Youth For The Nations is a totally dynamic and passionately intense summer camp for teenagers. Since 1989, thousands of young people from all over the world have flocked to the campus of Christ For The Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas in order to meet with Jesus and have their lives completely transformed by the power of God. The leadership and staff of YFN pursue Jesus unashamedly and hold nothing back in striving to make each week of camp the most intense, spiritually focused youth gathering in the nation. We host larger-than-life outdoor games, power-packed workshops, and nightly services with some of the world’s leading worship leaders & speakers. To experience YFN is to experience personal transformation, and return home fired up for Jesus with a true heart for your community & the world.

1. To prepare a place where teenagers & youth leaders can come together in order to passionately pursue the presence of God.

2. To create an atmosphere where teenagers & youth leaders can experience personal transformation through the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

3. To set the stage for teenagers & youth leaders to have their hearts enlarged for world missions and peer evangelism.

Each year, YFN receives testimony after testimony from youth pastors and campers from across the country about how God has changed their life at YFN.  At YFN, we see God set teenagers free from addictions, heal them mentally, physically, and emotionally, but most importantly see them come to truly know God. YFN also has intense worship where teenagers are challenged to go after the heart of God in passionate pursuit.  Workshops are also an important aspect in YFN; they are designed to equip teenagers with practical teachings which allow them to leave and apply what they have learned and experienced.  YFN also consists of crazy games where the campers can have fun and go nuts with hundreds of other teens.

All year long YFN interns are preparing for the summer.  Each week they are praying and fasting, seeking the heart of God  and desiring to see a generation changed and set apart for the glory of God.
