| As local missionaries here in the United States Bobby and Jenelle reach out to a foreign culture with a foreign language and foreign dress and customs--- youth in the Pacific Northwest. Youth for Christ is an international organization that seeks to share the great news of Jesus Christ with high school and junior high age young people through a relational ministry, especially reaching out to those who are not being reached by the local church. Youth for Christ has been around since 1944 and has outreaches here in the United States and in many countries around the world. |
| Our vision is, in partnership with the body of Christ, to see every young person in every people group in every nation have the opportunity to make an informed decision to be a follower of Jesus Christ and become a part of a local church. Basically we want to show Jesus’ love to young people through what we say and do and to get them connected to a church where they grow. |
| "Bobby is the Ministry Director for Tacoma Youth for Christ, one of the largest Youth for Christ chapters in the country. He oversees the YFC ministries of Campus Life, Campus Life JV, Youth Guidance, Parenting Workshops, and Teen Moms." |
| "Bobby has been full-time with Youth for Christ for 11 years, the first 6 in Montana and the last 5 here in Tacoma. He and his beautiful wife, Jenelle, live in Lakewood with their adorable daughters Kelsey (3 years old), Lauren and Elise (8 months old)." |
