We’re celebrating God’s faithfulness at Denver Area YFC!
June ended our fiscal year, and it is also my one-year anniversary as Executive Director. What an amazing year it has been! Here are just a few of the things God has done that we are celebrating.
God has allowed us to:
- Add two new Campus Life staff and have Campus Life ministry going in three schools. A year ago there was only one. In addition we are planning on adding two more staff this summer and expanding to six schools in the fall
-
Pioneer a brand
new ministry strategy at Gilliam Youth Services Center called T3 (Training, Transition & Transformation). - Begin a new Mentoring initiative with the Department of Youth Corrections that allows us to create significant, long term, one-on-one relationships between adult mentors and kids who desperately need their help and guidance.
- Expand our Juvenile Justice Ministry into another facility for girls and hired a chaplain to oversee it.
- Develop a new ministry partnership in the Denver “Five Points” neighborhood which is, historically, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Denver.
- See kids start to follow Jesus in our Campus Life ministries, in the correctional facilities and in the neighborhoods!
- Retire our debt!
Your partnership is making an impact and it is growing!
As we look toward the ministry year ahead, there is great potential. We are trusting God to provide all of the financial resources needed to accomplish the vision of reaching kids in Denver for Christ. In order for that to happen, we need to significantly increase our funding, our volunteer staff and our ministry partnerships.
- Please pray that God would continue to go before us.
- Ask God how you might increase the part you play.
- Prayerfully consider giving an extra gift this month.
Together, we can see more and more kids all across the Denver area become followers of Jesus Christ!
