Emmanuel our God is with us.

“All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).” – Matthew 1:22-23

At this time of the year we look forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus. With a year like we have just had with the Covid-19 pandemic, it is so good to be able to redshift our focus onto the God who came to live amongst us as one of us – Jesus our Emmanuel.

Isn’t that so encouraging.

We serve and love and trust in a God who is not distant, but as it puts it in the Message translation of the Bible “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” – John 1:14

God moved into our neighbourhood to be with us. To dispel all the darkness in our hearts and lives and show us who He truly is.

Wow!

He wants to be with us. He loves us and is with us, always.

Even during the darkest days of this year God has been with us. Upholding us and guiding us and above all loving us.

This is good news. Such good news! And good news is all that Llandudno Youth for Christ is all about. This year we’ve spoken to many young people both face to face and online through Instagram, Facebook, Youtube and Zoom. We’ve used our resources well to see young people’s lives changed by Jesus, and we will continue to do so throughout December and the Advent season and well into the new year and beyond.

Please do continue to support us in the good work we are doing to share the good news of our Emmanuel – Jesus. Please be praying for us – praying that we’d have plenty of opportunities to share the gospel and disciple young people. Praying that we’d make the most of those opportunities. Praying that we’d continue to get guidance from our ever present God and Saviour.

Continue to support us financially. We can’t do this work without the faithful financial support of our amazing supporters. We love and appreciate you. Continue to support us by volunteering your gifts, abilities and time to the various projects that we run.

Thank you.

And please do remember again that Jesus is with you always wherever you go and whatever you are going through.

Be blessed!
