We wanted to share some pictures of the Clean up today in Prescott... Feeling so blessed to be part of such a great community with such a wonderful group of youth! Thank you for sharing in this with us!
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.
"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning..." John 15:25-26
ALPHA WEEKEND AWAY: April 7 to April 8
The Alpha weekend exists for youth to be taught about, and experience the work of the Holy Spirit. On Tuesday (April 4) we will receive an introduction of what to expect in our time away together. For thousands of people this weekend has been a significant time in time for their relationship with God. Please spend some time reflecting on what that moment was like for you, and pray for the next generation of believers.
"Jesus said 'if anyone is thirsty, let him come to me.' So what we need is thirst of the Holy Spirit, not fear of the Holy Spirit." Father Raniero Cantalamessa, (Personal preacher to the Pope since 1980)
Prayer Needs for the week to come...
April 2, from 3:30-5 pm
We have the honour of serving the churches in Cardinal by helping to plan VBS for the summer of 2017. Please pray for the churches who continually open their lives to the families in Cardinal. Pray that a clear, unified vision is known, and for a new group of people to be welcomed into the kingdom.
April 4, 2017
LIT is a group of three Sr. High girls that organise various events and use Biblical concepts in leading other youth. We meet every Tuesday after school. Please pray for relationships to grow, and our minds to be open for what God wants us to do, and how He would like us to do it.
Week of April 3-7, 2017
This week we will be connecting with 5 high schools about the potential of having youth attend Leadercast on May 5. These meetings are potential in roads for Upper Canada YFC in to the high schools of Brockville, Athens, and Prescott. Please pray for favour with the Principals as they hold the power to allow us into the schools.
Monday April 10, 2017
The women's group of Johnstown United Church has asked us to speak about what God is doing with YFC in Upper Canada, and lead worship with some of our youth. This time will run from 7-9 pm if anyone is interested in joining us for a time of fellowship. Please pray that these women catch the heart of what we are doing, and have a desire to join us.
Youth for Christ workers must raise their own salaries and ministry budgets, much like missionaries in other countries. We ask that you would ask God is this is a ministry He would have you invest in. Thank you for seeing the need, as we bless the youth together in Upper Canada.
