Over the course of 40 years of ministry many teens have made their way through the “halls” of TFC Connection. As a ministry we have recognized the need to stay connected with former students to encourage them to continue growing in their faith and provide them with opportunities to serve. These opportunities include anniversary celebrations, campus/city gatherings and mission opportunities. Through these activities we hope to reconnect TFC alumni with one another as they continue to grow as disciple-makers and serve in their local churches and communities.

If you are interested in anything happening with the alumni at TFC, send an email to [Janice](mailto:janice@tfcconnection.org).

As a ministry we felt God calling us to begin investing in people who were wanting to work with youth in rural communities in this region so we created a structure for youth groups to be associated with TFC through something called “Associate Groups”. Associate groups have access to TFC resources and coaching from TFC staff members. As a ministry we have over 200 years of combined ministry experience among the staff and we want to share that experience with others. Associate groups can decide to become a full TFC group after one year of being an associate group and then they will receive added benefits including coverage under the corporate insurance policy and a 15 passenger van if one is available.

At TFC Camp this year, we looked long and hard at Simon Peter and learned how God takes ordinary people and transforms them for His extraordinary purposes! Dustin Mulkey spoke for us this year, and it was an incredible chance to watch as God uses people for His incredible mission. Teens experienced the Lord changing them incredibly!

After attending large youth camps in the Kansas City area for several years in the late 70’s and early 80’s, the ministry leadership decided to begin designing their own camp experience locally in Southern Nebraska. TFC Camp happens over a two-week period each summer at the Camp Joy campground east of Alma, NE. During wild and wacky games, water fun and special events the teenagers develop long-term friendships with other area teens. Spiritual growth occurs through devotions, seminars and messages which encourage campers to take the next step in growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ. TFC Camp provides solid opportunities for teens to grow in the disciple-making process as they are integrated into student leadership positions through a variety of intentional leadership development steps.

Since disciplemaking is the heartbeat of TFC Connection, one of the services TFC offers is individual coaching with an emphasis on helping people discover how they were created to reflect the character of God as disciplemaker.
|
||||
|
||||
As a staff we have members who have been a part of the ministry for only a few years but some have been on staff for well over 30 years. We would love to share some of that experience with others who are working with youth. Some of the TFC staff are certified life coaches, and coaching has become a part of our staff culture. If you are interested in life coaching, TFC has staff who are trained to walk with you in that area.

The heartbeat of TFC is the weekly connection meeting. In locations where TFC provides community youth groups, connection meetings are held weekly and are designed to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of teenagers. Teens are taught the Word of God with the purpose of building a biblical foundation, igniting a passion for the Gospel, and developing the ability to share that message with others as disciple-makers.

This year we went on two trips, one to Rehoboth Christian Schools in New Mexico to help with construction around their campus, and one to Roca Blanco in Mexico to work alongside them in their childrens ministries and spread the Gospel!
|
||||
|
||||
# Rehoboth Christian Schools, New Mexico
|
||||
|
||||
Going to Rehoboth Christian Schools was a chance to work hard and share the love of Jesus for a school that is doing a lot of really cool things! We use work trips like this to stretch the comfort zones of teenagers and help them to grow a "heart for the world". A lot of times we see teenagers learn how to die to self in big ways on these trips!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Rehoboth Christian Schools is a pre-school through high school, that serves the region of Gallup, New Mexico. They use their school as a way to bring a much high quality service to students from the area and share Jesus with the people there. [Rehoboth Christian School](https://www.rcsnm.org) was founded in 1903 as a ministry to the Native American people of the Four Corners region. Today, Rehoboth continues its ministry through education with multiculturalism as a backdrop, serving approximately 75% Native American students, 17% Anglo students, and 8% of students of Hispanic descent and other ethnic minorities. Rehoboth is committed to building students up not only intellectually, but also spiritually and emotionally, helping them grow into mature Christians.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
We had the awesome opportunity to roof two buildings, paint many windows and doors, and help with all kinds of odd jobs around the campus including demoing a computer lab so it could be transformed into a new special education room. The first buildng the team did was a garage/greenhouse used by the school for maintenance and teaching gardening and agriculture. The second was the older pre-school dorms that are going to be renovated into more general dormitories for volunteer teams like ours in the future. The dorm we stayed in as well as the one we roofed had many windows that were starting to take on some water and needed to be repainted to help seal the buildings up.
|
||||
|
||||
The final job we had was to demo the computer lab in the middle school. The school was hoping to convert it into a dedicated space for their special education students, so we tore out the counters and floors and leveled everything off so they'd be able to rebuild it however they needed. Many of the teens learned how to use all kinds of new tools as they enjoyed tearing down the room!
|
||||
|
||||
We also were given some really cool cultural experiences around the Gallup area. Going to a farmers market gave us a huge appreciation for the culture and community there, while talking with a pastor who has worked there for over two decades greatly expanded the spiritual views of many of the teens by seeing how the Navajo people view spirituality differently than we often do. We also were incredibly blessed to have gotten to know the people who help run Rehoboth Christian Schools more and learn from them as they have led this incredible school and ministry to help many kids come to know Christ and serve him throughout their lives.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Our time working with Rehoboth gave the teenagers a new look on life and missions by developing a "heart for the World" in them. It was an awesome experience where many teenagers found themselves wanting to do more and more as they served God by serving the people at Rehoboth

# Roca Blanca Mission Base, Mexico
|
||||
|
||||
The Mexico mission trip to Roca Blanca Mission Base was a Level 3 mission trip which means that this trip was designed to help the teens develop “apostolic passion” to be sent out as disciples to spread the Gospel and make disciples. The teens were given experience sharing their faith with others and praying over people, with some incredible results.
|
||||
|
||||
The [Roca Blanca Mission Base ](https://rocablanca.org) was founded around 40 years ago when some missionaries began visiting Oaxaca, Mexico and people began to follow Jesus. The Gospel had only come to this region of Mexico around 50 years ago and this region still contains the most unreached people groups in the Americas. The Mission base impacts the lives of people in this region (and beyond) in several ways including:
|
||||
|
||||
- A multi-grade school (pre-k thru HS) that currently has 65 students but is growing.
|
||||
- A boarding school that has 40 students.
|
||||
- A music school that has 45 students.
|
||||
- A 3-year Bible School program that currently has 105 students (Mostly 18-22 years old.)
|
||||
- An orphanage.
|
||||
- A medical clinic.
|
||||
- A trade school that teaches many different trades including carpentry, welding, plumbing, electrical, cooking, sewing and multi-media, and they are working on adding auto mechanics, beauty, and a full nursing program.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Steven Roberts from Hutchinson, Kansas is the director of the Trade School. He was good friends with Ken Massey (former TFC Staff member) who kept telling him that he needed to go on a mission trip, but Steve was “too busy” with his construction company to go. When Ken died Steve decided he needed to honor Ken by going on a mission trip. That led him to going to Roca Blanca Mission Base and to him leaving behind his very successful construction company to build and lead the trade school on the base. He left everything behind and followed Jesus’ call to Roca Blanca. He has an incredible testimony which the teens heard all about on the trip and they helped do some landscaping at the trade school building which is nearing completion.
|
||||
|
||||
Through the Bible School program, they raise up missionaries and pastors to send them out to plant and lead churches. Currently they are overseeing 84 churches and are in the process of planting more. The students also attend the trade school in order to be able to support themselves in the villages and as a way of reaching out into the community they serve. Medical care is a key way that they reach people in the villages which is why they are investing in a nursing program. Medical missions open the door for sharing the Gospel with people and helping them turn away from the witch doctors in the villages.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Another way they serve people and open the door for the Gospel is by delivering food to families, some of whom live mainly on rice and beans which leads to health problems. The team handed out food bags in three villages and had the opportunity to share the Gospel and pray over families. This was one of our favorite parts of the trip and we had the privilege of leading 5 people to Salvation. We also prayed for people with serious health issues and another family who was dealing with deep grief after losing three family members in the span of 8 months. It was a deeply emotional visit both for them and us. One of the villages we visited has descendants of African slaves who were shipwrecked off the coast and settled there. They still practice their voodoo religion including human sacrifices and offering their children to Satan, so there is deep spiritual darkness in that area. Roca Blanca has faced some opposition to ministering there, but the people are open to medical missions and food. Roca Blanca is working to plant a church in that village and our team provided them with the funds they needed to get a provisional church started. They still need to raise $10,000 to build a church building and one of the teen girls on the trip went home with a plan to begin raising the funds so they can build the church as soon as possible.
|
||||
|

During our time there we also had the opportunity to spend some time with the kids at the orphanage and participate in two children's ministry opportunities including an outreach event in one of their churches and a Kid’s Club meeting in a different community. The teens learned three skits to present the Gospel to the kids, learned motions to songs they sang and a couple of them even shared their testimonies with the kids.

God blessed us in amazing ways on this trip and we saw Him work in the lives of people we met. We also heard powerful testimonies from people at the Mission Base and how God is working in and through them to make disciples in that area.

Our desire to see teenagers develop a heart for missions was the main force behind the development of mission trip opportunities over 30 years ago. These trips are designed to pull teens out of their comfort zone as they learn to see the needs of others through the lens of the Word of God. With an emphasis on prayer, personal devotions, and an “I’d be glad to” attitude, teens are challenged to see the world through the eyes of Jesus while serving as his hands and feet. Every year we offer several trips and each one is designed for a different level of spiritual maturity with a specific goal of moving students to the next level in the disciple-making process.

Understanding that growing as a disciple is a process, through the years TFC has supplemented what was taught in weekly meetings with a variety of training and/or refreshing “getaway” opportunities. Whether through large conferences or ministry specific student leadership training events, teens have the chance to step away from the everyday routine in order to dig deeper in their walk with Christ and grow in their leadership skills. Through events like 180 Encounters, all-nighters and concerts, teens also have the opportunity to gather with friends from across our ministry area and enjoy extended time to fellowship with one another while growing deeper in their faith.

In 2014 TFC developed this mission trip opportunity in response to the need for short local mission trip experiences. These trips focus on serving rural communities in our area for 2 to 3 days and they provide excellent faith building opportunities for teenagers and the adults who lead them. The trips are designed around the acrostic Surrender, Pray, Look, Ask, and Serve Happily – which is also the structure for these trips. We gather as a team to surrender our lives to God for his use and then we travel to a local community where we pray and begin looking for opportunities to serve as the Lord leads us to projects or people who need a helping hand.

Within the ministry of TFC there are several opportunities for volunteers to be involved in ministry with teenagers. The weekly meetings are one of the main opportunities for volunteers to join in with the ministry of TFC but we also provide other opportunities for people to join us in ministry with teenagers on mission trips and at TFC Camp. We appreciate all of our volunteers and our desire is that they grow in their faith along with the teenagers they are investing in.
