Pray for TYC. Pray for its ministry to high school youth and college-age young adults and its role in the life of the Church. Pray for TYC’s volunteer leadership – that through their sacrifice and example, the youth of today will be mentored, equipped, and enabled to be the church leaders and parishioners God calls them to be. Pray for the participants – that they may grow in their faith and service to Jesus Christ and hold each other accountable as they live their lives as God’s chosen people, and as part of the TYC community.

Recruit. Reach out to the high school youth and college age young adults in your church and strike up a conversation with them. Talk to them about TYC and the amazing community of brothers and sisters in Christ they could (and should) be a part of. Take an interest in their lives and be real with them. Be a mentor to them. Talk to your Pastor or Director of Youth Ministries about TYC over a cup of coffee and develop a strategy for getting at least one youth to give TYC a try this year. Be instrumental in getting your church leadership to set aside funding to be used in sponsoring its youth once they register.

Stay in touch, and reach out to us (and others) for help as you go about doing the above. We are, after all, a TYC family, and families exist to love and support one another.
