Regular users of FIC material are probably aware of the impending launch of Freedom In Christ For Young People, the resource we’ve been working on with Youth For Christ for three years or so. (If you’ve placed an advance order, there’s not much longer to wait – we will be shipping it to you before the end of the month!). You can see details of the new course by clicking here.
Steve Goss says, “We gave people a sneak preview of Freedom In Christ For Young People at our tenth anniversary events in May. We were overwhelmed by the positive reaction it received. I’m very excited about it!”
We are running two key equipping days for youth leaders and youth workers in September. If you use FIC in your church, we recommend you put details in the hands of your youth leaders asap.
Our special guest speaker for the events is Dave Park who co-wrote most of FIC’s original youth material with Neil Anderson – including international best-sellers such as Stomping Out The Darkness, Youth Bondage Breaker, Purity Under Pressure, Busting Free and the like. He has trained youth leaders in 21 countries and has a fantastic gift for communicating Biblical truths in a gentle, humorous way.
He didn’t have input into the new FIC For Young People, of course (because it was specially written from scratch in the UK with Youth For Christ for the UK church!), but he does have a wealth of experience to share when it comes to understanding how to communicate the principles it contains to young people and how to help young people walk in freedom and become fruitful disciples.
If you are a church that is working with FIC principles, you really won’t want to miss these events!
The equipping days are called Helping Young People Find Freedom In Christ and take place in Birmingham on Saturday 5 September and in N. Ireland on Saturday 12 September (10am to 5pm, £20 per person). As well as equipping youth leaders with Biblical ‘freedom principles’ we will be taking the opportunity to introduce the new course and give hints and tips on running it.

Can you distribute hard copy leaflets to local youth leader networks? Please let us know and we’ll happily send some to you.
