Hello brothers. For both SFC and YFC, they have adopted a battle cry of "150 in 1." That is, they want to bring SFC and YFC to 150 countries within one year. This is in line with our thrust in CFC of being in
over 150 countries by the year 2006, our 25th anniversary. Thus they want to be in all the countries where we CFC are established. As of end of 2004, SFC is in 95 countries while YFC is in 70 countries.

Judging from the recently concluded Int'l Leaders Conferences (SFC in February and YFC this weekend), our young brethren are abounding in zeal, are passionate, and are committed to accomplishing what they believe God is telling them to do. This is pure grace. This is the empowerment of the Holy Spirit at work, raising up the next generation and already involving them deeply in our massive work of renewal and mission.

Brothers, we must respond to this outpouring of the Spirit. If SFC/YFC is already established in your country, let us move to expand and strengthen it. If SFC/YFC is not yet established in your country, then let us set it up! The Family Ministries are crucial for us to have a wholistic family life renewal program. And for the future of our work, the singles and youth are especially crucial. If any of our family ministries is lacking, then we are not complete! Let us give this the attention and emphasis that God intends.

You may take the initiative in this. You may get in touch with us and we can arrange to send a mission team to help you. On the other hand, our singles and youth will also be in touch with you, as they pursue
and be true to their calling. Please do not disappoint them, and in doing so, disappoint the Lord. Work out together how we can effectively establish SFC/YFC in your country.

God bless you all.
