An Invitation to Pray

Join us in prayer from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday as we unite, focusing this week on the power of the Holy Spirit to impact and lead upcoming generations. As we recognize the importance of mobilizing our youth into God's mission, let's also lift up prayers for our Youth Mobilizers, so that they may be empowered, equipped, and provided for in their vital work. 

WEEK SIX: The Calling and Empowering of the Holy Spirit

 May 5^th - 11^th

 Scripture Focus: 2 Timothy 1:6-14 

•  Pray that youth in the Church in Canada would be wholehearted disciples of Jesus Christ, filled with God’s Spirit, unashamed of the gospel, living holy and blameless lives.
• We recognize the need to mobilize our youth into God’s redemptive mission. Please pray for our Youth Mobilizers to know God’s empowering, equipping and provision for the work they have taken on.
• May the Lord guard His work in their lives.
