This page seeks to increase awareness of what God is doing through the ministry of Youth for Christ around the world - for the benefit of friends and supporters of Youth for Christ, as well as YFC staff, volunteers and board members. Youth for Christ is a worldwide Christian movement working with young people around the globe. Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ we share the good news of God wi

th young people. Youth for Christ is made up of tens of thousands of indigenous people in over 100 nations working together in giving every young person an opportunity to be a follower of Jesus Christ. It’s like asking what the weather is like in the USA or Europe. It all depends on where you are. Youth for Christ uniquely reaches young people in ways that are relevant to them in the context of their culture and life circumstances.

Some of the best things about G21 Camp 2026 cannot be measured by attendance numbers, programme schedules, or photos.

They are found in the people.

The conversations that went late into the night.

The laughter shared between strangers who became friends.

The prayers whispered over one another.

The encouragement that came at exactly the right moment.

The familiar faces.

The new connections.

The stories exchanged.

Different backgrounds.

Different cultures.

Different journeys.

Yet gathered around one faith, one mission, and one Savior.

G21 Camp reminded us that ministry is not just about events.

It's about relationships.

It's about people walking together, learning from one another, and discovering that they are part of something bigger than themselves.

Long after the sessions are forgotten, many will remember the friendships formed, the encouragement received, and the people who helped strengthen their faith.

To everyone who attended, served, prayed, led, and invested in others—thank you.

You are what made G21 Camp 2026 so special.

Because we were never meant to walk this journey alone.

Every young person has a story.

Some carry wounds we cannot see.

Some hide rejection behind anger.

Some mask loneliness with confidence.

Some are searching for hope in all the wrong places.

It's easy to focus on behaviour.

The attitude.

The mistakes.

The poor choices.

The struggles.

But Jesus always looked deeper.

Where others saw a failure, He saw potential.

Where others saw a sinner, He saw someone worth saving.

Where others saw a problem, He saw a person created in the image of God.

The next generation doesn't need more labels.

They need people who will see them as Jesus sees them.

People who will listen before judging.

Love before condemning.

Encourage before criticizing.

And believe in God's purpose for their lives even before they can see it themselves.

Every young person carries a story.

Every young person faces struggles.

And every young person has God-given potential waiting to be discovered.

The question is not whether they have value.

The question is whether we are willing to see it.

The world teaches us to hold on tightly.

God teaches us to open our hands.

We often think joy comes from what we possess, what we achieve, or what we accumulate.

But God's Kingdom works differently.

The greatest joy is not found in keeping what God gives you.

It is found in watching Him use it.

Your time.

Your gifts.

Your resources.

Your influence.

Your experiences.

When surrendered to God, ordinary things become instruments of extraordinary impact.

A conversation can become a testimony.

An act of generosity can become someone's answered prayer.

A faithful investment in a young person can influence generations.

The blessing was never meant to stop with us.

God blesses us so that we can become a blessing to others.

And when we see lives changed, hope restored, and people drawn closer to Christ because of what we placed in His hands, we discover a deeper kind of joy.

The joy of Kingdom impact.

The joy of eternal significance.

The joy of seeing God do more with our surrender than we could ever do with our control.

What happens when a young person encounters the love of Jesus?

A life changes.

A family changes.

A community changes.

And sometimes, an entire generation changes.

Youth for Christ Canada believes that transformed youth have the opportunity to transform communities, our country, and the world. Every day, staff and volunteers are investing in young people, helping them discover God's love, truth, hope, and purpose for their lives.

What makes this ministry unique is its local impact. From Halifax in the east to Vancouver Island in the west, Youth for Christ chapters are serving young people in ways that meet the specific needs of their communities while sharing a common mission: helping youth know and follow Jesus.

Together, this ministry includes:

✅ 37 chapters and affiliates
✅ 983 staff members
✅ 3,381 volunteers
✅ 398 communities served
✅ 954 church partnerships

These numbers tell a story of collaboration, commitment, and a shared vision to reach the next generation.

But behind every number is a young person.

A young person discovering hope.

A young person finding belonging.

A young person encountering Jesus.

Because when a young person's life is transformed by Christ, the impact reaches far beyond that individual.

In a nation where only a small percentage of people identify as Christian, every young person reached with the Gospel matters.

Youth for Christ Mongolia began in 2013 with just three full-time staff and 20 volunteers. Since then, the ministry has developed creative ways to reach young people, including sports outreach, digital evangelism, discipleship, rural leadership training, and the True Friend book café.

One of the ministry’s greatest tools has been the True Friend 12-week speaking club, created by the YFC Mongolia team. Through partnerships with more than ten local churches, the program has shared the hope of Christ with more than 1,000 young people.

The vision continues to grow.

YFC Mongolia is praying for young believers to grow deeper in Christ, for True Friend to reach even more young people, for a second ministry office, a youth development centre, stronger resources for staff, and greater opportunities to reach rural communities and equip young leaders.

Please pray for the team as they trust God for provision, new opportunities, and the resources needed to carry the Gospel further across Mongolia.

A small team can make a big impact when they are willing to trust God and reach one life at a time.

Revival rarely happens overnight.

Sometimes it begins with a few faithful people who refuse to give up.

Youth for Christ Spain began in 1948 and experienced seasons of growth, challenges, and rebuilding. At one point, leadership was scarce and the future seemed uncertain.

Yet God was not finished.

Through faithful leadership, perseverance, and a commitment to reaching young people with the Gospel, the ministry began to grow again.

Today, Youth for Christ Spain is equipping leaders, discipling young people, hosting camps and retreats, providing leadership training, and helping raise up the next generation of Christ-centered influencers.

The impact extends beyond Spain. Through partnerships and pioneering efforts, new ministries have emerged and churches have been planted, demonstrating what God can do when people remain faithful to His calling.

Please pray for new staff and volunteers, wisdom for leaders, stronger partnerships with churches and organizations, and expanded opportunities to reach young people with the hope of Jesus Christ.

God often writes His greatest stories through people who simply refuse to quit.

Devastating floods and landslides have taken lives, left hundreds missing, and damaged homes, churches and entire communities in Nepal. Christian families have been deeply affected—including many young people who are facing loss, uncertainty and urgent practical needs.

You can help YFC Nepal reach its $10,000 emergency relief goal.

Your partnership can help provide food and clean water, temporary shelter, essential household supplies, clothing and hygiene materials, and direct support for affected families and local churches.

And your impact may reach beyond today’s emergency. As YFC Nepal serves people in their time of need, your generosity can help create new relationships, build trust and open doors for future ministry among young people and their communities.
Please pray—and consider how you can help.

Together, we can bring practical help today and create opportunities for hope tomorrow.

Sometimes the most powerful ministry stories will never make headlines.

One story that has stayed with us comes from South Africa.

A Grade 8 learner began attending one of our weekly support groups. When she first arrived, she barely spoke. She avoided eye contact and carried the weight of deep rejection.

Yet she kept coming back.

Week after week, she listened. She joined conversations. She was mentored. Most importantly, she began to hear about her identity in Christ and the truth of God's love for her.

Slowly, something changed.

Her confidence grew.

Her smile returned.

Hope began to replace hurt.

Then one day she shared these words with a facilitator:

*"I didn't know God could love someone like me. Now I know I matter."*

This is why we do what we do.

Because behind every number is a name.

Behind every statistic is a story.

And behind every transformed life is a God who never stops pursuing His children.

Thank you for helping make stories like this possible.

Sometimes ministry feels like planting seeds in dry ground.

You pray.

You serve.

You encourage.

You invest.

You show up week after week.

And yet it seems like nothing is changing.

The young person still struggles.

The friend hasn't come to Christ.

The family situation hasn't improved.

The breakthrough hasn't arrived.

But Scripture reminds us that a farmer does not dig up the seed every day to check if it is growing.

They keep sowing.

They keep watering.

They keep trusting.

Many of the lives we impact today will bear fruit months, years, or even decades from now.

The conversation you had.

The prayer you prayed.

The kindness you showed.

The truth you shared.

None of it is wasted in God's hands.

At Youth for Christ, we are called to faithfully sow seeds of the Gospel and trust God for the harvest.

So don't give up.

Keep praying.

Keep loving.

Keep serving.

Keep believing.

God is working, even when you cannot yet see it.

Because some of the greatest miracles begin underground.

In a world obsessed with programs, platforms, and strategies, one truth remains:

**The one thing to do is build relationships.**

Ministry has always been about people.

Not transactions, but transformation.

Not networking, but genuine connection.

Not simply gathering crowds, but walking alongside individuals as they grow in Christ.

One of the greatest gifts within Youth for Christ is that we are not alone in this mission.

**We are indeed a unique group of people.**

Different nations.

Different cultures.

Different languages.

Different ministry models.

Yet united by one Gospel, one mission, and one desire—to see young people know and follow Jesus.

When we take time to listen, learn, encourage, and serve one another, we become stronger together.

The relationships we build today can shape ministries, partnerships, and friendships that impact young people for decades to come.

Programs may change.

Strategies may evolve.

But relationships remain at the heart of Kingdom ministry.

Because ministry moves at the speed of trust.

And trust is built through relationships.
