Back to the Past

Upper Canada Youth for Christ, serving churches by building relationships, sharing resources, and following the heart of God where it is already beating.

Here are a few things we wanted to share about our recent past... January 25, 2017 Johanna attended the eastern regional retreat in Kingston Ontario. During this time we learned to be at rest during seasons of business. Above, some of the staff who serve on the National team with Youth for Christ Canada. On January 29 we participated in a youth lead service at St. John Anglican Church in Prescott. It was a blessing to attend with youth that don't frequent church. February 1, 2017, we facilitated Alpha training for all of the churches in Brockville. There were about 40 small group leaders in attendance. Currently there are 10 Alpha groups running in Athens, Prescott and Brockville and Kemptville, these groups include, Church, Young Adult, Youth and Men's small groups. For more information please visit facebook.com/Alpha-Brockville 3 of our Youth, and Johanna were able to volunteer and learn from the Children's pastor, Desirae at Centennial Road church through the event "Midnight Madness". It is because of events like this that we are able to learn processes and bring them to bless other rural churches in Upper Canada. Our Tuesday night group in Prescott continues to grow. God has brought two new regular attending youth to us, and two that come occasionally. Youth have been pulling me (Johanna) aside, and asking for individual prayer after group. Last week a newer girl asked for prayer for her extended family because her cousin had just committed suicide at the age of 16. Another has asked for a friend with an eating disorder, and another for a friend who's family who grow, smoke and deal pot. The youth trusted in our care every Tuesday night are dealing with issues that may never even darken our doorways. Please pray for the next generation of youth. The ones that know they need Jesus, because nothing else works... for their minds, and heart to know the truth, and them to be kept whole and pure.

There is so much we could more share about what we have been doing. It is only through your obedience in giving that we have been able to be obedient to our call. Thank you for making this happen for us, and for the youth we have touched together over the past months. The number of youth your giving reaches is great and increasing. Thank you for being part of the family of God in this way.
