What does it take to make a difference? Sometimes it starts with a simple hello. Taking time to listen. Remembering a name. Asking another question. Showing up again. Ministry isn't always flashy. Often, it's the faithful, everyday work of building trust and walking alongside lost young people. And through those relationships, doors open to conversations about Jesus.

We're grateful for every staff member, volunteer, prayer warrior, and giving partner who makes this work possible. Wish we could post them all! They make ministry possible. Thank you for helping us to be there... Right Here. Right Now.

Behind every number is a name. We can talk about ministry numbers, program growth, and future goals. But at the heart of it all is one lost young person. One name someone remembers. One story someone takes time to hear. One relationship that grows because a caring adult keeps showing up.

We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to be known, to experience the love of Jesus, and to discover the purpose God has for their life. That's why we're here. Right Here. Right Now.

You don’t have to be a youth worker to impact young people.

You can pray. Volunteer. Encourage a staff member. Give. Become a monthly partner.

There are so many ways to say YES to what God is doing in the lives of lost young people, and every YES matters.

From fun and friendship at a local center dance to conversations that change lives, your partnership makes ministry possible Right Here. Right Now.

🙌 How will YOU say yes?

A school hallway. A lunchroom. A conversation. A familiar face. A caring adult who knows a young person's name. THIS is where ministry can happen.

RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW.

Join us in prayer this week for our students, both those we know and those we don't yet know. For our staff and volunteers. For our mission to reach lost young people in your community. Join us!

☕ Right Here. Right Now.

Sometimes meaningful ministry looks like a cup of coffee, an open Bible, and a conversation that goes a little deeper. Every Monday morning, our leaders in West Chicago gather with a small group to study God’s Word, ask questions, grow in faith, and encourage one another to keep following Jesus.

Because ministry isn’t just about showing up. It’s about building relationships, growing together, and making space for God to work in our lives. This is what "Right Here Right Now" looks like.

Will you partner with us to make more moments like these possible? Pray for our leaders and the young people they serve. When you give, your generosity helps create spaces where young people can be known, encouraged, and introduced to the life-changing love of Jesus.

Together, we can keep showing up for young people: RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW.

A conversation. A shared laugh. A safe place to belong. Someone who cares enough to show up and point a young person toward Jesus.

Sometimes, the moments that matter most seem small, but God can use them to change a life. Your generosity helps create these moments every day. You help put caring adults in the lives of young people, create spaces where real relationships grow, and open doors for the Gospel to be shared.

Will you be part of what God is doing in the lives of lost young people- right here, right now?

Your gift makes ministry possible, and every gift is an opportunity to make a difference.

Give today. Help us reach the next young person who needs to know they are loved. 👉 www.yfcchicago.org/give

🚗 Looking for a new car? Know someone who is?

We have a special opportunity to help support us just by buying a car!

This month, if you buy a car from Blake from Dave Taylor Michigan City Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram, it'll help us! For every vehicle Blake sells where the customer says "YFC" to Blake, we receive $100! 🎉

The goal is 10 cars—but the sky is the limit! 🙌

So, if you’re in the market for a new vehicle, or know someone who is, send them to Blake at Dave Taylor in Michigan City and tell them to say "YFC sent me!"

🚙 Buy a car.
❤️ Support the mission.
🙌 Help us reach more young people with the love of Jesus.

Know someone shopping for a car? Tag them or send them this post!

⏱️Young people are right here, and right now matters in their lives.

Ephesians 5:15–16 calls us to “make the most of every opportunity.”
We believe one of those opportunities is right in front of us: to meet lost young people where they are, build authentic relationships, walk alongside them, and introduce them to Jesus.

We're getting ready to close 2026 with great opportunities to join us in sustaining this ministry. Because the young people are RIGHT HERE and the opportunity is now. Will you pray with us about these opportunities and what God will do?

Our newest staff introductions are Chris and Julie! They will both serve as Directors in our City Life ASPIRE Mentoring program. Chris and Julie will help coordinate mentors and mentees in Kankakee. The Aspire program encourages students, walks alongside them, helps them navigate challenges, and points them toward the hope found in Jesus.

We’re grateful for Chris and Julie and the heart they’re bringing to this ministry. Would you pray for Chris and Julie, the City Life staff and volunteers, and the relationships they’ll build with students, families, and community partners?

God is growing something meaningful, and we’re excited to be part of it!

Our second new staff introduction is Quinton! We’re excited to welcome him as he serves as the Clifton Nash Campus Life Director in Iroquois County!

Campus Life is about meeting lost young people where they already are- schools, activities, games, lunchrooms, community events, clubs, and building genuine relationships with them. Quinton is stepping into this ministry with a heart to connect with students, build relationships, serve the community, and create opportunities for young people to encounter Jesus' love.

We’re excited for what’s ahead in Iroquois County Campus Life! Help us give Quinton a warm welcome and, most importantly, join us in praying for Quinton, the Iroquois team, and the students they’ll connect with along the way.

New staff. New relationships. New opportunities for God to move.
