Meet Charlie!! 🔊🆙

Meet Charlie, one of our amazing Christian Youth In Action (CYIA) teen missionaries serving with our Northern Counties Chapter!

Hear why she chose to spend part of her summer at CYIA, what God taught her throughout the week, and how she’s preparing to share the hope of Jesus with children through Summer Party Clubs.

We are so thankful for teens like Charlie who are saying “yes” to God’s call. Please join us in praying for her and all of our CYIA missionaries as they faithfully take the Gospel to children across Northern California this summer.

Look at this incredible setup!

We are so thankful for the creativity, dedication, and Gospel passion of our Northern Counties Chapter as they serve at the Shasta District Fair this week.

Please join us in praying for every conversation, every child, every family, and every opportunity to share the hope of Jesus Christ. May many hear the Gospel and respond to God’s invitation to know Him. 💛🖤❤️🤍💚

We are SOOOO excited to be out at the Shasta District Fair this week sharing the Gospel. Don't we look sharp?! We're so excited for our new Wordless Book pop-up tent! 💛🖤❤️🤍💚

Please join us in praying for the dozens (if not a couple hundred) souls who will step into our 10x10 space here to hear about Jesus. Pray for eternal transformation! Pray for people to turn back to the Lord! Pray that the Holy Spirit would help us as we give an answer for the hope that we have!

Our CYIAers had a great experience at Open Air evangelism today! They approached 256 people at the park. 63 of them were willing to hear the complete gospel, and 18 of them received Jesus as their Lord and Savior--in 2 short hours! Praise the Lord!! 🤯 Thank you to all who make CYIA a success!

What an EPIC week!!!! Our CYIA missionaries are now trained and equipped to share the Gospel all summer long🎉

Five days. Five speakers. One faithful God.

Last week at our CYIA Camp, our chapel speakers challenged our students to walk closely with God, trust Him fully, and live boldly for His glory.

Through every message, Scripture was opened, hearts were encouraged, and our young missionaries were reminded that the God who calls them is the God who goes with them.

To each of our guest speakers: "Thank You" for your time, your preparation, your prayers, and your obedience to serve. Your investment in these students is helping equip the next generation to take the Gospel to children throughout Northern California.

"We are grateful for you."

Our Photography Team has spent the week capturing more than just pictures—they've captured the story of God's work at CYIA Camp.

From training sessions and worship moments to friendships, laughter, and life-changing conversations, these faithful servants have worked behind the lens to preserve memories and help share the impact of this ministry with families, churches, and supporters across Northern California.

Thank you for your creativity, long hours, attention to detail, and servant hearts. Because of your dedication, we can celebrate and share the incredible ways God is moving in the lives of these young missionaries.


❤️ We are so grateful for our Photography Team!

Behind every lesson, worship session, chapel message, and training moment is a team faithfully serving behind the scenes.

This week at CYIA Camp, our Tech Team has worked tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly', from sound and slides to troubleshooting and supporting the countless details that help make ministry happen.

While most campers may never see all that they do, their faithful service has helped create an environment where students can focus on growing in their faith and preparing to share the Gospel with children across Northern California.

Thank you for your servant hearts, long hours, flexibility, and commitment to excellence. We are grateful for the many ways you have helped make CYIA Camp possible!

Please join us in thanking our incredible Tech Team for all they have done this week.

Today our CYIA students are learning how to put all the pieces together for effective children's ministry, from lessons and visual aids to counseling tools and outreach materials.

We're not just preparing them to teach, we're preparing them to share the Gospel with excellence, confidence, and a heart for children.

Please pray for these young missionaries as they get ready to impact communities across Northern California this summer!
