Ever wonder what a day in the life of a Juvenile Justice Ministry Director looks like? 👀

We can’t exactly bring a camera inside the facility… so you’ll have to use your imagination... 😂

One of the ways we invest in the growth of our staff and volunteers is through our annual Ministry Leaders Conference! 🙌

We’re especially grateful for the volunteers who set aside their time to come, learn, grow, and be equipped to better serve our students. Your willingness to invest in yourself is an investment in the lives of the students you serve!

A couple of weeks ago, all of our ministry sites came together for a day of kayaking at Weller Farms/Auglaize Canoe & Kayak! 🛶☀️

It was a beautiful day filled with laughter and plenty of time to connect with our students. We’re grateful for opportunities like these to build relationships and make memories together!

Thank you Paulding Putnam for helping our local students attends our YFC's Boundary Waters trip.

Defiance Area Youth for Christ received $1,000 to support the annual trip to Boundary Waters, Minnesota.

Another Boundary Waters trip in the books! For six days, these students spent time with their leaders in northern Minnesota.

Over the course of the trip, they paddled around 28 miles through the beautiful Boundary Waters, carrying canoes and gear over portages, setting up camp each night, cooking over the fire, and experiencing God's creation in a powerful way.

Though the miles were long, so were the conversations. Lifelong memories were made, friendships were strengthened, and we saw students grow in perseverance, teamwork, and faith.

We're so thankful for the leaders who invested their time and energy into this adventure and for everyone who helped make this trip possible.
