Prayer eNotes - Aug 30

It is mind-boggling to know what has happened in the Northeast since we last wrote to you.  The earthquake in Virginia was felt here and even by some on Cape Cod where we were spending our vacation.  Then Sunday brought Hurricane Irene...and breath-taking devastation across our area.  We were spared completely, thankfully, but know that many areas where other YFC staff live are still without power and some river waters continue to rise.

We know you've been praying much over these past few days - thank you!  Now on to this week's prayer notes:

Blazefest was AMAZING!  What a privilege to witness many kids make a commitment to Jesus Christ Friday morning.  We are so grateful for the outreach on Saturday at Jerry Burrell Park...what a beautiful day to celebrate and honor the kids involved in Blazefest and to see and here them perform. Thank you for praying!

The next edition of News from YFC will give you a building update, but we PRAISE GOD that we close on our mortgage loan tomorrow!  And, there is someone who is apparently VERY interested in purchasing our current office building - that would be a great answer to prayer in the current economy.

Janet starts work at LCS this Thursday and the boys start their new school year in one week.  We are so proud of Caleb and his entering his senior year!  Josh's jobs continue to go well...pray for direction for him.

Fall brings us to a much busier time of year.  Weekly club ministries kick off.  We're are in the midst of planning the Excel and Break Out conferences; planning the move to the new building; developing the annual banquets and continuing to build new partnerships with local individuals and churches in order to strengthen YFC's prayer and financial backbones.  

Please pray that God would raise up at least 40 new donors for us in the next 10 months.  YFC's cash flow is VERY tight at this time and we need to continue to see new donors step up and step into supporting this ministry.

As we move through the next few months, would you commit to sharing our prayer needs with just one other person or couple whom you know?  That would be a huge blessing to us.  THANK YOU for praying.

God bless you!

In Christ,  

Dave & Janet Lenehan
