Youth for Christ of Northwest Ohio

09/04/2026

What a night! ❤️ We loved gathering our YFC family and supporters for YFC for Grown Ups! ☕️ From our coffee truck and sweet conversations to a meaningful time of worship and sharing what God is doing through Youth For Christ, it was such a special evening.

We’re incredibly thankful for the amazing volunteer leaders, board members, families, and staff who make this ministry possible. We simply cannot serve students, build relationships, and share the hope of Jesus without people who are willing to show up, invest, listen, encourage, and love these students so well. 💛

Thank you to everyone who came, served, prayed, and continues to believe in what God is doing through YFC. We truly are better together! 🙌

Elvet and Reita would have been delighted to know that the antique tractor collection they generously left to YFC raised $29,000 at auction! ❤️ (Pictures in the comments)

Elvet and Reita trusted God's Word, and I am sure Matthew 6:19-21 inspired their outlook on life.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

We at Youth For Christ are so grateful for Elvet and Reitas example and generous donation. Also to the Foulkes family who worked hard to care for the tractors and help promote this auction. And to all who has followed along this story and everyone who participated in the auction...May Jesus be your treasure! ❤️

If you care to join in this legacy of giving, please visit https://givebutter.com/yfc-van-fund-rbeh6o to help establish a YFC van fund so we can continue to reach more teens!

Back-to-school season is here, and our ministry sites are getting ready to welcome students across Northwest Ohio.

Every week, Campus Life and City Life gatherings run on the simple things:

▪️Snacks for club nights

▪️Paper and markers for small groups

▪️A hot meal that makes a teenager feel expected and wanted

You can stock a ministry site from your couch. Our Amazon wish list is full of items our leaders reach for every single week, and even one box of granola bars ends up in a student's hands within days.

Check out the wish list at https://linktr.ee/nwohyfcamazon?utm_source=qr_code or sign up for a snack or meal https://linktr.ee/nwohyfchelp?utm_source=qr_code

Help us start the school year strong!
