500 JYCs in Europe!

In 2009 we crossed the line and opened the 500th JYC in Europe!
Praise God for the impact this ministry is making in the lives of many 11-15 year olds. We estimate that we are now reaching over 5,600 junior teens.
(This is up from 470 and 5,300 in 2008.)


Our top 6 countries are:
  • Russia – 143
  • Romania – 77
  • Armenia – 50
  • Ireland – 45
  • Ukraine – 40
  • Germany – 22

Euro 08 Outreach report

Thanks for praying. We had a great week and were able to distribute 10,500 pieces of Gospel literature!
That breaks down to 1,500 children's magazines, 1,500 CEF tracts and 7,500 grown-up tracts. Here is a summary of what we did:
  • Saturday - We were present in Liestal (15 minutes from Kilchzimmer) at one of Switzerland's biggest 'Public Viewing' venues for the opening game. Almost everyone who entered the arena received a tract. We also did a lot of door to door distribution with the help of the local CEF worker.
  • Sunday - Afternoon distribution on the 'Fan Mile'.
  • Monday - Mixed with French and Romanian fans on the Zürich 'Fan mile'.
  • Tuesday - Outing to Interlaken, Beatenberg and Niederhorn.
  • Wednesday - Mixed with Swiss and Turkish fans and on the 'Fan Mile' in Basel and distributed a large number of tracts.
  • Thursday - work day at Kilchzimmer
  • Friday - the team traveled back to Ireland
Pray that the seed sown will bring forth fruit. The children's tracts gave opportunity for joining the mailbox club correspondence course and the grown-up tracts had a coupon to request a free New Testament, booklet or a gospel message on CD or cassette (this will be kindly followed up by the Swiss Tract Society).
