Youth for Christ is excited to present Young Evangelist Training!  

We believe that the most qualified people to reach the youth of Australia - are the youth of Australia! It is our vision to release and equip young people with tools to see God transform the world around them. We desire to journey with youth and raise them up to be Christian leaders that bring about societal transformation.  

In light of this we have tailored a camp for late teens to early 20's that is designed to be a spiritual 'boot camp' where youth can interact with other fired up christians, soak in God's presence and learn practical principles of how to infiltrate their areas of influence with the gospel.

The camp will be held on the 25th - 27th of May at Belgrave Heights Convention Centre. The cost for the weekend is $100. For more details click here.

If money was not a problem, what would be different about your ministry?

Do you know a volunteer who could do amazing things if they had a regular income?

Have you ever had a dream to do something big for God and then given it up, or shrunk the dream, because you don’t have enough money?

Are you saying no to God because there is no money to help you follow your calling?

Now you have a solution! International Steward is a ministry working with YFCI that has seen phenomenal fruit through teaching and equipping Christians in stewardship, fundraising and all things pertaining to financing your ministry.

Financing your ministry is undoubtedly one of the most difficult challenges about being a part of a faith-based movement like YFC. In order to equip you in overcoming this challenge, we are excited to be hosting a 3-part training workshop with International Steward.

Term 2 this year has been very exciting as it was the start of One50's newest club, opening  in Aldinga! It is held at a local primary school which has already given the Aldinga team a chance to connect with the school and start builing some relationships.

With new people coming along each week the club is already filling with young famlies and kids that are keen to dance and have fun!! Team leader, Nicky, is really excited about the potential for this new club and has an amazing team that is passionate about the youth in this area of Adelaide.

Youth for Christ has launched its new website in line with its recent rebranding process. This website utilises a Content Management System (CMS) to organise and control the look and feel of the site.

Youth for Christ Australia has launched its new look - a new logo, new newsletter and new website. But its mission and vision remain unchanged as it seeks to reach every young person in Australia with the message of hope and love of Jesus Christ.

After more than a year of reassessing its priorities, its purpose and its ability to deliver services, YFC has emerged with a fresh look and feel and an even greater enthusiasm to reach every young person in Australia with the message of hope and love through Jesus Christ.
