What adventures lay ahead for this 18-year-old boy raised in the depths of the great depression? Arriving on a cattle truck at the Kansas City stock yards was not exactly the entrance of a millionaire--for you see, that was his goal--to become a millionaire. But God had other plans! He charted Al's life into another course that became an exciting journey. The story of Kansas City Youth For Christ is a love story--a three-fold love story of its founders, Dr. Al and Vidy Metsker: their individual love for the Lord, their love for each other, and the love they shared for teenagers. This is the story of the unwavering faith, intense determination, boundless vision, faithful obedience, contagious enthusiasm and personal intergrity of a man and woman who were willing to put themselves at God's disposal.
