Updates!
What’s been going on at LLandudno YFC in 2014……
Recess…..
(School’s Out for Summer)
Great news coming from Recess this year! The group has grown so much, that it has now become two groups. The new Christian Union meeting has 10 new pupils in attendance, with 30 pupils going to the already well established C.U.
98% of those in attendance are completely unchurched! That’s brilliant!
YFC is unique amongst youth work organisations in that it does not merely seek to retain and disciple those already within the walls of the church, but is constantly looking to reach out to young people who have never before hear the good news of God’s salvation through His Son Jesus.
Redefine…..
Redefine is another success story at Llandudno YFC. We regularly have over 20 young people coming to this Sunday evening Bible Study.
In fact, since its inception, Redefine has grown from 5 to 30 young people attending. They come along for the fun, fellowship and of course to grow in their understanding of and relationship with God.
Tim and his excellent team of volunteers lead Bible studies with the groups, and currently they have been working through the book of Galatians. There is also a time to worship God together, and everyone is encouraged to bring along a guitar or any other instrument that they play to join in; fostering a great sense of involvement in the worship.
God really is blessing this work. So much so, that the group is large enough for them to split up into 3 Bible study sets, however this is currently unfeasible, due to a lack of volunteers. Please pray that God would provide more workers.
Reverb….
Blooming Marvelous
It seems, that just like the summer sun is making everything grow horticulturally; the ministries of YFC Llandudno are growing too. God really is blessing the work.
The Reverb meeting on Wednesday nights has started to grow, with plenty of new faces. The Student nights are also growing. On average, we are seeing over 30 people come to Reverb meetings.
To meet the need for new volunteers to help serve and support the work at Reverb, young Volunteers and going to start being trained this coming Autumn.

Focus Day
On the 6th of June Tim and the new centre administrator, Todd visited YFC head office in Halesowen for a Focus Day (A time to meet with the national leadership team, and other workers from YFC Centres throughout the UK). This was a great opportunity to network with other YFC centres and also hear about the plans and vision of the national leadership team for the future: how they feel God is directing them in enabling every church to reach every young person in their community.
