Ministry with Gambia YFC...

Gambia YFC is currently focusing on 2 areas - Community Fellowships (weekly clubs) and Leadership Development.  

Community Fellowships are started by YFC Young Leaders in their own community.  The first fellowship we attended was with Augustine at his home.  Augustine was inspired to start something in his neighborhood after attending the YFC World General Assembly last September.  The time of fellowship was very sweet and innocent with 7 of his family and neighbors.  Nathan started with the group inviting God to join the circle (see picture of fists joined by grasping thumbs) and have His way.  After a couple of games to strengthen the friendships already present, Nathan shared a message of encouragement from God's Word.  The evening ended in a most unexpected way, as the opportunity for prayer was offered.  One young man wanted prayer for healing in his stomach.  After praying for him Nathan said "Is there anyone else I can pray for?" and a girl named Anna (who had arrived late) replied "I would like to know more about Jesus."  Right then and there, Nathan explained the Good News of Jesus Christ, and prayed with her to receive Him as her Savior.  We rejoiced with the angels as we walked away and thanked God for allowing us the privilege of harvesting the fruit that was already ripe!  Pray for Anna, that she will be strengthened in her faith as Augustine and his friends encourage her decision.
