DENVER AREA YFC REACHES YOUTH IN ALL ASPECTS

YFC is celebrating God’s work as hundreds of youth are meeting Jesus through relationships with Denver Area YFC (DAYFC) staff and volunteers. With a legacy of over sixty-five years of effective youth ministry, DAYFC has differentiated itself by its multifaceted approach to meeting the needs of Denver area youth. They make their presence in juvenile justice centers, inner-city neighborhoods, and on school campuses. YFC staff and volunteers see the hope and potential in every young person everywhere.

The Denver Area YFC executive director, Ken Allen, has highlighted their growth and success in reaching young people for Christ.

Allen says, “We celebrate what God continues to do in and through the ministry of Denver Area Youth For Christ! Over 250 high school students regularly participate in weekly YFC Campus Life breakfasts. With that said, 152 young people have engaged in authentic Christ-sharing relationships with YFC leaders.”

DAYFC PUTTING IN HARD WORK

With over 20 ministry sites throughout the Denver metro area, Denver Area YFC continues to engage and serve young people on campuses, in juvenile justice centers, as well as teen parents through their Parent Life ministry. DAYFC wants to continue growing this amazing ministry since it not only impacts teen parents, but their children as well, and they rely on faithful volunteers and partners like you to keep it going.

Allen and the DAYFC team recently completed their annual virtual 5K Run. This Run is designed to help raise funds as well as build awareness. The virtual 5K encourages supporters to run or walk 5 kilometers anywhere around the world.

Allen says, “DAYFC continues to go the distance for Denver’s young people and the Virtual 5K is a great example. Supporters could run, walk or bike (or get creative!). They can do this from wherever they are—anywhere in the world—and bring awareness to our cause. We value however they want to help and support our mission to reach the youth in the Denver area!”
