CFC Youth for Christ is a youth ministry under the Couples for Christ (click to learn more) community that aims to provide a Christian support environment for the young adults in elementary (12 yrs and up), secondary and post secondary school.
The program is oriented towards meeting the needs of our young people to belong, to be motivated, to be useful, to be good examples, to be Christian witnesses. It has put a premium on four characteristics: it is Fun ; it builds Friendships ; it enhances the Faith ; it allows the young to be Free, but responsible expression.
Annually, for the last 8 years, Youth for Christ gathers hundreds of its members all over the country and abroad in its National Conference during the summer. This is a focal event in the life of a YFC, a time to celebrate God's goodness in the coming together of young brothers and sisters who love the Lord. The three-day weekend is highlighted by talks, creative and sports competitions, vibrant worship, wholesome entertainment, a Praise Parade, and Praisefest.
YFC's future is directed towards giving the youth a worthwhile cause to support as we seek to address, in our small way, the plight of the poor and the less privileged and the social and environmental issues that trample on the youth's human dignity: abortion, drugs, fraternity violence, sexual immorality, corruption and even the rape of our natural resources.
The first step in joining this community is through a 2 day 2 night retreat designed to initiate young people into a deeper conviction of love for God and His Church. This retreat contains group and individual prayer sessions, fun games and creative-art workshops. This retreat delivers the basic Christian message through five different sessions: “God’s Love and His Plan for Us”, "Who is Jesus Christ to me”, "Repentance, Faith, Healing and Forgiveness”, " Receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit” and "Growing in the Spirit”.
The youth are then kept active in the community through regular prayer meetings, teachings, parish involvement, sports fests, fashion shows, fundraisers, picnics, amusement park days, and so much more!
CFC-YFC Community based is considered the core program of the ministry. This is the program that coincides with the Couples for Christ ministry, where members are spiritually nourished through households and household assemblies. Our thrust for this program is more parish involvement. Our goal is to unite the youths in the parishes in discovering God's great love and purpose for their lives. Whether it be, joining and helping out in the youth groups or helping start one.
YFC High school based offers an alternative peer environment for the students which supports the school's thrust of academic excellence and spiritual formation. The high school based creates an environment for existing YFC members to gather during club times and build their faith as well as evangelize to their peers.
YFC Campus is "CFC Youth for Christ's" official evangelization program based within College or University level campuses. Recognized as an official campus club, Youth for Christ gives members an opportunity to meet and build faith in their hectic College/University lives.
"Be a model to the believers in the way you speak and act, in your love, your faith and purity of life." 1 Timothy 4:12
Its a lifestyle with a message that'll be carried out in both speech & action. This is the time for youth & young adults to make their mark in society by setting themselves apart from the crowd & restoring the pure culture God originally intended.
100% Pure is a program designed so that people will see that Christ is alive in this generation -- a generation of youth & young adults who desire to make a difference in society by choosing purity as a whole in their lives.
Youth ANCOP (Youth ANswering the Cry Of the Poor) is what its name states, it is the youthful representatives of ANCOP International for the purpose of representation of the ANCOP-GK cause to the leaders of tommorow.
