Youth for Christ Mauritius is the local branch of a Worldwide Inter-denominational Association ‘Youth Dhiraj Neerburn. It can accommodate up to 150 persons.

Youth for Christ Mauritius is an official Chartered Member Nation within Youth For Christ International, Denver, Colorado, USA. It is officially registered to the Registrar of Associations – 9 June 1980 - No. 1615 and recognised as a local NGO to MACOSS - Mauritius Council of Social Service – June 2002. Youth for Christ Mauritius is fully engaged since 1980 into the development and empowerment of young people using effective tools and activities to equip them. YFC is highly involved in social activities and reaches young people in ways that are relevant to them in the context of their culture and life circumstances. YFC owns a plot of land of 500 toises at Castel with a resource centre and sport facilities. The organisation’s various activities are coupled with social outreach and ministries, which bear testimony to our willingness to give the opportunity to the unprivileged to climb the rungs of the social ladder. The Centre provides regular activities after its renovation to a multipurpose facility, inaugurated on 18 July 2004 by the Mayor of the town of Vacoas-Phoenix, Mr. It is noteworthy that YFC Mauritius has been able to secure funds for the fencing of a Basketball court to reach underprivileged kids of the surroundings. This Sport Basketball Court was inaugurated on 22 April 2012. The aim of this sport facility is to welcome teams from different ‘Cités’ (La Brasserie, Joachim, Mangalkhan and L’Oiseau) and from Allée Brillant’s surroundings in the region, and train young people in sports activities to use this as a deterrent to procrastination, misconducts and social scourges such as drugs, alcohol and tobacco. An Adventure Park in the backyard of the centre is operational. In addition Discipleship, Leadership and training programmes to the Board and young people are regularly organized. Youth Development, Classical music and Counselling also ensured. Our goals mainly focus on:
-Uplifting of young lives that are in distress
-Empowering young people and encouraging them to live a balanced spiritual life, with a responsible attitude towards family and community.
-Developing youths’ commitment to social involvement.
-Upbringing youths impacting society

The interdenominational approach and vision make Youth For Christ unique and is still empowering numerous young Mauritians of different background, faith and social strata on the island.

Legendary hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg reflected on his spiritual journey from gangsta rap stardom to born-again faith, expressing that he would rather have Jesus than any amount of silver or gold.

In a music industry built on the glorification of material wealth, power, and hedonism, seeing a culturally defining artist pivot toward spiritual truth confronts secular priorities at their core. For decades, popular culture has sold the lie that earthly status, luxury, and fame represent the ultimate heights of human achievement, luring millions into chasing fleeting treasures that never satisfy.

Scripture directly contrasts the wisdom of God with worldly wealth, reminding believers in Proverbs 16:16, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!" Earthly possessions, no matter how vast, fade away, whereas the salvation offered through Christ carries eternal value that no fortune can buy.

When cultural figures with massive reach proclaim the superiority of Christ over worldly riches, it challenges the idols of modern entertainment. A bold public declaration prioritizing faith over wealth serves as a powerful reminder that true redemption is available to anyone, and that the grace of Jesus Christ far outweighs everything the world has to offer.

What if everything you have is an opportunity to make a difference?

A steward doesn’t ask, “How much can I keep?” A steward asks, “How can I best use what I’ve been given?”

Your time. Your gifts. Your resources. Your influence.

They’re not just yours to hold onto—they’re opportunities to serve God and bless others.

Stewardship isn’t about having more. It’s about being faithful with what you have.

ST-MALO : PARI REUSSI POUR LA JOURNEE ‘FUN GAMES’ DE YFC

Le mardi 15 septembre (jour férié), une journée ludique a été organisée à St-Malo, Baie du Tombeau, rassemblant une centaine d’enfants encadrés par 20 volontaires de YFC Mauritius. Cet événement en plein air, très attendu par les habitants du quartier résidentiel, a pu se tenir grâce à Sœur Florise, qui y réside, et qui nous a aidés à obtenir les autorisations nécessaires.

Jeux variés et ambiance joyeuse, très appréciés des enfants comme des parents. En fin de journée, des rafraîchissements et des gâteaux ont été distribués, ainsi qu’une paire de chaussures de plage à tous ceux qui ont pu trouver leur pointure.

Monique a partagé un bref message biblique sur la création, la désobéissance et le sacrifice de Jésus à la croix, illustré par un fil coupé puis restauré, qui a émerveillé les enfants.
