One of the joys of work-

ing at Casper Youth for

Christ is meeting so many

wonderful committed

Christians who have a

passion to share the Gos-

pel. In

I Corinthians 10:16-17,

Paul presented the hu-

man body as an illustra-

tion of the interrelation-

ship of the members of

Christ's body, the church.

The body is a remarkable

biological creation in

God’s whole created or-

der. The diversity in the

body of Christ is neces-

sary and marvelous as are the various

parts in the human body. For the body of

Christ to function successfully, CYFC

recognizes the need to utilize the whole

body of Christ as the human body is im-

measurably more than the sum of its

parts. As scripture states, “How good

and how pleasant it is when brethren

dwell together in unity…..It is like oil

flowing from Aaron’s beard, there the

Lord commands a blessing.”Psalm 133:1

-3 We are excited about promoting a

greater networking with ministries such

as CEF, True Care and those from vari-

ous local churches in our community.

Working together in unity promotes

greater effectiveness in Christ!

Sharon Lockwood, Executive Director

When I was asked to be on the

Board of Directors, I was excited to be of

service. When I first visited CYFC and

toured the Link, I didn’t re-

alize it existed. I was

amazed as to how many

youth were coming to the

Link to eat. I sensed God

was really working to meet

these youth right where

they were. I realized then that God called

me to be involved with Casper Youth for

Christ. Also, seeing the lunches go from 3

to 5 days per week was very exciting be-

cause it shows that CYFC is building mo-

mentum in reaching young people for

Christ. Being a part of the body of Christ

and what He is doing in our community

humbles me and makes me so grateful.

I met Sharon and Hope and they

prayed for me. The prayers were impactful

and very helpful. It helped identify areas

in my life to which I needed to attend. It

brought things to the surface that were

buried. The ministry of CYFC is changing

lives. Chris Culver, CYFC Board Member

Our outreach with CEF

went well. We were able

to set up at a local low-

income housing apart-

ment complex. Casper

Youth for Christ provided

the hot dogs for this

amazing CEF outreach.

We are truly blessed to

partner with such a won-

derful Christ-centered

organization. We both

have the goal of reach-

ing individuals with the

love and saving power of

Jesus Christ! Thank you

CEF for all you do in the

community. We are ex-

cited about our partner-

ship and future out-

reaches together!

I have a very special story to share about the importance of sow-ing the Gospel. Over 20 years ago, I used to go door to door at CY Apart-ment complex. I met an 11-year-old gal named April. I took her and other youth to church and to a Christian “Carman” con-cert. April con-tacted me 20 years later and let me know she had accepted Je-sus Christ into her heart. She never forgot the prayers or the time we spent with her. Also, I recently ran into several of the other youth and their moth-er. They shared they were also very thankful for the time we spent with them, and Jesus now plays a big role in their lives. We never know how much of an impression we can make in the lives of youth. April and I keep in touch and she has come to the Link often for prayer. Sharon Lock-wood

Casper Youth for Christ exists to help

youth fulfill their destinies. We

have met a very precious young

man who knows where God has

called him to serve. This is

Caleb Sterkel. He will leave for

training with Youth With A

Mission (YWAM) in Septem-

ber. After 3 months of train-

ing, he will leave for overseas to

preach the Gospel in the most

dangerous, needed areas.

It was a very

fruitful night at

JDC. We had 15

total—5 female and

10 male.

I was asked

how I came to

Christ so I gave

them the whole

story—every last

detail of who I was and how Christ

changed me. At the end of my talk, it

was 7 p.m. and I offered to pray for

them. Nine kids wanted personal

prayer.

Once all that was done around

8 p.m. I started for the door. One of

the guards stopped me. He wanted to

ask me some questions. We spent a bit

talking about what it means to be born

again. He accepted Christ with a sim-

ple prayer, and I pray that we all be-

come aware that there are more than

just the kids listening when we are

speaking. Bert Eldredge, JDC Volunteer

Thank you to all of our prayer

and financial supporters who make it

possible to take the gospel to the youth

of our city.

The main pur-pose of Youth for Christ is to bring youth to the saving

knowledge of Christ. This week we will be partnering with Child Evangelism do-ing a 5-day club at Riverview Park. We will be cooking hot dogs and sharing the gospel of Christ. We must never give up on reaching the youth of our city, so eve-ry week until school starts we will be in a different part of the city of Casper reach-ing youth with the gospel of Christ. If you would like to be involved in our out-reaches, you can call us at 235-6650. We now have an archery class every Monday from 9:30 a.m. to noon. It is for ages 10 to adult. This is a free class and Casper Creek Archery will be sponsoring it here at the Link. All the bows and arrows will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. Also, our leadership class for youth is held every Wednesday here at the Link from 3:30 p.m.to 5 p.m. We have a lot of fun at this leadership class.

Carl House, Ministry Director
