Interview with Redefiner, Kelly!

What was the first LLYFC event you came to?

I came to Reverb after school coming up to 3 years ago.

How did you hear about it?

All of my friends from school had been going to Reverb. So I thought I’d go and see what it was like.

How did it affect you?

Well, I already knew some of the Christians that went to Reverb and talking to them about even everyday things made me realise that I wanted to change things about myself. I started to change almost without noticing and after about a year I didn’t fit in with my old friends anymore. But I had friends that were more like me. I think (and hope others agree!) I have become a better person.

What do you like about the work of LLYFC?

I like that there are different types of events run by LLYFC. There’s Reverb café which is really relaxed and open. I never felt intimidated to be in a room full of Christians, even when I wasn’t a Christian myself. Redefine is amazing, it brings the youth of different churches in the area together. It makes the existing Christians feel like they’re not alone. I love everyone in Redefine, it really is my second family.

How has the ministry of LLYFC helped you in your relationship with God?

Having grown up not sure about God, going to YFC events really helped me inquire into faith in an open way. I’m very grateful for all of the volunteers for answering all of my questions. This among other things led me to Christ.

What would you say to anyone reading this?

I would say, never be afraid to inquire about faith. It’s a big deal and you can’t progress on your own. That’s for both Christians and non-Christians. Thanks!
