Thank You!
Your financial contributions, encouragement and prayers this year have truly been a gift
and have meant so much!!! Thanks to your financial gifts, the 30% or ~$8,000 that I
needed to raise came in! THANK YOU!!! It’s been a real honor to have you partnering
along side myself and others in this ministry! I really hope that you will continue to part-
ner with us in the year ahead! I have a feeling that 2011 is going to be AMAZING! I really
believe that God is going to do some very unexpected things that are going to blow our
minds! :)
I’ve loved getting the notes that some of you have sent me with your financial contribu-
tions! If you have any prayer requests, send them to me! I take extra time every Saturday
morning to pray for my supporters individually and it’s great if I have specific requests. :)
I praise God for every single one of you!! Thanks & have a GREAT Christmas! :)

What’s Happening At YFC Friend2Friend Prayer Groups.

Wow, there is so many exciting things hap-
pening at YFC right now, I don’t know where
to start! In a week Erick and I will be flying to
Denver, CO for a week to attend YFC Insti-
tute. It’s like taking a class condensed into a
week about the background, principles, and
mission of YFC as a whole. So far each train-
ing piece that YFC has required for us to par-
ticipate in has been extremely informative
and helpful! I’m excited for Denver!
Campus Life Groups.
Campus life is YFC’s biggest ministry. In a
nutshell, it’s like a church youth group with-
out the church. Teens meet weekly and play
lots of games, hear a short teaching from
the Bible, eat snacks, listen to music and play
more games. We are shooting to start Cam-
pus Life in Virginia in early spring.
Heart2Heart Groups.
Our girls ministry groups are going to be
very similar to Campus Life, except with a
little more time to chat and do “girl
things.” :) We’re planning on launching H2H
groups in February.
Our F2F groups are starting now. We’ve had
one group faithfully meeting every week
since the start of the school year. That group
was praying for a girl who just surrendered
her life to Christ a couple weeks ago!! Praise
God!! YFC USA really liked an idea of ours to
post F2F stories on a blog on their new web-
site and they asked us to submit the first
blog story. Visit yfc.net/friend2friend to read
our first God story! :)
Virginia Teen Center.
YFC in Virginia also runs the City’s teen cen-
ter. We are really pumped because we’ve
been allocated a nice sum of money by the
City of Virginia to update the entire Teen
Center! Also, a design team from Duluth has
agreed to help with the project and provide
facelift ideas for free!
Exciting things are happening! :)
