Dear Friends of
YFC,
PRICELESS:
the word probably brings a number of things to mind. You might remember seeing
social media postings that make fun of an embarrassing moment and how
priceless it is to have a camera on hand to capture it. A credit card
company uses the word to describe times in life that apparently become
priceless because you have your credit card on hand to pay for it (I'm not
really a fan of that idea).
On a
personal level, I think you could easily come up with something or someone in
your life that you consider priceless. Maybe it's your own children, a
grandchild, a treasured photo of a very special moment in life. You might also
think of a gift you've received from someone dear to you.
For us at
CDYFC, every kid to whom we minister is priceless. It's vital that we
share Jesus' life-rescuing message of love and forgiveness with each one we
meet. God has sunk into our souls the mission to do whatever it takes to
communicate God's truth to kids, to show them their worth in His eyes, to love
them, to help them grow in Christ.
This week we
have another opportunity to communicate priceless truth to a group of
freshmen and sophomores. Tomorrow and Thursday, our staff are bringing the
Point Break anti-bullying program to students from Middleburgh Central Schools.
While we are not allowed to share the Gospel message in this setting, the
Christ-filled lives of our staff and other presenters, the way in which we treat
and love on these kids will speak God's love to them.
Remember
that these programs are happening because the kids who attended January's Excel
high school conference knew that helping kids see they are loved, that they are
not alone in the pain and difficulties they face is priceless enough to
respond. The offering collected at Excel paid for these Point Breaks.
Please pray
for our staff as they present the programs. Pray for our ministry staff as each
week they speak and live God's truth and love into the lives of kids. We will
never stop pursuing lost kids. They are priceless - they are worth
it. We will do whatever it takes!
Thank you for
praying! Thank you for giving generously to this ministry.
For the
kids,
CDYFC
