• YCFC End-of-Year Update

    December 7, 2021 /

    As a ministry, we praise God for every opportunity to serve summer campers and retreat guests. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a reminder of how truly grateful we are for each of you.

Thank you for persevering through some crazy months and working so hard to make this camp week possible. We are grateful for you all!” “This camp has always surpassed my expectations as a parent.

    A Word from our Executive Director A painted ceramic tile made by our son, Thad, when he was in the 3rd grade has become the centerpiece of the fall decorations in our home. Thad is now 14 years old and in the 8th grade, but his tile (pictured) is a timeless treasure to us.

She knew God had the power to make her dream come true, but He chose not to do so. Could she continue to trust Him with the rest of her life? Using the lessons she learned during her seven years of competition, Heather now encourages women and their daughters to…
