CFC Youth for Christ aims to
provide a Christian support environment for young teenagers between 13 to 21
years of age.
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 Free , but responsible expression.
YFC is now established all over
the Philippines as well as in cities and states of other countries around the
world including Canada. It is in the community parishes, as well as in various
high schools and universities.
Annually, for the last ten years,
Youth for Christ gathers over 10,000 of its leaders all over the country and
abroad in an International Leaders Conference during summer. This is a focal
event in the life of 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, Praise Cruise 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.
