Youth for Christ

Chelsea

Twelve-year-old Chelsea was both excited and nervous as she packed her bags for the four-day camping trip she was attending with her Youth for Christ Campus Life Club .

Chels ea’s life has not been easy Her biological mother has been unemployed sporadically for years, while her grandmother has struggled to raise Chelsea and her three siblings To make matters worse, Chelsea’s youngest brother was diagnosed with cancer in 2020

YFC’s middle school summer camp experience couldn’t take away the hardships in Chelsea’s life, but it did give her some relief from the hand that has been dealt to her It gave her the chance to run and play with girls her age, to laugh, cheer, sing and dance — all without the constant reminder of life’s challenges

And when the time c ame for Chelsea to return home, she carried with her the message of a good God who loves her . More than that, she will have the support of the YFC leaders who will walk beside her for years to come through the Campus Life Program
