Together We Can Reach More Youth.

A few weeks ago I was in Colorado Springs with other YFC leaders from across the country.  We gather in person a couple times a year to encourage, share stories, laugh, cry, and grow together.  

We drove up to Pikes Peak at 14,115′ elevation.  I felt like I could touch the clouds, it was amazing to see God’s creation from that view.

After my time in Colorado God reminded it takes a team to do his work, I can’t do this alone.

What we’ve worked on this year to create opportunity for others to partner with this ministry, started with lots of prayer, a strategic plan and new vision for this community.  It’s been a year of growth, determination, persistence, patience, and listening.  I’m more hopeful than I’ve been in a long time, however, God’s timing looks different then mine.

For the past few months, we’ve been busy meeting with like-minded partners in person and on zoom calls sharing the mission and vision of MvYFC (Mid-Valley Youth for Christ).  The connections we’ve made have brought excitement and energy to see more growth and reach more youth.  One of these recent connections generated an invite to give a presentation at a local church in Lebanon, OR this last Sunday.  The folks there were kind and curious about God’s work with incarcerated youth.  We had a great morning meeting new friends.  Thank you Jonas and CBC for this opportunity!

We are sharing at another church next weekend and excited to see how God will us those around us to partner together.  We can’t do this alone, and we believe there are more folks out there who want to serve but not sure how or where.  We’ve got a place for you!  Together, we can make a difference in the lives of incarcerated youth.

Will you pray for us as we present our vision and needs so we can reach more youth?
