Countdown to 2018...

Empowering the local church to help youth make an informed decision to become a follower of Jesus and disciple the into the body of Christ. Countdown to Wisdom, 2018 "Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do." (Joshua 1:8) In studying the Word of God, we are given an infinite measure of timeless wisdom. It is the #1 thing we tell youth... "Read this book, and you will be lightyears ahead of your peers. If you want to hear from, know and experience God; his likes and dislikes, you have to look in its pages." We extend the same challenge to you, our coworkers in Christ... for an infinite amount of wisdom that you can apply to your life, read your Bible daily. Start this new habit in 2018. You will find answers to questions that open up new understanding and wisdom beyond your own comprehension. What is the most important thing you learned in  2017 ??? "That God still talks to people today" (male, 14) "No matter what, there is a God who will always listen to what you have to say and to never be afraid to ask questions about Him." (Female, age 16) "That there is an answer for every question in the Bible" (Female, age 15) "That you are second, and God is first in every situation" (Female, age 14) Thank you for being part of what our youth have learned in 2017. PRAYER 2018... Please continue to pray for the youth who will be leading Alpha in their schools beginning the last week in February 2018. There is still a lot of preparation work to be done. Please stand between the enemy and the youth, asking God to keep them close to His heart, for such a time as this. Preparations continue for the Youth Culture Seminar in February. Please pray for Paul Robertson, our speaker, and for the hearts of those planning to attend.

Call to day of Prayer

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. Call for day of Prayer and Fasting - Day of Prayer Response to Fletcher tragedy - August 2017

Dear Prayer partners for the Upper Canada Region, The team at Upper Canada YFC share this request with heavy hearts. Below, the explanation to the call for a day of prayer and fasting in response to some recent tragedies that have hit the Youth for Christ Canada family.    Dear YFC Family and our friends in the body of Christ,   I am writing to share tragic news involving our Mark Fletcher’s family (YFC Canada Board Chair). Mark and Cindy’s youngest son Aaron (19) took his own life on Tuesday night in Halifax. This tragedy would be more than most families could handle however it comes just 5 months on the heels of the sudden death of their eldest son Johathan (32) of a brain aneurysm. (Mark also serves on the Board of Compassion Canada)   This family needs our prayers!    "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”  2 Corinthians 1:3,4   In addition to this, we have felt a growing sense of urgency to pray for the Body of Christ across Canada. We are in a difficult time in history, and yet we are seeing things we haven’t seen in years as young people begin to gather in Jesus name from coast to coast.    We would encourage you to join us in a Day of Prayer and Fasting on Wednesday, August 16th, for the Fletcher Family (Mark & Cindy, Jessica, Abby, Becca, Jordan, and Laurissa), the ministries of Youth for Christ and Compassion Canada. Additionally pray for the movement of the Spirit of God on all our ministries across Canada. Every day is mission critical, but I think you may agree that there is a special urgency in these days.

Showing the Fathers Love...

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. Closer Still... Below, a few notes from the youth last Tuesday. We asked the youth to write down their favorite verses about God, and why they were a favorite. These notes were read out loud to break the power of isolation, and to share in one another's pain / healing... speaking a lie, and replacing it with a declaration of truth.

This week we will be talking about prayer and reminders of God's presence. We will ask the question, "Why do we pray?" Please pray that this group puts into practice what they learn tonight.
