CFC-YFC YCOM: How can they hear if the message is not proclaimed? Rom.10:14
This is the official communication arm of YFC and its tasked to assist the YFC Ministry in doing the evangelization in a more creative manner. Youth for Christ is guided by the elements of 4Fโs: Fun, Friendship, Faith, Freedom
FUN: Being young means having fun. YFC promotes and supports the dynamism of the youthโs thirst to enjoy life by empowering them to live it to the fullest. YFC encourages funโgood, clean fun. FRIENDSHIP: This is the time of their lives when the youth begin to form lasting relationships with their peers. YFC encourages friendship among young people, enabling them to see God in each and every individual they encounter. The community allows the youth to experience new things, to learn, and to grow with friends. FREEDOM: One can barely contain the enthusiasm of a spirit. Within YFC, the youth experience freedom from sins, from insecurities, and from difficulties in the past, as well as the freedom to express love and to become the individuals whom God meant them to be. FAITH: None of the three can be fully experienced without faith in God. In YFC, the youth are taught the Catholic faith that they may better appreciate the abundant blessings they receive in their lives. The 7 YFC IDโs
Our YFC Identity is our oneness and commonness as brothers and sisters in YFC. Yet each of us has our own uniqueness which also emanates from God as individuals and as one body anchored on the image and likeness of God. Here in YFC, our ultimate goal is to bring the youth to Christ. We believe that our true and ultimate destiny is that we are sons and daughters of God. Our identity is the result of our innate and core values that we in YFC want to live by. Being a YFC is not just our spiritual identity, rather, the 7 IDโs are the fullness of who we are and what we can become as a true youth FOR CHRIST.
