Upper Canada Youth For Christ, serving churches in Upper Canada by building relationships, sharing resources, and following the pulse of God where it is already beating.
This week at youth we will be having our Christmas party. We will be doing a gift exchange, having a Christmas meal together, singing carols, and Celebrating Jesus' birthday. Most importantly, the Christmas story will be read.
I ask that would pray for a newness to fall upon those that know the Christmas story well. For God to reveal something alive and fresh, that the youth would be able to cherish and keep close to their heart.
For those that do not know the Christmas story well, pray that it might be a new beginning. That the fairy tale of what they think to be Christmas might be seen for what it is, truth understood, and believed.
I will include video and pictures of how the talent show went in a Christmas email. Thank you for your prayer, as this is always a time of beautiful fun and fellowship with many families from the community. The kids were great, and we had three youth not part of the youth group come and ask if they could join us next year! That is another huge answer to prayer!
The National staff conference in Nanimo BC was a beautiful time of uninhibited sharing, God anointed planning, and personal revelation. When surrounded by beauty as breathtaking as the mountains and lakes in Nanimo, one cannot help but be overwhelmed by the voice of God. It is humbling to be at the table with some of the best strategic thinkers in youth ministry not just in Canada, but internationally. To learn, to hear, to have a say, and input into shaping strategy for future generations is such a joy, and honour.
Please continue to pray for these strategies at the national level. Growth is happening at such a quick rate with YFC Canada that the National team needs to grow with it. Please pray for the right fits, for discernment in the process, grace for one another, and for Gods continued guided favour.
