Youth for Christ joins forces with Four Kornerz

Four Kornerz have just signed a key partnership agreement with leading Christian organisation Youth For Christ.

The move will see Four Kornerz become Youth For Christ’s main band to assist in promoting the Christian charity’s work which dates back to 1946 when originally founded by US preacher Billy Graham. Previously, Youth For Christ have worked with in-house created music groups to spearhead schools, community and prison initiatives. But this is the first time  in recent years the organisation has actively outsourced such a key role to an already existing outfit, in this instance Four Kornerz.

Embarking on this new phase, Four Kornerz lead singer Deji comments: “This adds a new depth to what we do as band. Four Kornerz and Youth For Christ have a shared passion and vision to positively impact youth culture in a relevant way. And we are very excited about this alliance.”  

The band’s first official Youth For Christ engagement will be on Sat 13 October where they will take part in “Showcase Day” at Coventry Central Hall. Over 800 workers and youth from all over the Youth For Christ UK network are expected to attend and Four Kornerz will not only bring their exhilarating brand of live music but also take part in the official Commissioning Service to formal welcome the band as an official Associate Ministry of Youth For Christ.

Director of National Ministries Dave Newton expresses with great enthusiasm, “Youth for Christ are very excited to be partnering with such a vibrant, talented band. The boy’s energy, professionalism and commitment to mission is unquestionable. As a result of this partnership, we will be working to deliver a number of evangelistic events and create opportunities for Four Kornerz to work in schools and young offenders institutes. We are anticipating many exciting opportunities which will extend our influence and ultimately reach more young people with the Good News of Jesus.”

The major scale of the partnership will take full force in 2008 when the band makes its debut at the annual Youth For Christ staff conference and take on a key city tour alongside the Christian organisation.
