Dear Friends of YFC,
He's only 8 years old. He's definitely NOT in our ministry's target age group.
Neither is his mom. She's 22. When you do the math, you realize this boy was
born when mom was about 14. But he's been coming to City Life's Jump Off
ministry every Monday night for a few months.
His mom came two weeks ago. She told City Life's Andy Lightcap that she stopped going
to church a long time ago. But, she said that all her son talks about is the
Jump Off and that he can't wait to go each week. She also said that she needs
to be learning the things her son is learning...and that she wants to start
going to church again.
22 and 8 - not in YFC's target - but needing ministry, needing the Hope that only is
found in Christ Jesus. THAT's why we do what we do...because people need
HOPE.
From the Jump Off to Campus Life to Teen Parents to Excel and Break OUt - meeting a
kid (and sometimes a parent) one on one and sharing the love of Jesus is the
core of Youth for Christ - it is the core of our daily ministry.

With the Break Out middle school conference now just 3 weeks away, please continue to
pray for our staff as they prepare for the event. Pray also for the 600 students
and church youth leaders who will be attending. Pray for their hearts to be
prepared for what God will challenge them with over the weekend.
Pray for the kids coming with our City and Campus Life staff, too. Pray that God
would clearly speak to them and draw their hearts to His.
Thank you so much for the incredible part that you play in this mission to reach every
young person, one at a time with Jesus' love. 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.
God bless you.
For the kids,
John Richmond, Executive Director
