Upper Canada Youth For Christ, serving rural youth ministries in Upper Canada by building relationships, sharing resources and following the pulse of God where it is already beating

"If you want to speak life, you've got to start with Love - We know the source of all love comes from God." This is the main piece of what the kids will be learning this week. How do you learn to love Jesus? A genuine love for Jesus spreads to a love for others. How do you teach youth to love Jesus? Please pray that the teaching would be clear, and that we find a way to bridge the gap between believer and soon to be believer. It is difficult to challenge the youth to"Speak Like" if they have no understanding of a relationship with the Life Giver.

Putting 400 encouraging notes on lockers at South Grenville district high school was an excellent way of getting the youths attention. We have 6 new youth signed up to join the Random Acts group in the high school. Please pray they remember about it on Wednesday this week, and that we are able to set the vision before the youth without upsetting the lines of authority we are bound by. The group of 3 young women chosen to be part of the LIT team will be reading through the book of Joshua. We met yesterday and discussed everything from Calvinism to how Satan became a fallen angel. There is one beautiful young woman in this group who I carry to the Lord almost continually as of late. Much has been shown to me about her family, and her needs. Please pray for discernment moving forward, and for Gods love to flow through us to her home. We need continued prayer for the JUNE 10 Rally in Prescott at the outdoor amphitheater. Tim Conrad and I (Johanna) are working on the talk to be shared the rally. Please pray for clarity, wisdom, protection and peace. We are int he process of deciding programming and Summer activities right now. How and if to do VBS with another church or on our own, where... what our Tuesday night youth might look like, Camping trip??? Please pray that into the Summer we would hear clearly on what God would have us do. I know VBS can be a powerful ministry, and need the manpower to do this. Please pray, I know God will bless and reveal. This Summer Upper Canada YFC will be applying for Charitable status. We will be evaluating ministry from the last year, and putting structure in place to sustain the growing need for YFC in rural areas such as Prescott. We will also be looking at how to grow our sphere of influence in the Upper Canada Region. As God continues to guide, we would ask that you also seek out guidance as to whether if there is a greater role He would like you to play in this ministry. Please contact me if you would like to explore what this might mean for you. As we seek Him out together, you may have a passion for something we have not even thought of, please share! I (Johanna) thank God for each one of you and the influence we are having for the Kingdom today.  You are part of a global movement that cares for and brings youth into a kingdom that will never fade. God is so good, and through us He can do far more than we could ever dream or imagine. May God continue to bless you in all things. Hidden in the one and only God, Johanna
