What Am I Really Seeking?

Do you ever walk into a room knowing that you're looking for something specific, but when you get there, you completely forget what it was that you came in to find? Maybe you've experienced the stress and confusion of following a GPS or written directions to an unfamiliar place, only to realize that you are nowhere near where you're supposed to be.  You're lookng for something, but just not finding it.

You have something in common with today's young people. So many young people are looking for something or someone to hold onto.  They try out a lot of different options: relationships, drugs or alcohol, social media, sports or entertainment.  But most often at the end of the day, kids realize they still haven't found what they're looking for.

That's because who they're really looking for is God.  They just don't know it.  The emptiness they feel, the need to fill a void can only be satisfied through a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

We at Youth for Christ have the opportunity every day to share the message of hope, the gift of Christ's love and forgiveness with kids.  Whether it's at a City Life weekly "Jump Off" gathering, a Campus Life Club in someone's home, a Parent Life Spa Night or a one-on-one conversation with a young person, we can point them to the One they're truly looking for.

God told the prophet in Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."  It's our mission to help kids truly seek God - ask questions, dig into His Word, truly seek Him out.  It is such a blessing when we hear a teenager tell us, "I met Jesus today."  They've found what they've been searching for their whole life.

In order to keep pursuing this mission, we rely on partners like you. We need additional volunteers, we need connections to people in new communities to see ministry begin.  We also need generous donors who will commit to supporting the ministry of Youth for Christ on a regular basis.
