Youth For Christ Northern Ireland

YOUTH FOR CHRIST NI

Helping young people find Jesus, follow Him and join His family

OUR VISION

YFCNI exists to impact an unreached generation of young people for Jesus, working with local churches, partners and the community; to see young people across Northern Ireland experience, share and be transformed by the love of God, and reach their full potential; physically, emotionally, educationally and spiritually.

DROP-IN CENTRES

Our core vision is to partner with local churches and individuals to set up and develop long term ‘drop-in centres’ in the local area, with a vision of reaching young people in the community who are currently beyond the churches reach.

YFC have currently have 9 Drop-In Centres based in towns and communities within Northern Ireland. A YFC ‘drop-in centre’ is a locally run centre or project that provides a neutral and safe environment for young people from all backgrounds to come together and grow personally, socially, educationally and spiritually, while tackling many of issues prevalent for young people in society today.

For more information on our drop-in centres, please contact info@yfcni.org or contact the centres directly through the links below.

NOMAD CAGE FOOTBALL

Nomad is a sports ministry ‘resource’ for churches, schools and Christian organisations. It uses a portable football cage and a team of volunteers to engage with young people across Northern Ireland.

This football cage can be set up anywhere; in a school hall, playground or car park area. Through the football cage, thought provoking presentations and classroom workshops, Nomad are able to promote positive values and greater understanding of the Christian faith to young people and children.

For more information on Nomad or to make a booking, please email Stevie Garrett on stevie@yfcni.org

WHAT ELSE DO WE DO?

Summer Camp

This is our yearly summer camp that supports our local centres by running a camp suitable for the young people they engage with throughout the year. It provides an opportunity for young people to get out of their normal context and meet young people from other cultures and backgrounds, as well as an opportunity to hear about God in a creative and relevant way.

For more information, please contact the office on info@yfcni.org

3 Story Evangelism Training

3Story Evangelism is a training programme that coaches individuals in how to use their story and God’s story to share the gospel. It is not an evangelism tool or method, but a way of life that is all about connecting stories: me and my story, God and His story, them and their story.

For more information, please contact the office on chris@yfcni.org

Internship Programme

The Internship programme is a year long training and development programme for young people aged 18 – 25 years. The purpose is to train and develop young leaders who are interested in youth work and in particular working with unreached young people from deprived and disadvantaged backgrounds.

For more information, please contact Jonny McClune on jonnymcc@yfcni.org
