Jamaica YFC has several Ministries that you can become involved
with.
DJ Mission
This is the Evangelistic arm of the JYFC. Six missions are planned
each year around Jamaica. This is a very organised team of
individuals who meet regularly and work along with Ministers'
Fraternities to make the evangelistic Thrust a success.
Counseling Centre
This centre is run in association with the colleges and universites
around Kingston. Many children are helped each year as the centre
provides for them mentorship, counselling, and guidance. Parenting
seminars along with camps and city trips are a part of its regular
activities.
Restorative Justice Programme
We work along with the Probation office and the courts to take
young men and mentor them rather than have them go through the
prison system.
Schools Ministry
This Ministry is two fold. We run a Character club in schools which
assist the guidance counsellors through its work with children that
are in need of behavioural modification. The ministry of education
has sanctioned the manual which we produced in association with
UNICEF. Secondly we do school devotions and school tours. These
exercises will se us sharing the word with students and then giving
them entertainment through the channels of a DJ or an artiste.
Choir
We have a youth choir which has about 25 young people. They sing at
functions to represent Youth for Christ and at JYFC events. If you
have other talents which include but are not limited to Miming,
dancing, choral speaking, singing and sign language, please feel
free to make them available to the ministry of JYFC.
Discipleship Ministry
We believe that everyone who comes to know Jesus Christ as Lord and
saviour should be discipled. They should be taught the word of God
and given an opportunity to know what they believe and why.
Therefore we work along with churches to train their youth groups
or evangelism departments in discipling the new converts that get
saved in our collaborative efforts. JYFC is not a church and
therefore surrenders all new converts to the churches.
Missions
JYFC has several missionary trips each year. We have trips that
come into Jamaica and we ave several that are planned to depart
from Jamaica. You can be a part of our missions in 2010 to the
Bahamas, Haiti, and Serbia. We have had talk with Cuba and Cayman
to assist them, but those discussions are still taking place.
Serbia's trip will be a sports missions trip in the summer. We will
need basketballers for a basketball tournament.
