Trafford Youth for Christ
Trafford Youth for Christ are delighted to announce that our new Director, Matthew, will joining the team from 23rd September. This month, Trafford Youth for Christ's update comes from Charlie…
Hello, I’m Charlie, the youth and schools worker at Trafford Youth for Christ (TYFC). I have been in this role since April having previously worked in church-based youth ministry and having a passion to see Jesus in the lives of young people and for him to enter the spaces they inhabit.
The key aspects of my role are to support and host groups for young people to share in fellowship with others their age and to learn more about Jesus. Most of these groups are linked with schools, especially with the lunch clubs that we lead at Altrincham Grammar School for Girls and Ashton on Mersey School. We also support churches with their children’ work, for example we support in the leading of the Friday afterschool club at St George’ Church in Altrincham. A third part of my role at TYFC is meeting with youth and children’ workers in the area as well as different churches to encourage the various ministries that are happening in the Trafford area.
TYFC’s mission is “about seeing young peoples lives changed by Jesus” and the vision within my role is to do this by meeting young people in the area regardless of their faith, and to plant seeds of gospel truths which they can then reflect upon. The aim is to do this in a fun and engaging way which is accessible to them; this usually looks like holding spaces for fellowship, exciting games and discussion around life and what the Bible says about how we should live.
Prayer pointers:
-
Praise for our financial supporters and volunteers. Pray that the number of contributors would grow and that those who give would be blessed as they do so.
-
Pray for the young people that TYFC interact with as they start their new academic year. Pray also for those who interact with them (for example teachers and families) that they would be energised through what they do.
-
Pray that the ministry of Trafford Youth for Christ would be rooted in the Bible and be lead by the Holy Spirit’s direction.
