So long, farewell and thanks.

Hello everyone. Todd Warden-Owen here, the administrator at Llandudno Youth for Christ.

This will be my last Blog post for Llandudno Youth for Christ I’m sad to say. This is also going to be my last day working for Llandudno Youth for Christ. On Monday 1st March I start a new job with a soap manufacturing company.

I am sad to leave and I have so many fond memories to take with me of my time working for Llandudno Youth for Christ, but I trust that this is the next step for me in God’s plan for my life.

I’ve had so many amazing experiences and times working here. It’s been great being part of a family that really cares for each other and the young people that they serve. A family that wants to see young people reached with the life changing message of the gospel.

I’ve taken part in ridiculous games. I’ve acted in wacky versions of the Nativity story. I cooked food for many young people. Helped set up events that have changed young people’s lives as they’ve engaged with God. Helped out in school lunch time clubs and after-school drop in youth clubs. I’ve taught from the Bible during our Sunday night Bible Study group and led worship at various different events. It truly has been a blast and a privilege to serve God in such an amazing ministry that is continually looking for new ways to share the good news of Jesus with you people relevantly in Llandudno and beyond.

Talking of the good news, recently God has really been highlighting the following verse from the Bible to me, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27. God has been teaching me that He is so close that in fact He is in me. The same goes for you. As a believer, Christ is in you. You are never alone. You are never forsaken. He is with you and He is in you.

Wow!

That is so encouraging. The gospel is really good news, and it’s great to know that long after I’m gone, the work of Llandudno Youth for Christ will carry on and they’ll see many more young lives changed by Jesus.

This work is so worthwhile, please do be praying for it and supporting it financially, for it really does make a difference to so many young people.

Thank you for listening and supporting us. Ciao for now and be blessed!
