A historic Christian organisation has announced the opening of its 70th local centre.

Youth for Christ (YFC) – celebrating its 65th year anniversary this year – opened the North Breckland centre in Dereham.

The news is part of YFC's vision to see a million youngsters impacted by the Gospel each month by 2020. If achieved, this would mean YFC is reaching 15 per cent of Britain’s teens.

Currently, YFC is reaching 250,000 people per month through its various outreaches and centres, including drop-in youth clubs, school lessons and assemblies, mentoring sessions, social action projects, missions and detached youthwork on the streets.

YFC National Director Gavin Calver said: “I am absolutely thrilled that 70 different areas of across Britain are being impacted by our work in this way. It is brilliant that we have reached this milestone but this is just the beginning.

“We hope to soon be talking about hundreds of new communities where Youth for Christ brings the church together to reach young people for Jesus.

“With fresh expressions of YFC local ministries being birthed in new areas and people energised about seeing their local young people hear about and respond to Jesus, this truly is an exciting, breakthrough time for YFC.

“The task is large, the vision audacious and much is yet to be done, but as Ephesians 3:20 says, God is 'able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us'."
