Why We Need Your Support

We are currently serving students at pivotal moments in their lives—times when depression, anxiety, and loneliness are at all-time highs. These are the moments when YFC El Paso steps in to offer hope, community, and the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. However, we are 100% donor-funded and our resources are stretched thin.

To continue this crucial work and expand our reach, we need your help. We are praying and working toward expanding our presence in school districsts with 6 additional schools currently waiting for clubs, alternative schools and programs across the city. With more staff and resources, we can reach even more students who desperately need hope and guidance.

Our Ministries

Campus Life One of our most impactful ministries is Campus Life, which focuses on reaching unchurched youth by going directly into the schools. Our team invites students to join lunch clubs where we share the message of Christ through Bible study, games, and food. Through these gatherings, we form meaningful connections and relationships with teenagers at pivotal moments in their lives. Campus Life is a bridge to reaching students who may not otherwise be exposed to the love of Jesus, offering them a safe space to belong, connect, and grow.

Juvenile Justice Ministry (JJM) At YFC El Paso, our Juvenile Justice Ministry (JJM) reaches broken and troubled students in lock-up. Over the years, we have witnessed cadets in the Juvenile Justice system commit their lives to Christ. We’ve seen the trajectory of their lives transformed and empowered by the love of Christ. This ministry is a beacon of hope for those who feel lost and abandoned, offering them a second chance through the message of Jesus.

Parent Life We are also looking to expand our Parent Life ministry, which helps mentor and support teen moms. These young mothers need guidance, financial support, and a community that will empower them to raise their children in a Christ-centered environment. This ministry doesn’t just impact one generation—it has a ripple effect, transforming the lives of mothers and their children, leaving a legacy of faith and hope.

Impact Beyond Students: Families Transformed One of the most powerful effects of our ministry is the transformation we’ve seen within families. By reaching teens, we’ve also witnessed parents’ lives impacted and entire families transformed. When a young person is changed by the love of Christ, the transformation often extends to their home, bringing healing, restoration, and hope to parents and siblings. We believe that by reaching one student, we are planting seeds of change that can impact entire households and communities.

How You Can Help

We cannot do this alone. Our staff is currently limited, and we need more donors to expand our reach into these new schools and ministries. Your partnership with YFC El Paso allows us to:

  • Go into schools and reach unchurched youth through Campus Life, inviting them into a Christ-centered community.
  • Transform the lives of cadets in the Juvenile Justice Ministry.
  • Support teen moms through Parent Life, impacting both them and their children for generations to come.
  • Reach teens in a way that leads to family transformation, bringing hope to entire households.

Your gift today will allow us to expand into new schools, reach more students in need, and continue our life-changing ministries. No donation is too small—Every dollar you give makes a real difference in the lives of young people and their families across El Paso. Together, we can offer hope and share the love of Christ with those who need it most.

Thank you for partnering with us to change lives for eternity!
