Values Integrated Thru Action-based Learning

V.I.T.A.L. is a training process that provides an effective framework for youth workers to use whenever working with a variety of young people. It is particularly effective when working with 'youth at risk'.

During the course, participants are trained to run "No Limits" - a school-based program that has meet with outstanding results in assisting young people to value and explore their potential.

While focus is placed on the "No Limits" program, the V.I.T.A.L. training process is transferable to working with all types of young people and situations (leadership programs, camps, youth groups, bible studies.

Three Story Evangelism

Three Story Evangelism (TSE) doesn't separate discipleship and evangelism. It begins with my discipleship and ends with their discipleship. It doesn't end with a raised hand but a lifelong deepening walk with Jesus. Based on living and understanding three stories - God's, mine, and their's. TSE is natural, friendly, and freeing. Talking about Jesus comes out of the context of my story and not my agenda.

YFC University

The YFC University was established to grow disciples; to train, equip and empower followers of Jesus to be authentic Kingdom-building Christians actively engaged in reaching and discipling others. We have courses and resources for all learning levels, so take a look at our catalog of courses - all offered as a service of Youth for Christ International in partnership with RBC Ministries.

Jesus commanded us to "go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt 28:19). We believe God has called Youth for Christ (YFC) to make disciples who are disciple makers and 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.

The YFC University is designed to provide youth leadership training, biblical study courses, theological education and spiritual formation curriculum to any young person, volunteer, church youth leader and YFC staff in the world who wishes to access these training/educational resources in the context of their geographical, cultural, and social environment.
