We go through changes of season from spring , summer to autumn giving the land preparation time for winter, then it returns into new life and growth.
In 2011 the foundations of Wiltshire Youth for Christ were sown with the support of Bath YFC . We knew that to go into a new season, new challenges and opportunities , the people of Wiltshire needed to stand alongside the charity, supporting the work in the area in various ways. After prayer and discussion between Bath Youth for Christ Trustees and our Wiltshire staff, the decision was taken to work towards Wiltshire Youth for Christ becoming an independent centre and registered charity by January 2021. We have been looking to establish a board of Trustees for this new charity and increase support for the centre’s work. This could be a little uncomfortable for some. However, we believe there are times when God wants to make us uncomfortable to develop our faith and see God work beyond our expectations.
Jesus always empowered others, believing in their true potential. He wanted the disciples to grasp what it meant to truly trust Him in all situations. In Matthew 8: 23 – 27 Jesus teaches the disciples about keeping their faith strong in times of storms. Although the boat rocked, and it was really scary everyone made it out alive and had a deeper understanding of the meaning of faith.
During 2020/21 we are reminded that we may not all be in the same boat but we are in the same storm. We at Wiltshire YFC have a heart to see every teenager be supported and encouraged in faith, hope and love.
God has so many plans for Wiltshire Youth for Christ to flourish and grow, Steve, Dan and the wider team have the skills and experience to take the charity forward into its next exciting phase. Please do pray for Wiltshire Youth for Christ in this transition period, especially for the support of local people.
We believe in unity and partnership in order to make this process a reality. We appreciate and truly thank those individuals and Churches who give financially as well as supporting the work through volunteering and praying. We are also interested in partnering with Churches and other organisations so that we can see the lives of more young people changed by Jesus.
If you are interested in helping in anyway, then please contact steve@wiltshireyfc.org.uk
