Hello everyone. Todd Warden-Owen here, the administrator at Llandudno Youth for Christ.

This will be my last Blog post for Llandudno Youth for Christ I’m sad to say. This is also going to be my last day working for Llandudno Youth for Christ. On Monday 1st March I start a new job with a soap manufacturing company.

I am sad to leave and I have so many fond memories to take with me of my time working for Llandudno Youth for Christ, but I trust that this is the next step for me in God’s plan for my life.

I’ve had so many amazing experiences and times working here. It’s been great being part of a family that really cares for each other and the young people that they serve. A family that wants to see young people reached with the life changing message of the gospel.

I’ve taken part in ridiculous games. I’ve acted in wacky versions of the Nativity story. I cooked food for many young people. Helped set up events that have changed young people’s lives as they’ve engaged with God. Helped out in school lunch time clubs and after-school drop in youth clubs. I’ve taught from the Bible during our Sunday night Bible Study group and led worship at various different events. It truly has been a blast and a privilege to serve God in such an amazing ministry that is continually looking for new ways to share the good news of Jesus with you people relevantly in Llandudno and beyond.

Talking of the good news, recently God has really been highlighting the following verse from the Bible to me, “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27. God has been teaching me that He is so close that in fact He is in me. The same goes for you. As a believer, Christ is in you. You are never alone. You are never forsaken. He is with you and He is in you.

Wow!

That is so encouraging. The gospel is really good news, and it’s great to know that long after I’m gone, the work of Llandudno Youth for Christ will carry on and they’ll see many more young lives changed by Jesus.

This work is so worthwhile, please do be praying for it and supporting it financially, for it really does make a difference to so many young people.

Thank you for listening and supporting us. Ciao for now and be blessed!

 

Den Fest!

This coming Sunday 14th to Tuesday 16th February we are holding a fantastic event for the young people that come to our Redefine Sunday evening Bible Study. It’s called ‘Den Fest’ and is going to be a lot of fun.

The premise is that the young people build a ‘den’ somewhere in their houses and then from said den they take part in different socially distanced online activities. We’re going to be watching a movie together, having an epic quiz about hedgehogs, learning  how to make a gorgeous oatmeal together, and having a storytelling session with special guest ‘Gandalf’ of the Lord of the Rings fame. It is going to be a blast.

Please do pray for us at this time, that the young people will have a great time together via the wonders of technology. That all of the tech aspects that are needed for this to work, would indeed work, and pray that through all the fun and laughter and fellowship the young people would meet with Jesus and experience the more abundant life that He promised to bring us.

Also be praying for the young people at this time when normally they’d be on half-term and spending quality time with friends and family, but due to the lock-down they are unable to do so. Pray that God would continue to encourage, strengthen and uphold them through this time and that they’d come out of it stronger and more in love with Jesus.

Thank you for all your continued support for the work that we are doing to share the good news of Jesus with young people in Llandudno and beyond. We really appreciate it.

Have a great week-end and be blessed!
