Don’t just take our word for it! Check out what others who completed the year say about YFG.
“I’ve experienced the YFG programme to be a powerful opportunity for God to work in and through a person’s life. God has brought a lot of transformation in my life through this programme and I recommend it to anyone, with the Lord’s leading, who is looking to develop their faith and discover their calling. If you feel God guiding you to do it, GO FOR IT! I had an amazing year, met amazing people, experienced amazing culture, had ups and downs, but came to realise He is there and He is working out His plans and purposes in my life. The YFG has an amazing support structure with people who have a caring heart and who genuinely desire to see you grow in God. I bless the Lord for this year, the experience, the people and the YFG team.”
“My Year For God was an amazing time full of unforgettable blessing and real challenges. I learnt more of who God is and His faithfulness to us in all situations. It was humbling to become part of the community where I was living and to learn from the people’s lives and faith. I learnt more about who I am, my weaknesses and my strengths, as well as how I can serve in the future. I leave with a greater love for God, for people, and for world mission.”
“YFG is about experiencing the adventure of letting go and letting God in. For me it was about a year of exposure to foreign lands, practises, languages and a deeper exposure to a very familiar God. It will take you to the strangest places, the kindest people, the hardest times, the weirdest food, the most interesting toilets and give your life a true call to walk the walk of true discipleship.”
“It was such a privilege to work in a multi-cultural team in pioneering settings and to benefit from their wisdom and relationship with God.”
“It was a great year, I went as a weak Christian, who, to be honest, was looking for adventure and willing to find it with a Christian organisation, but that turned out to be God’s hand! God used the 12 weeks of DTS lectures to change me, teach me, grow me, and of course love me! It was an intense period of growth, followed by nine months of outreach, that was intense in an entirely different way, moving from place to place, out of the lecture bubble, in crazy places, doing crazy stuff, and through it all God was there, and I learnt to depend on Him. The year took me out my comfort zone, into a place of more acute need for God, and He responded by blowing me away and changing my life!”
“If you are thinking of doing Year For God, I would say GO FOR IT, but do expect big things to happen!”
