True to the commission of Christ, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21), CFC Youth for Christ (YFC) is truly an empowerment of the youth; not only to be good Christian men and women, but to spread the good news and “renew the face of the earth.”
As YFC members find themselves being sent we realize that a major arena in this mission are the campuses. More and more young people today are being pressured into entering immoral relationships, learning to cheat and steal, joining gangs and literally “dying” in the very place where they are meant to learn and live, simply because there are no real exciting alternatives to choose from. Sadly, many factors, such as divorce and mass media that erodes Christian values, result in the diminishing support of a Christian environment at home. This offers little help to the youth, who are already in need of much support and guidance.
Therefore, the work of YFC in the campuses is an urgent response to the need to provide a healthy and exciting environment in college campuses, where faith among students can flourish, and bonds of friendship, brotherhood and sisterhood with other young men and women can be formed.
