"This is our pivotal moment to serve the church"
This is our pivotal moment to serve the church by creatively re-imagining youth ministry yet again. I believe the cultural conditions are right for us to experience the greatest youth revival our generation has ever seen. God has given us the right team to do this—and His hand is clearly on our mission.
Ed Kaczmarek, Executive Director, YFC Sacramento
For Such a Time as This...
Schools want us, juvenile halls want us, communities want us... we simply need the people and resources to say "YES"!
Blair Maynard, Sayonara Staff
“God, please give me the right words to say right now!"
Michael shared his struggles. I asked him if he had been going to church and reading his Bible, and he said no. But now he expressed interest in going to church. Praise God!
For over 70 years, serving Sacramento area teens.
