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 to be Free , but responsible expression.
Annually, for the last ten years, Youth for Christ gathers hundreds of its members all over the country and abroad in a National Conference during the summer. This is a focal event in the life of a 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, 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.
The first step in joining this community is through a 2 day 2 night retreat designed to initiate young people into a deeper conviction of love for God and His Church. This retreat contains group and individual prayer sessions, fun games and creative-art workshops. This retreat delivers the basic Christian message through five different sessions: "God's Love and His Plan for Us", "Who is Jesus Christ to me", "Repentance, Faith, Healing and Forgiveness", "Receiving the Power of the Holy Spirit and "Growing in the Spirit".
The youth are then kept active in the community through regular prayer meetings, teachings, parish involvement, sports fests, fashion shows, fundraisers, picnics, amusement park days, and so much more!
