Miami YFC: Why Does She Light Up a Room?
We would like to introduce the beautiful soul that is Erika*. Erika has been coming to KIX since elementary school. Even though she has longevity in the program, Erika often disappears for a while. This happened – again – this summer. She was unreachable until around October, when staff mentor Macrina texted her. Erika began […]

Nicaragua: Hurricane Relief…A Christmas Report of Praise!
This past week we got to participate in one of the best Christmas gift givings you could ever dream of.

Miami YFC: “You don’t know how much he needs this!”
Slightly stressed but hopeful parents milled about the school cafeteria with their young teenagers at Western High’s Open House, gently pushing them towards the tables that advertised school club opportunities. Lynn and Kristen stood in front of their ridiculously huge “Connect 4” table game, greeting parents and attempting to explain CAMPUS LIFE clubs in 10 […]
GUATEMALA MEDICAL MISSION TRIP 2021
It has been about a month since our return from the medical missions in Guatemala. The theme verse for this mission was 1 Chronicles 16:24 – “Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.” Prior to and throughout our week in Guatemala, this verse was our driving force as we engaged […]
Miami YFC: Who, Me? A Leader?
I met Mel a few years ago – she was in 6th grade and one of the first kids to come to our afterschool program at Miami Springs Middle.
