Due to growing concerns surrounding the Coronavirus, the Youth for Christ Banquet on April 2nd has been postponed. We have tentatively rescheduled it for May 21st, but this is completely subject to the recommendations of national, state, and local officials. We will continually value safety and health as we make all organizational decisions. We will keep you in the loop on any further developments. 

In 30 days, Stateline YFC is seeking to raise annual pledges totaling $30,000 (30 for 30!), which will then be matched by a generous grant from YFC USA with another $30,000 during 2020 and 2021.

Anyone else ever been sucker-punched by what was written in a book? Just me? Well, as Haddon said a couple weeks ago, our team is reading the book titled “The Emotionally Healthy Leader” by Peter Scazzero. The first three chapters have been filled with wisdom and some incredible ways of reflecting on my life and my role as a leader.

I have been thinking a lot lately about an important life lesson that I learned from Kenny and I would love to share with you, in case you find yourself in a place of needing a little encouragement this week.

Ministry is both rewarding and draining. It is common for ministry leaders to operate from a state of emotional exhaustion. 

Why does a year-end gift to Youth for Christ matter? They matter because they advance our capacity to touch individual lives with the unconditional love of Christ, leading to transformation spiritually, socially, and emotionally.
