#MyCYIStory
Why we came, and why we stayed!
My CYI experience is a Miracle. I initially thought being in ministry means being the Holy Joe but I have better knowledge now. Being human and knowing Christ is all the super power you need. The CYI family is my superhero family.

My CYI experience has been phenomenal! Having been with the ministry for a decade now, I can say with certainty that there’s no other place I’d rather be. It just keeps getting better year after year!

CYI has helped me to build fellowship with people in a positive way; to develop my skills, and to grow and become a good leader (spiritually, physically, financially) etc, to impact generations.

CYI is a home away from home; a true family; a place where I could never hold back who I am; a place where talent never goes wasted. Frankly, I have become a better person since joining CYI.

CYI is amazing! I was attracted by the youthful atmosphere, and I have since been groomed in my relationship with God and with people. I invite you o share in this wonderful experience with me.

Camp 2018 was my first CYI Camp. I was looking for an opportunity to wait on God before entering the new year. GOD BLEW MY MIND. I experienced more than I expected or imagined. It's certainly not something I can ever understand.
