Schools ministry The schools work has took off in a fantasHc way over the past couple of months. So first of all, a big thank you to those who keep WYFC in your prayers. An opportunity arose for us as YFC to join up with TLG, The educaHon charity, and members from All NaHons ChrisHan Centre and InternaHonal Life Centre, to provide Early IntervenHon coaching with students at The Kings Church of England school based on Regis Road in Wolverhampton. AUer doing training with TLG, we began coaching four students for an hour a week. Each of the students have different reasons why they had been selected by the school to be coached. With issues varying from aggressive, violent behaviour and language barriers to those with poor a<endance and lack of concentraHon. The aim of the coaching is to help the students gain important life skills and help them to conHnue their educaHon. The resources given by TLG have been instrumental in providing excellent quality sessions with the students. A meeHng was held with St. Peter's Collegiate School. The head of R.E. was very pleased at what we could offer parHcularly in the area of charity work within schools. He arranged a meeHng with a board of staff, in which we put forward a presentaHon of what we would do in creaHng a student led charity commi<ee and creaHng reflecHve artwork called 'An Easter Journey'. The artwork loosely followed the staHons of the cross and put forward quesHons and reflecHons on the emoHons Christ would have experienced leading up to the crucifixion and aUer His resurrecHon along with some personal quotes from students who had experienced things such as betrayal and being accused. The artwork was put up on plasma screens all around the school and a response sheet was created for students to explore further with more scripture and topics to discuss. A YFC Rock Solid lunchHme group has been created in Wednesfield High School. This has been provided parHcularly for students who the staff have idenHfied as vulnerable or in need of support. The group is relaxed with fun games, acHviHes and discussion as well as being somewhere these students can feel safe and talk about issues they may be facing. Please conHnue to pray for the work in schools. They are effecHve and a blessing to us.

WYFC Newsletter June 2015
Live wire youth
Every Friday evening we run a local youth
group at Wedneseld ChrisHan Centre
which opens its doors to a range of
dierent ChrisHan and non ChrisHan
teenagers from around the area.
The past couple of months we have
spoken on dierent areas of inuence in
our lives and how it aects our outlook and the decisions we
make, opening the youth's eyes to some of the things they are
actually taking in everyday without even realising it.
The past couple of weeks we've been looking at where we get our
guidance from. This has been an eye opening topic as the youth
put forward where they would go to for advice. InteresHngly a lot
of them said they would turn to online forums or search online,
rather than speak to people.
Rachel Jones gave her
tesHmony of when she
needed guidance about
whether to go university
or start up a full Hme
children's ministry. She
spoke of the diculHes
she faced and how she
spoke to God through
prayer, talked and prayed
with her parents, the
church pastors, and read the Bible for direcHon on what path she
should take.
A few of the youth came to speak to leaders about what guidance
and support they currently have in their lives and it was a great
Hme to share as leaders how having God, the Bible and good
godly council has made such a dierence in our personal lives.
