Prayer e-Notes

Good afternoon!  I hope your day is going great.  It's certainly wonderful to have the sun back with us after so much rain.  If you don't live in upstate NY, you've probably at least seen news reports about the vast areas of flooding.  Many have lost homes, businesses, crops and so many memories.

In the midst of these tragedies, we've also seen the Christian community step up and help...providing resources, help in clean up, places to stay, meals and more.  It's a privilege to see men and women of God live out their faith so practically.

As we move into this new school year, there are some new and some familiar things that we would ask you to be in prayer about:
1) pray for our Campus Life, Teen Parents and City Life staff and volunteers as they begin their weekly clubs this month.  Pray for connections to new kids. Pray for the Lord to raise up many much-needed volunteers.
2) pray for the construction of our new building in Halfmoon.  Often, it does seem to be progressing rapidly, but we have a couple of months work left and we need to raise $1.5 million to complete it!  God's resources can provide.
3) as you pray for the funding of the new rec center,please pray that God would also raise up or point us to new staff.  There are so many possibilities for the use of the new facility to reach more kids with the Gospel message, but our staff cannot do that alone...we need to build our team as well.
4) on a personal note, pray for Andrew and Caleb as they settle in to the new school year.  We are so thrilled that this is Caleb's senior year and we're praying for God's leading for his future at college.
5) more recently, Joshua's car suffered yet another mechanical malfunction, and at this point, we do not want to sink more $$ into it because of its age and mileage.  Please pray for the Lord to provide a replacement vehicle for Josh so he can continue getting to his two jobs easily.

 6) pray for Janet as she settles into a couple of new roles are her job at LCS.  Pray for wisdom and patience.

7) pray for Dave as he also takes on some new responsibilities at YFC and as he concentrates more on the planning for Excel and Break Out.

Thank you so much for being such a key part of this ministry team!  Your prayers, your giving, your telling others about YFC helps us in so many ways.  Thank you for taking on your role in the mission of "...for every kid, one at a time."

God bless you!

In Christ,  

Dave & Janet Lenehan
