Today's feature is the sideview of the Youth For Christ (YFC) house at 917 North Elm Street in Greensboro. YFC reaches out to youth who share the love of Christ and who are looking for social involvement centered around Christian endeavors. On their website, YFC helps explain its mission in the following way:
"Just as our nation's culture has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, so has the way in which people come to Christ. The weekend church service is no longer the primary mechanism for salvation decisions; only one out of every ten believers who makes a decision to follow Christ does so in a church setting or service. On the other hand, personal relationships have become even more important in evangelism, with a majority of salvation decisions coming in direct response to an invitation given by a family member or friend." Evangelism is most effective among kids. Copyrighted by The Barna Group, Ltd. Youth for Christ has been evangelizing since 1944. The YFC building on North Elm Street is relatively new, freshly painted, and equipped with vehicles and vans to help teenagers participate in Christian activities. We hope you have a happy Sunday and, if your church is looking for a way to support teens in their faith path, consider volunteering for or donating to YFC.
I'm not going to comment on this post other than to say YFC ain't all it's cooked up to be and it was begun and run by a nasty man who somehow missed the message of Jesus. Don't you have people in Greensboro who are not fundamentalist Christians? YFC's message is that they are all going to hell unless they accept the premise from which YFC operates.

Hmmm, I've not heard of the organization before.
