Youth for Christ Moldova

Our vision is to see God’s glory coming across Moldova by mobilizing, supporting, and equipping churches to be salt and light in their communities and rescue lost kids and young people at risk, for Jesus Christ.

 

Our History

In the spring of 1999 the first team of YFC Moldova started to work with street children on the streets of Chisinau. Soon afterwards the first day centre for children at risk was opened. A year later YFC Moldova was officially registered with the Moldova government.

Due to a good collaboration with what is now the YFC Eastern Europe office, the work was able to grow and some more day centres in other towns in the country were opened. In 2001 the Youth Evangelism project started, focusing on motivating and supporting churches to set up clubs to reach out to non-Christian youth in their communities.

Right now there are about 40 churches involved in this ministry. A prayer ministry was started to motivate esp. the youth to focus on their walk with God. In 2004 the ministry with children at risk was taken to the churches and at the moment there are over 50 churches involved in this project, running day care centre for the children. In 2003 YFC Moldova became officially chartered by YFC International.

Our Mission

God is the source of our authority and power, so a deep personal walk with Him is vital for every individual. Listening to and hearing His voice is our priority so that we can take only the steps that are in His will, even if they look impossible. Our objective is not to build the YFC organization to make it look good but to build the Kingdom of God.

We will be leaders who come to serve, not to be served. Love will be more evident than power or being right. We know we are still growing so far from perfect. We will never be content to stay in our comfort zone and will change our strategies, as required, always striving toward our goal. After listening to God, we will step out in faith, even before the money is evident.

We want to challenge and facilitate the staff in reaching their full potential, making sure people understand the importance of the work they do. We will take action to solve (improve) conflict situations. We will not only focus on the YFC ministry but will also build collaboration with other organizations, as together, we can do great things. We will make our partners look good.

The church is God’s body on earth and central to His plans. So our focus is to partner with and equip churches and encourage unity between all parts of the body.

Our Values

Integrity and competence. We only promise what we can make true, and we make what we promise true: faithfulness. We will not consciously sacrifice our faithfulness to God for the sake of attaining our goals.

Discipline – correct behavior, adequate dress, punctuality, order, and clear working hours. Dedication manifested through hard work, hours outside the program when necessary, and dedication to personal growth and development of the organization.

Professionalism is evident in the quality of the services delivered, the transparency of the activities, the tendency towards perfection, and professional growth through ongoing training and Teamwork. We wish to have a united team with interpersonal relationships based on friendship and collegiality.

Responsibility is manifested through the fact that each staff member is responsible for what he does or says and understands that allocated tasks need to be fulfilled efficiently and on time.
