After 15 minutes and a successful battery replacement he was beaming. His girlfriend came by to fi nd out what was going on. He proudly told her what he had done. Kenny’s story is full of heartache. He is bright and resourceful and hungry for an opportunity to see his talents come to light. The heart of CLW is to give young people like Kenny direction and to help them realize their gifts and value as children of God. Kenny hopes to be one of our fi rst offi cial participants.

profileMike Robertson Mike’s partnership with CIYFC began in 2008 when he was asked to be a part of the Teen Parents Steering Committee. “I was the ‘token male’ on the committee,” Mike remembers. But Mike quickly became committed to CIYFC’s mission of reaching every young person. “Statistics show that teens and pre-teens are when most people entrust their lives to Christ,” said Mike, “CIYFC
allows me to help in the biggest commitment of one’s life.” Mike became a board member in 2010 and has been treasurer since 2011. With his accounting background Mike has been a tremendous asset in the CIYFC fi nancial offi ce establishing fi nancial reporting standards.
