Our Focus
Introducing young people to Jesus at pivotal moments
YFC is a movement that reaches young people everywhere with the hope of Christ. We work with the local church and other like-minded partners to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus who lead by their godliness in lifestyle, devotion to the Word of God and prayer, passion for sharing the love of Christ, and commitment to social involvement.

An Introduction to Jesus
For YFC, it is all about showing up. We show up in the lives of teens, no matter what their life circumstances may be, and reflect the light of Christ. This video features three students who share about how God used the ministry of Youth for Christ to introduce them to Jesus.
