Taunton Youth For Christ - Update October 2024
We're about seeing young people's lives changed by Jesus.
Updates
Safeguarding and Youth Culture Training Update
It's that time of year again for our Annual Safeguarding and Youth Culture training update. This is an annual training that TYFC delivers to all Churches and Ministries who interact with young people.
We are hosting the next training day on Saturday 18th January. Please scan the QR code below to book your ticket or send Kelly an email. There are limited spaces available.
All to Worship Event
A huge thank you to the team from St Cleers Chapel who hosted a 12 hour 'All to worship' event this month, dedicated to a prayer focus on young people. A huge thank you to all those who made this day possible and for the incredible youth band from Martock, who led us in worship. All funds raised were given to Taunton Youth for Christ. Thank you for your faithfulness and commitment to seeing the lost come to know Jesus.

Prayer Points
Halloween Prayer Cover
Please pray for us tomorrow evening as we head out on Outreach in the Halcon area. Halloween is an incredibly spiritually dark evening and we usually feel the implications of being a light in that darkness

Outreach
Please continue to pray for our Outreach work. We have definitely been in a season of change and we have shifted our locations and work slightly. We have also incorporated walking the streets again as we felt the Lord calling us to re-launch the nets to gather young people we haven't connect with yet. Please pray as we look to develop relationships in new locations.
Youth Hub finance
Please pray with us as we look at funding this vision. At this present time, the space is not usable and needs work doing before we can start to create a home. We will be looking for grants to support this but please share this with anyone you feel would like to partner with us in this vision.
Shared Youth Worker Post
Please pray as we seek to appoint a full-time shared youth worker to join our team

As ever, our continued thank you to all of our Trustees and Volunteers who faithfully serve. They give of themselves time and time again and we couldn't do this work without them.

We pray the Lord would bless you for your faithful commitment to us.

A continued thank you to all that continue to partner with us in prayer. Your prayers and time are invaluable to the work that we do. Please do email Kelly any thoughts, verses or anything prophetic that you receive whilst praying.
