YFC bridges the gap for our future leaders. I am a part of YFC today because I believe YFC is a big part of our future. The kids we turn out today will be our leaders in the future. I know of no other organization so well conceived and dedicated to helping kids learn about Jesus and actively learning to love their neighbors.

In the early 1980’s Campus Life was a significant chapter in my life. It was through a Campus Life event that I gave my life to Christ – I was 16 years old. Campus Life is still changing lives…I want to be a part of what God is doing.

I was originally asked to be on the steering committee for the roll out of the Teen Parents program, which gave me the opportunity to serve CIYFC. As I have become more involved with the organization, the mission of CIYFC and the passion in which it is carried out, allows me to support and serve those who fulfill this important work . I am honored to serve and look forward to seeing where Christ leads us.
