, I am also reminded of how thankful we are that every day we get to share the message of Jesus' love and forgiveness with kids. Just recently, YFC's Andy Lightcap had the privilege of leading a young boy named Joseph to the Lord. Joseph is a middle school boy who said for many weeks at club that he was just not ready to surrender his life to Jesus. A week ago, he made that choice and entered into a lifelong journey of faith. Now Joseph can't wait for his best friend to receive Christ as well. The enthusiasm of a changed soul is infectious!
Thank you so much for the incredible part that you play in this mission to reach every young person, one at a time with the life-changing message of Jesus. Please know that our staff and volunteers value and cherish your prayers and your generous giving very much. Your partnership with us is vital as we move ahead to reach more kids, to impact more communities for Christ.
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
For the kids,
John Richmond, Executive Director
