Every young person

The vision of Youth for Christ is, as a part of the body of Christ, to see every young person in every people group in every nation have the opportunity to make an informed decision to become a follower of Jesus Christ and to become a part of a local church.

 

 “…every young person” in the world!!  What a goal!!  That means that locally, we want to relevantly and lovingly share the great news of Jesus with every young person so that they have a chance to embrace Jesus.  We don’t coerce or convince, we present Jesus through our lives and words.  Then we let them decide.  We don’t guilt or condemn.  We love.  If they decide to embrace Christ, that’s great!  If not, we have no desire to push that person aside and move on.  By that time, they have become our friend and we really do love them.  There is no agenda, but to live to truly honor Christ. 

 

I don’t know about you, but Jesus has changed me … and He continues to change me.  I’m not perfect, but I know that Jesus is real and that he’s worth looking into.  I know that the more I get to know Jesus, the more amazed I am at who He is.  So, that’s why I’m on staff with Youth for Christ.  Jesus is transforming me and I want to help others have the opportunity to have a relationship with Him.
