Prayer crosses social distancing like nothing else can.

Usually at this time on a Monday morning the trustee board of Llandudno Youth for Christ meet at the office to pray. For thirty minutes, we begin each week by handing it over to God. That’s amazing right?

Do you know when else we pray?

Every Wednesday as an office team, every Thursday before and after Reverb and Recess, every Friday before and after Shuffle and Shake, and every Sunday before and after Redefine. We also have monthly prayer meetings, bi-annual prayer gatherings, and special prayer events. We include prayer in all of our projects and encourage all of our team members to ‘intercede’ as they walk around during sessions.

We love to pray!

The apostle Paul loved to pray too. His prayers always trusted that God was powerful enough to answer them (Phil. 1:19), were always saturated in thanksgiving and gratitude (Col. 3:15-17), and always pointed towards sharing the gospel of Jesus (Eph. 6:19-20).

Paul also saw prayer as a way of teaming up with other people to unite for one mission (Rom. 15:30). Prayer unites us under on goal – to see the world know God through Jesus.

One of the things that I’m missing most at the moment as the Centre Director is meeting with team and supporters to pray together. Knowing that nothing relies on my strength but on on God’s, petitioned through the help, support, and united prayers of so many faithful Christians is simply amazing.

I miss meeting with you all to pray – but that doesn’t mean our prayers don’t work the same way. When we pray, we are still united in one mission to see young people meet with Jesus. We still are seeking Jesus together to see Him known – so we are still doing this together.

This is a very long-winded way of saying just one thing:

Please keep praying!

We need your prayers right now, and the young people really do. Your prayers never fall on death ears, they always reach the creator of the universe, and He cares immensely for what we ask of Him.

So please keep praying for us. Not only will it bring us together in unity at this very separate time, it will keep the gospel flowing out and reaching young people.

All the best!

Tim
