And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himselfwith the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

They said that it had been tried before and failed. Later on,they said it would not last. Youth For Christ International is celebrating its 15th year of miracles. A miracle is an event or action that apparently contradicts known scientific laws ancl is hence thought to be due to supernatural cayses or an act of God. This explains Youth For Christ. When you witness the changed life of a teenager who has found Christ in a YFC meetingg when you see some of the tremendous victories of the pastg when you see the vision of the future, you will agree that Youth For Christ is a miracle and that this is MIRACLE YEAR.
