When Was YFC(Youth for Christ) started?

Answer 1

Youth for Christ is an international Christian ministry program that promotes youth evangelism and biblical Christianity.

In the early 1940s, during World War II, many young men, mostly ministers and evangelists, were holding large rallies in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. In an effort to coordinate these programs Youth for Christ was founded in 1944. The organization was cofounded by the Rev. Billy Graham and then-evangelist Charles Templeton. Graham was YFC's first full-time staff member. At its inception the president was Chicago pastor Torrey Johnson.

This great movement also eventually gave birth or helped to birth several other ministries: World Vision, Gospel Films, and - of course - the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Youth for Christ (YFC) follows the motto of "Geared to the times, anchored to the Rock" in an attempt to help equip young people to minister to each other. Over the years Youth for Christ has had many types of programs such as; youth rallies, Bible Clubs, teen to teen evangelism, campus ministries and urban ministries. YFC is in over 100 countries.

In 1978, YFC founded the Flevo Festival, a yearly Christian music festival that currently draws about 10,000 participants.

Answer 2

For sixty years, Youth for Christ (YFC) has been communicating the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to young people. YFC was born in the mid-1940s through an impulse from the heart of God that simultaneously touched dozens of leaders in different places with a concern to reach out to the young people normal church channels were missing. This led to dynamic young evangelists, using revolutionary methods, to conduct lively mass rallies in more than a dozen cities under the name of Youth for Christ. It soon became an organization and Chicago pastor Torrey Johnson was elected its first president, with Billy Graham as YFC's first full-time worker.

By the 1950s, YFC had become an international movement and in 1968 delegates from 16 nations formed what we now call Youth for Christ International. The number of chartered nations has since grown from 16 to 79. Throughout this half century, YFC's earliest and most enduring motto has been "Geared to the times, but anchored to the Rock." Under the leadership of its newest president, David Wraight, Youth for Christ has remained "anchored to the Rock," remaining rooted in a strong, Biblical faith, while very much "geared to the times." Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in its over 4,500 full and part-time staff and over 26,000 volunteers and using contemporary methods to remain on the cutting edge of youth evangelism, YFC is aggressively extending the frontiers of the Gospel into the 21st century youth cultures of over 100 countries.
