I forgot one more very important prayer request! This week I am interviewing two promising candidates for our Sports Ministry Director position. Prayer for guidance and discernment. Also, for safety as I travel to the Hamilton area to interview one of the candidates on Saturday. - Tony
Hello <<First Name>>,
Thank you for surrounding our ministry in prayer! We cannot effectively do the work of God without your prayer support.
This month's prayer requests:
Ongoing Programs
In the past two months we have seen multiple youth engage deeper, express more interest in, and request one-on-one mentoring as they lean in towards Jesus. This is happening in Created to Create, Hockey Chaplaincy and Cheer Crew.
Please pray for open doors to share the love of Jesus in meaningful ways.
In February we begin planning our summer day camps with Northumberland Promise. Prayer for guidance and creativity as we meet together.
Jan. 27-29 - Eastern Region Retreat
Together with the Kawartha YFC chapter, we are co-hosting YFC Canada's Eastern Region Retreat here in Cobourg! We are expecting 185 YFC staff from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes to invade the Best Western and Fellowship Baptist Church.
Please pray that all details will come together so that we can best serve our YFC family as we "Discover Boldness" together.
During the retreat, please pray that attendees would be encouraged, equipped and empowered to live out their calling in the places God has them.
Feb. 7-9 - WINRE
I (Tony) will be speaking at a youth retreat at Joy Bible Camp in Bancroft. High school aged youth from a variety of Alliance churches (including Cobourg Alliance) and Joy Bible Camp will be attending WINRE.
Please pray for God's leading as I plan and write four messages in the next few weeks. The theme is Unite.
During the retreat, please pray for open hearts and minds. I deeply desire youth to know and follow Jesus - living fully in Christ with courage and passion!
April (TBD) - Faith Out Loud Walk-A-Thon
We are working with five local church youth groups to raise funds for Ed's House. Ed's House is the new (being built) hospice centre in Cobourg.
Please pray that planning will go well and that youth will engage in this great community service opportunity. We are hoping to raise over $5000!
Thank you again surrounding our ministry with prayer!
In Christ,
Tony Posthumus, Executive Director
