Pray: Youth Evangelism Training Camp

This first week of June, I am taking some of my youth to an evangelism training camp.

Please pray for clarity and focus, a desire to grow in Christ, some fun, and to leave with a boldness to share the Gospel.

Our wonderful congregation even made it so that no one had to pay their own way to go! Praise God for that.
