Youth Alpha Video: Church

Our last session for Alpha will be about Church. "I love my friends, and there is nothing more that I want then for them to know Jesus..." This session points us to Jesus then to community within the family of God. "To know that God has a plan for my life, that changed my life because I was so lost without a purpose for my life. People need to have hope, people want God, they may not know it, but they really do..." This is but one testimony we will hear this week. Some of the youth have church homes, some do not. Please pray that they catch the vision and purpose for both themselves and their own families to be connected to church, to the body of Christ.

Upper Canada YFC had the opportunity to attend a 2 day Alpha Champions training in Toronto this past week. It was incredible to hear about how God is using this tool to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Churches in entire Cities are working together to bring Jesus to the lost through Alpha. Please continue to pray for Upper Canada YFC as we utilize this teaching tool to expand the kingdom of God. Also for the Alpha team across this globe, for protection and a widening of their reach for the Kingdom. THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME FOR BELIEVERS!!!

We continue to be in the local high school (SGDHS)on Wednesday at lunch hour. A few solid plans are forming, and I am excited to begin our first official "act" very soon! Please pray that "Sarah" has boldness in her invitation to other students, and that she is shown who to invite. God will expand her reach as we pray together.

The advisory team for Upper Canada YFC will soon be looking at charitable status options, and what this looks like for the future. We will be inviting some new faces onto the board, and as this process unfolds, please pray for all of us to be united through the mind of Christ. God is already at the end of this long journey, we just need to follow the path he has chosen for us to get there. Wisdom and timing. There will be more funds to raise, and more knowledge to be learned. Please ask God if there is any part you can play as we move forward in Christ toward this goal. Thank You.

The outline for the youth rally teaching has gone out to over 10 churches in the Upper Canada region. Please pray for those writing this teaching that God is very clear about how and what to write. Please pray that local churches are excited to participate, and that God goes before as he always has to prepare the youth to hear the message about Jesus and social media. June 10, 2016 is the date for the Rally, we need a complete covering for this time together. Continue to pray for wisdom leading up to this for all involved.

It has been so amazing to watch the town of Prescott come alive through the Spirit of God. So many things happen day to day... and faith is growing as God makes all things new. When I was a teen we believed nothing good could come from Prescott, and the reputation it held was horrific. No longer will people speak of Prescott as a place of monstrosities, but of healing and of lives renewed because of the Power of our great and mighty God. He will redeem all things in His time, and daily I am caught off guard, stunned and surprised with all that he has done and continues to do. We are desperate to see God move, and He is faithful to do more than we could ever dream of or imagine. Be encouraged brothers and sisters, God has heard our cry, and is indeed alive.

In the Love and Spirit of a God who loves us beyond human understanding,
Johanna

A beautiful display of God's story...
