YMCA

Our Daily Grace!!! 

May 19, 1925 – On this day, the YMCA was founded and the world was graced. 

The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) is a worldwide organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, with more than 64 million beneficiaries from 120 national associations. It was founded on 6 June 1844 by Sir George Williams in London and aims to put Christian principles into practice by developing a healthy "body, mind, and spirit". From its inception, it grew rapidly and ultimately became a worldwide movement founded on the principles of muscular Christianity. Local YMCAs deliver projects and services focused on youth development through a wide variety of youth activities, including providing athletic facilities, holding classes for a wide variety of skills, promoting Christianity, and humanitarian work. YMCA globally operates on a federation model, with each independent local YMCA voluntarily affiliated to their national organizations. The national organizations, in turn, are part of both an Area Alliance (Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa, Latin America & Caribbean, United States, and Canada) and the World Alliance of YMCAs (World YMCA). 

In celebration of the foundation of the YMCA, Amazing Grace is transformed into one of the Village People.
