Our Story
Founded by Richard Ifeanyi Nkemka in 2020 through the help of God, Christian Youth Club International is a youth and faith-based global movement empowering young Christians to rise as voices of change and transformation.
Starting in Lesotho, South Africa, CYC International now spreads across 23 nations of the world. We are building a movement that empowers young Christians to be the light of the world as Jesus commands in Matthew 5:16.
Young Christians must rise up and make impact in their communities and nations, effecting positive change in the world system. As Jesus says, we are in the world but not of the world (John 15:19). Young Christians must rise as the voice that brings healing, transformation, and salvation to dying souls.
Today, CYC International operates as a global Christian organization dedicated to raising ambassadors of transformation who embody Christ-like values in every sphere of society.
