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.
