YFC visits the Farmington Children's Home each week. This is a time to connect trained adults with young people to help them make good choices and establish a solid foundation in life. Like every ministry of YFC, we seek to engage these young people wherever they are found as life-long followers of Jesus Christ. It is estimated that 25% of our young people today are deemed "at-risk youth," according to the National Research Council Panel on High-Risk Youth (1995). The National Youth Guidance Department has defined an at-risk young person as a young person who has experienced significant damage and is likely to damage the lives of others. A "significantly damaged life" is defined as the presence of negative influences (or the absence of positive influences) that increase the likelihood of destructive life choices.
Youth for Christ visits the Farmington Children’s Home every week with a program that allows 10-20 kids to study and discuss God’s Word together. Today’s society might label them as “troubled” but it’s for them that Christ came.
Current meetings are every Monday from 3.15-4.30.
