We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your sup-port of Casper Youth for Christ (CYFC). Our Ministry Stats at CYFC, don’t just mean numbers, but it represents Christ-sharing relationships with the youth we serve. These are our August 2020 stats:
Lunch at the Link Outreach
The Lunch at the Link Outreach served 480 hot meals to youth. We also have youth attend our lunches, which are studying virtually. One youth is taking two to-go boxes to her parents. She has eight people in her household. We took her to Restoration Church to obtain a food box for her family.
Indoor Skateboard Outreach
Our indoor skateboard outreach had 128 youth in attendance in August. CYFC served all 128 youth hot meals, which included snacks.
Bouncy House
Our “Fun Day Friday” at the Link has been a great success. We did our last bouncy house outreach for the summer. There were 28 youth in attendance. The youth enjoyed hot dogs, ice cream, chips, lemon-ade, sidewalk chalk, and of course, the wa-ter balloon fights. During the fun activities, Carl House shared a Bible object lesson about Christ with the youth. The doors are still closed on seven of our outreach locations. We are praying and brainstorming creative ways to reach youth. Please keep this in your prayers. Be-cause of His Steadfast Love, Sharon Lockwood, E.D.
We want to
thank Alex
Rosales from
Taco Mexico
for coming to
the Link and
sharing his
testimony with
the Verge
youth. There were 13 youth in attendance. Alex’s home life was not the greatest, and he desired the
unity he saw in a friend’s family who prayed togeth-er. He purposed in his heart to model Christianity in
his own household when he became a father. Alex
shared how he started a business with only $1,000
borrowed from his brother; they worked together to
brainstorm ideas. Alex used his mother’s recipes for his restaurant. He shared with the youth to never
give up when things get difficult. Alex encouraged
youth to keep pressing forward with your goal and
choose your friends carefully because the wrong
friends could influence you toward failure.

I was at a local
hardware store the
other day and as I
was checking out,
a young lady be-
hind the counter
said, “Do you still do the Bible stud-
ies at Centennial
Middle school? Sadly, I had to say no be-
cause of the COVID 19 pandemic; we are
not allowed access to the school at this
time. This young girl is now a sophomore at
one of our local high schools. She attended
our Campus Life group when she was in 7th
and 8th grade. While we visited, she remi-
nisced about how she always remembered
a particular Bible study teaching called
“F.R.O.G.,” which means to “fully rely on God.” That day I passed out small plastic frogs for youth to keep in their locker to al-
ways remind them that whatever difficulty
they may face, they can always remember
to fully rely on God amid their trials and
hardships. "That simple Bible study impact-
ed her life. After several years, she still re-
membered that TRUTH because God's Word
never returns void. Even though the
schools aren't allowing extracurricular activ-
ity, we are still praying for these youth and
believe we will be back in
the schools soon. Please
keep our Campus Life
Outreaches in your pray-
ers. Carl House, Ministry
Director
Sky has attend-
ed our Lunch
at the Link Out-
reach for over
three years.
She was very
resistant to the
Gospel. Re-
cently, she shared with Hope that she was
having difficulty sleeping due to night-
mares. Hope asked her if she could pray
for her, and Sky said, "You know I don't
believe in God." Hope said, "Well, I'm go-
ing to pray for you anyway." Hope prayed
that the nightmares would stop. When Sky
came to lunch the next day, Hope asked
her how she slept. Sky told her she slept
very well. Hope let her know it was the
power of prayer. Since then, Sky has
opened up more. We were able to get her
connected to a job training program. She
has a passion for photography and wants
to get a Canon camera and eventually
start her own business. God wants Sky to
succeed in life, and we know with God, all
things are possible. Part of our goal is to
inspire youth toward fulfilling their God-
given destiny. Sky continues to eat lunch
at the Link daily, and we also helped her
family with groceries, thanks to local food
pantries. Generous individuals in our com-
munity are purchasing clothes for her for
employment and school. This is all done in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks
to partners like you who care about youth
in our community, CYFC continues to show
youth the way of the cross. Sharon L—E.D.

F.R.O.G.
During our
Lunch at the
Link Out-
reach, we en-
counter many
teens daily,
establishing
many relation-
ships. One of the teens that attends our
Lunch at the Link outreach everyday lives at
a shelter and is homeless. He is always tell-
ing us that he believes in satan and is not a
Christian. He said to me, "you can't make
me a Christian!" My response to him was, "I
am not trying to make you a Christian, and
by the way, God created Lucifer, who be-
came satan." God is the Creator of all
things. He even created you! I love these
encounters with the youth and the chal-
lenge of taking their unbelief and speaking
the love of God to them and speaking God's
word over them. Most of the youth we min-
ister to are unchurched and very guarded in
their hearts. Every day as we are serving
them, we know that we are giving them the
love of Jesus, and it changes their hearts
and minds to believe in a God who believes
in them. How wonderful and faithful God is,
and we pray that our prayer and vision will
always mirror this to the youth we serve.
Now when this teen comes in for lunch, he
will always say to us, so did you pray for me,
and of course, we say YES. Thank you for
being a part of reaching youth who need to
know our faithful God! Hope H, Chpt. Mgr.
