On behalf of the YFC Winnipeg Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that Cliff Heide has been called to the position of Executive Director of YFC Winnip...eg, effective January 1, 2020 says YFC Winnipeg Board Chair, Russ Friesen. Cliff has been ministering in YFC Winnipeg for over 18 years, most recently as Senior Ministry Director. The Board is confident that under Cliffs leadership YFC Winnipeg will continue grow in its ability to reach youth in Manitoba. Heide began his journey with YFC while attending Providence College. He began volunteering at The Edge (a YFC skateboard program) and there got excited about youth ministry. At the time my studies focused on business and organizational leadership, says Heide. But my time at The Edge really shifted my outlook on what youth ministry was, and I felt God pulling me in that direction. Heide joined the staff at The Edge in 2001, and a few years later he assumed the Program Director role at The Edge. In 2015 Heide answered Gods call once again to become a Senior Ministry Director, supervising several YFC program directors. I am honoured to be given this opportunity to serve as Executive Director, says Heide, and am confident in doing so because I know firsthand that we have an amazing team serving here at YFC. The Board and YFC Winnipeg staff would also like to extend its gratitude and recognition of John Courtney as he steps down as Executive Director effective December 31, 2019, after 47 years of service. Under Johns leadership and ministry YFC Winnipeg has reached tens of thousands with the gospel and built an organization that ministers to Youth on a much larger scale than we could have imagined. John leaves behind a legacy at YFC that will continue to impact the lives of youth for years to come. It has been my prayer and passion that YFCs best years are ahead and that the mission and ministry of Youth for Christ will continue to thrive says Courtney. The Boards choice of Cliff gives me great comfort in knowing the mission of YFC is safe. Cliff is a deeply spiritual person who believes in the power of the gospel. Ive been blessed to work with amazing staff, a committed Board of Directors and a strong senior leadership team. It has been an honour to be a part of the YFC family for so many years. Founded in 1954, YFC Winnipeg is one of the largest YFC chapters in North America with over 70 missionary staff and 400+ volunteers working with over 11,000 youth last year. The mission to see the hope and potential in every young person has helped form a diverse array of youth programming (Ball Hockey, Soccer, Rig Fitness Centre, Turning Point Counselling Centre, New Hope for Teen Parents, the Edge Skatepark, Work Force, King St. Drop-in, the Rock Climbing Gym, Masterworks Dance Studio, Camp Cedarwood, and satellite locations in Arborg, Carman, Gimli, Niverville, Selkirk, Stonewall, and St. Pierre-Jolys.) Please join us in welcoming Cliff to his new role in YFC Winnipeg and supporting him and the entire YFC Winnipeg ministry in our prayers, encouragement, and financial support.

We are excited to announce that YFC Winnipeg will be offering homeschool programming in the new year (January 2019)! This is a pilot project, with hopes of prov...iding a meaningful resource in the areas we already have experienced staff. We are not trying to become a school, but rather serve families that are homeschooling with an option to build community connection and have kids and youth participate in these skills with staff that care about their well being in a holistic way. We are open to offering this programming to any homeschool families and/or co-ops or collectives. We are not officially partnering with any one homeschool group and also not exclusive to any group. Everyone is welcome! Please feel free to share the news! This is a YFC endeavour. http://yfcwinnipeg.com/yfc-homeschool-program.html
