Expand the boundaries of your youth work by booking a YFC national evangelism team or national staff member.
Youth for Christ recognises the importance of day-to-day, relational youth work. But we also know that, occasionally, it helps to introduce something a little unique into your regular youth work programme.
YFC has a number of staff and mission teams who are available to come alongside the local church or YFC centre to provide a high profile focus for the work you are doing.
SPORTS
Sport has always been a regular activity for young people. The sports teams within YFC aim to use their own passion for sport to connect with young people both in and out of the church. The teams use their own sports skills to encourage the young people in their own abilities and encourage their self growth and confidence.
