Recently we’ve been
talking about “Faithful Friends” of Youth for Christ/Western Illinois. These
are friends who regularly give at least $25 per month to the ministry of YFC.
To operate within our
budget, it takes 300 faithful friends giving $25 or more each month. During the
typical month an average of 236 Faithful Friends give to the ministry of Youth
for Christ/Western Illinois. That means
each month we experience a shortfall.
During our recent
fundraising banquet we saw the equivalent of ten more Faithful Friends step
forward with pledges of monthly support (a pledge of $50 per month is the
equivalent of two “Faithful Friends”). Of course, the one-time gifts helped
tremendously, as well. Still, we need 54 more Faithful Friends to meet our
budget goals.
This is a time of great
potential for our ministry. We’re working with increased numbers of students
who are hungry for God. We have leaders
passionate for Christ, willing to do the work; but without faithful monthly
support, our plans are limited. In good stewardship we can only plan with money
that has been pledged.
Can you join our Three
Hundred Faithful Friends? We need just 54 more Friends at $25 per month, or 27
more Faithful Friends at $50 per month. That would meet the needs of our
current budget, and enable us to operate responsibly as we in turn meet the
needs of our teens. Why not take a moment to ask God if you would be one of our
Three Hundred Faithful Friends? Then let us know you’ve pledged to stand with
the teens of Youth for Christ/Western Illinois.
If you’ve pledged, send
us an email at yfc@macomb.com . Or you
