我们至今的故事
从小小的校园宣教到全球青年团契
Youth Evangelical Fellowship（YEF）的根源可追溯到2002年，那一年张大卫博士与橄榄山神学院（OTCS）的学生一同创立了 Apostolos Campus Ministry（ACM）。2003年，这项事工开始发展成为后来的 Youth Evangelical Fellowship，怀着日益扩展的异象：藉着神的话语、门徒训练与布道接触大学生。
2009年，纽约翻开了重要的新一页。哥伦比亚大学的一群学生受圣灵感动，聚在一起进行小组查经，并向同学传讲耶稣基督的福音，YEF 由此开始。从这些最初的聚集中，YEF 形成了清晰的方向：接触渴慕神话语的大学生，帮助他们作耶稣基督的门徒成长，并兴起愿意参与神宣教的年轻一代。
靠着神的恩典，这事工持续向国际扩展。到2015年，YEF的事工已触及北美、南美、欧洲、非洲、亚太、东南亚和南亚的校园。YEF的成长正反映了耶稣对神国的描述：
“It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.” — Mark 4:31–32
YEF 的使命，是兴起一代爱慕耶稣基督十字架的年轻人，大胆宣扬祂的牺牲与救恩的大能，并一同为神的国度作梦。YEF 坚信国际性的成长，也坚信要装备来自不同背景的年轻人，把自己献给耶稣基督与祂的大使命。透过圣经教导、门徒训练、布道、领袖培育、退修会、宣教特会与本地团契生活，YEF 盼望帮助年轻信徒热切地活出以神国为中心的生命。Youth Evangelical Fellowship 是 World Olivet Assembly 的成员，也是世界福音联盟的准成员。
从校园事工的最初根基，到跨越各大洲的国际团契，YEF 的历史见证了神的恩典与信实。
那最初的小小种子，藉着查经、校园布道、退修会、宣教中心、领袖特会、国际伙伴关系、宣教士训练，以及回应神呼召的年轻信徒的委身，一直不断成长。
今天，YEF 仍以异象展望未来：更多的校园、城市、宣教中心与国家。随着分会在六十多个国家被建立并坚固，YEF 盼望兴起的年轻人，不只领受福音，更成为把福音带给他人的门徒、领袖与宣教士。
每一位被接触的学生、每一次开启的查经、每一位被兴起的领袖、每一位被差派的宣教士、每一间被开拓的校园、每一个被福音触及的国家，都为神藉 YEF 所作的工添上新的一页。
从一粒小小的芥菜种，到不断成长的国际宣教，YEF 凭信心继续前行，兴起下一代去爱基督、服事祂的教会，并把福音带到万邦。
