Sam Gerges | Humans of YIC

Established in May 2015, Youth In Christ - YIC is the youth ministry arm of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Melbourne. It is a ministry run by youth for youth. YIC exists to fulfil three main objectives: to bring youth together from across the diocese, to bring youth servants together to learn from and serve with each other and to produce resources for youth to help them grow in their Life in Christ. With monthly meetings, special events, prayer nights, snow camps and spiritual resources, God has worked through the servants of YIC to serve their brothers and sisters.
