Mullingar

CATALYST 2025

Youth for Christ partnered with three churches in Mullingar to host a mini youth conference in the Midlands. We had a band from the US lead the worship and some guest speakers shared about their ministries and opportunities for the young people to respond to God. Additionally we set up the Nomad soccer cage and had a BBQ for the young people. We had around 130 students participate with groups coming from Sligo and Longford Youth for Christ also.

PRAYER SPACES

““I want to thank you for bringing me here today. I lost track of the true meaning of life, but you brought me back.””

A Prayer Space gives young people an opportunity to reflect about life’s questions. They explore prayer for themselves in an engaging, creative and interactive environment. Over the past nine months Marian has facilitated 19 Prayer Spaces, in various settings – retreats, schools, churches, and a caravan! The caravan travelled to visit six national schools engaging with over 170 children.

MIDLANDS YOUTH HUB

YFC Ireland had to make the very difficult decision to let go of our building in Mullingar, which allowed us to engage with thousands of young people over the past six years. We’re both celebrating what it has achieved and grieving the loss. Youth for Christ are still at work in Mullingar, we continue to support Alpha courses in local schools and are involved in the development of local youth ministry.

MOVE 2025

Youth for Christ in Sligo were able to secure over €15,000 through Foundation for the Nations to help bring more young people to Move from Sligo, Longford and Castlebar. This funding will enable young people to receive sizeable discounts on their ticket costs as well as covering their travel and other details.
