A week of prayer for young people
All this week, the organisers of next Saturday's Youth Work Summit event (which include Premier Youthwork) are inviting you to join them in praying for the young people of the UK. You can find out a bit more about the idea here. Each day, we'll be posting a few prayer pointers on here, as well as suggesting some of the people and organisations that you might like to join us in praying for who work in that area.
Today, around 1,000 youth workers and youth specialists will gather in Manchester for the fifth annual Youth Work Summit. So while we're all there, why not encourage your young people to pray for you! You might want to share the following prayer points with them through your usual communications channels.
Pray for youth work - prayer pointers:
- Please pray for the many youth workers from all across the UK, gathering today for the Youth Work Summit. Pray that they would be inspired with new ideas and refreshed by the presence of God; that they'd make new friends and dream new visions.
- Pray for your youth work leaders and helpers - that they would experience God in their own lives, that they'd be able to live balanced lives with plenty of time for relaxation and healthy relationships, and that they'd feel well-equipped to lead you.
- Pray for your church, that it would be supportive of, and look after, your youth leaders.
Feel free to adapt the above. If they're praying, they might want to encourage you by using the hashtag for the Youth Work Summit: #yws14
