Katie* is a ray of sunshine at her local YFC ministry site. She started attending a few months ago, and our leaders immediately took a liking to her. Katie is known for her kind heart and infectious smile. Every time she comes through the doors, she brightens the room. Her spirit is full of determination and joy, and she brings that same energy to everything she does with YFC.
But behind her cheerful personality is a story of deep hardship. Katie has experienced more trauma in her 12 years of life than most people do in a lifetime. Her childhood has been filled with turmoil, including stints in foster care. Yet, in the midst of the chaos in her life, she found her way to YFC. Here, she’s found a sense of home and steady hope in God.
Through YFC, Katie has been learning about Jesus and His love for her. She now loves listening to Christian music and enjoys knowing more about God through her YFC programming. Katie has begun inviting other students to join her at our ministry site and posts videos talking about how cool her YFC time is, encouraging everyone to attend. Recently, Katie made the life-changing decision to commit her life to Christ! Please join us in praying for her faith to deepen and that she grows closer to Jesus every day.
