Tuesday – Pray for meetings this morning with Jackie Nemec, Bethlehem Campus Life Director and with a potential volunteer after my meeting with Jackie.

Continue to ask God to bless this ministry with the financial resources needed to pay our bills and staff on time each pay period this year.  Praise God for His provision during the last 8 months. (My ministry budget is behind where it should be coming out of February).

Wednesday – Pray for our staff as we meet this morning for our weekly staff meeting.  Pray for my meeting with a local youth leader this afternoon.

Pray with us at YFC as we are seeking God to lead us to the next person to become our Parent Life Director.

Praise God for His gift of salvation!

Saturday – I have been invited and accepted to attend a two day training in Denver in April that will help me grow in my role as a ministry coach.  Part of the money to cover this unexpected opportunity has been provided but not all.  Please pray with me for the remaining monies to be provided (about $350).    Pray also for me to find the time to effectively prepare for this training as there is some prep work that needs to be completed.

Sunday – Praise God!  Thank You Jesus! Come Holy Spirit! Lift up the name of Jesus with other followers of Jesus today.

Monday – Continue to pray for our ministry teams throughout the greater Capital Region as each week we build relationships with teens and share the hope that comes from knowing God through Jesus.  Pray for our teams in Albany, Schenectady, Cambridge, East Dorset, Scotia-Glenville, Greenville, Clifton Park, Averill Park and Bethlehem.

Pray for the staff and volunteers that will be taking extended time this week to be in relationship with teens.
