A few weeks ago at Campus Life we talked about why God came to Earth in human form. In the end, we decided He chose this approach because He wanted to give us a glimpse of who He is in a way that we could understand and not be afraid of. For many people today, reading the Gospels gives them that glimpse into the heart of God that draws them into a relationship with Him, but for many others, the Jesus of Scriptures still seems distant and irrelevant. That is why we try to follow Christ’s example by giving the students at YFC a glimpse of God that they can understand. Our prayer is that bit by bit, they will grow to understand Him, and then to trust Him, and finally to build their own relationship with Him.
In the last month, we have had quite a few new students attend Campus Life and/or other activities such as, open mike nights at Café Aroma, or the 6-8th grade overnight. We also have a good group of students who have been attending very consistently. We are seeing them open up and grow, slowly but surely.
We have a few upcoming events on the calendar. During spring break, we will be helping to sort donations at the Crossing’s thrift store (date TBA), and another day, we will hang out at the YFC house for the afternoon. March 27 & 28 is Dare to Share, a conference in St. Louis to which we hope to take some students. In the more distant future, we hope to attend AgapeFest, a music festival on May 1 & 2.
Our students would be grateful for any opportunities to earn some of the money for these trips, so if you have any projects you need help with, please contact me at (217) 836-1733 or Kayleigh at (309) 335-7904.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support!
