The Clinkscales' Journey in Missions
(Newer videos first. You'll notice the transition from Youth for Christ USA to Youth for Christ International, serving in Slatina, Romania. We will update as often as humanly possible. Keep in mind, a "simple" 5-min video can take upwards of 1\2 – 1 day of editing, to say nothing of the time it takes to film. 😬 The videos I share here will only be the ones that I have personally made, NOT those that I've only helped with or supported other creators in making. I hope you enjoy!

Why is YFC-Military important?
Even though the Lord has moved in amazing ways to make YFC Romania work and put us together with a great team of people serving this beautiful country, we still love our US Military servicemen and -women and believe their families are worth the effort missionaries are putting in to love their students while they serve in harm's way. We still want to make these videos available for those interested to learn about what they're doing and support them in prayer or giving!
