Chairman's annual report RYFC
This year RYFC has worked with St Stephen's Church - and many other Churches - as part of
the strategic partnership to facilitate successful meetings and build relationships between
Christian educationalists. We have also mapped out and developed strategic alliances
between schools and churches and prayed daily for them for seven months.
We held the first RYFC / St Stephen's meeting in the Autumn of 2025 in conjunction with the
Association of Christian Teachers (ACT) for around 70 people. We then set up a
follow on meeting to develop links between churches and schools. We mapped out and
planned strategic alliances between Churches and Schools in the Redditch area. This gave
rise to the Redditch Christian Youih Network. The Redditch Christian Youth Network is now a
group of 32 people, mostly from Churches and Youth groups in Redditch, who are committed
to praying daily for Churches and Schools across the town. Three of the RYFC trustees have
led the daily prayers since January 2026. This fulfi"Is one of the original aims of RYFC to 'pray
unceasingly for Redditch,.
We have also further cemented our international links with our partners in Portugal: Bishop
Afonso, his wife Elizabeth and the Good Shepherd Academy. A further link has
been developed with a Pastor / Missionary in Madeira Portugal. Both partners are involved
in the daily prayers for the Youth of Redditch. We see the rhythm of daily prayer as a vital
ministry in the town.
We have also worked with St Stephens in evangelistic and outreach events across the
town. htt

witnessed a surge in Youth engagement through the Lightbox initiative. We have seen links
forming there between schools and churches. We were also involved working with the St
Stephen's Youth Pastor in a very successful Youth Alpha course at St Stephen's.
We also used football as a tool for the Gospel involving many young people and their
parents during the highly successful Oasis Christian festival. I handed out over 200 'Who is
the GOAT?, Tracts. Further events with football are being planned over the summer with St
Stephen's Youth Pastor, The Lightbox initiative and RYFC.
This year we also held a successful Jesus the Evidence event at St Stephens which generated
some interest in young men searching for the truth. htt

This year we have set up the RYFC website and established a wide range of
partners. htt

We believe our focus and emphasis this year at RYFC has been to develop links/partnerships
and to grow the Redditch Christian Youth daily Prayer Network. To raise the profile of NEET'S
in the town and facilitate relationships with those with a heart for the youth.
Thank you!
