Once upon a time ...

YFC Ottawa first originated in 1996/1997 (around there), and unfortunately for two years it became inactive. However, on May 10-12, 2002; we held a New Generation Camp, which was led by former AreaHeads Thor and Kristine. Also, co-ordinated by CFC members Tito Prim and Tita Rose.

As of 2005, YFC Ottawa is still going strong. Of course, with a few bumps on the road, the Lord is truly with us as we overcome them.

Now, for more info :

CFC Youth For Christ is a group of young men and women who are eager and want to serve God. YFC can be found all over the world in over 100 different countries.

YFC holds camps every year, it is the welcoming to the group. There are also meetings that are regular and fellowships (get togethers). The age range of YFC goes from 12 to early 20s.

I WANNA JOIN YFC?!!?!!?
To become a member of YFC, we hold retreats that you need to attend. It usually last for 3 days and 2 nights. It costs around 50-70$ for the whole retreat(do not let the price fool you, it's worth it). Throughout the retreat, there are talks and shares from members. And of course, FUN GAMES.

What is YFC about?
YFC recognizes that the members are in a "fast growth" stage in life. It is during this time when formation is fastest. It encompasses various aspects of the young adult's life. The activities, therefore, also relate to the formation, while constantly putting the Christian dimension that a young adult does.

Along with YFC, there are also other ministries :
- KFC (Kids For Christ)
- SFC (Singles For Christ)
- HOLD (Handmaids Of The Lord)
- CFC (Couples For Christ)

There are also charities that each ministry is very active in :

"GAWAD KALINGA" where YFC seeks to address human poverty that limits opportunities of the majority of our young people. Our means tie up with the bigger CFC Work with the Poor thrust that has established a program for street children (SAGIP), youth rehabilitation (SIGA), and shelter improvement (TATAG).

"LAYA" where YFC seeks to create greater consciousness among our young of the need to stop the growing culture of death that deprives them of a bright future. Laya is the young's advocacy campaign to preserve the world God has created, good and beautiful, for them to inherit and subdue.
