About doncaster
At Doncaster Youth for Christ, we partner with local churches to help them reach and disciple young people and children. Across Doncaster, whilst there are many pockets of great children and youth ministry, on the whole, many young people and children do not have access to hearing the Gospel in a relevant way. Churches are interested but often do not have the people or resources to focus their efforts on reaching the next generation.
We have found children and young people open to the Gospel in the areas we work and it’s a joy to partner with churches to see them take the Gospel into schools and start new outreach and discipleship initiatives.
God Stories
We recently had a team from the U.S. come and do a mission week here in Doncaster just before the summer. At a final outreach event, we saw 70 young people (the majority from unchurched backgrounds), and 17 responses to the gospel. You could see the excitement amongst the young people and it has allowed us to partner with local churches to continue discipleship.
In another area, we recently had a 17-year-old girl come to one of our outreach youth groups. After 6 months of coming to the group, she shared with me about how 6 months previously she had tried to kill herself, but being in pain, she didn’t know why but she said to God ‘Please don’t let me die’. The next day she was invited to this youth group and she began to hear about a relationship with Jesus. Six months later, she gave her life to Jesus in the parking lot after a youth group. She shared with me how she feels like God has led her here. We now continue to disciple her through 1 on 1 and small groups.
Our Prayer
We’re continuing to believe God for young people to come to a knowledge of Him. We believe that God will raise up people that will continue long-term ministry in many of these areas in which there is no relevant access to the Gospel for young people and children.
We would love to invite you to be apart of the eternal work God is doing here in Doncaster!
