"...But Jesus said, let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 19: 14

    Because we know that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the youth as well, we the leaders of the Youth for Christ try not to hinder them in any way from getting there. From January to December we were all traveling that Highway to Heaven.
    In 2004, we went on retreats, to camps, amusement parks, and ministry events and more. We fellowshipped with new churches such as Siloam Presbyterian Church, First Presbyterian Church of Far Rockaway and Memorial Presbyterian Church, while we continued relationships with old friends like First Presbyterian Church of Jamaica and Dunton Presbyterian.
    The Gospel Soul Cafe was launched in July 2004. This was a vision of Minister Ford and the brainchild of Director Emery Jones. The Cafe brings youth and adults from the community together with congregants from churches that span from Apostolic to Baptist, with Presbyterians in the middle.
    In 2005, members of YFC will also be traveling to Italy to take part in a choir competition. We are looking forward to this wonderful opportunity to go overseas and minister the Word of God in song. To prepare for this momentous occasion we had a car wash, food sales and took up collections from the congregation.
    We believe the best is yet to come!
