Pray for our Teens at Camp

Here is a list of the teenagers going to summer camp with us this year. God has used summer camp to do wonderful things in my life. I know that I am serving Him in full time ministry because of His calling on my life during summer camp in 2001. I know that just as God has dynamically worked in my life through summer camp, God is still in the heart changing business today. I am passionately seeking for God to do great things this week at camp. I also know that if we expect great things then we must also ask for Him to do great things. We all know that we have not because we ask not. Well don't let that be said of our church. Lets have wonderful God honoring teenagers, by asking God to work in their lives in the coming week.

Please make it a habit to pray for these teenagers both while they are at camp and as they return, because that is when satan will be fighting them even harder.

ALSO: It would be great if you would past a comment to the teenagers letting them know each time that you pray for them. I believe it would be a great encouragement to them as they come home and jump back into their routine.

The First Week of Prayer Requests:

Here is how we will organize this prayer list for now. We will keep it like this unless anyone comes to me with a better structure, but I think this will work. I will condense each persons prayer request to just a few words: If you want to know the details then you can go to the previous blog to find them. I will reorganize every few days so that we can stay on top of our prayer requests!

Kacey:
1. Friends Mom has terminal heart failure. (can we get a friends name?)
2. Family member going away from God.
3. Youth group will go to camp with an open heart.
4. Two teens in clearwater to stick to discions made at camp.

Pastor Lee:
1. Dad's Shoulder Surgery and Job
2. Teenagers going to camp
3. Spiritual growth during the next school year.
4. Core group of teenagers.
5. Pastor Lee's Family :)

Bethany:
1. Friend drifting from God.
2. Family member losing a relationship.
3. Cousin playing soccer in California.
4. More people in thier devotions!

Brooke:
1. Mothers Job at stake
2. Friend's (Ashley) mom has bad cancer.
3. Friend was abused.

Rachel:
1. Her brother to stay off drugs and support his new family.

Bree:
1. Friend who is involved in drugs and attempted suicide.

Tricia:
1. Her dad is going to Iraq. Pray for safety!
2. Friend will be going to public school this year. Pray for Godly friends.

Awesome! Try to pray for these as much as possible and we will add any new prayer requests in just a few more days!

Don't forget to THANK GOD FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HE IS DOING AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the PRAY 4 SUNCOAST YOUTH Blog

This new blog is designed for people who are serious about prayer. I am excited to see what God will do with a youth group that communicates with Him. Many of us have really grown allowing God to communicate with us through His word; but if you are like me, then it is not as easy to communicate back to Him.

As I have explained many times before... Communication is a two way street. It is great to read Gods word, but just as much as we want to hear from Him, HE WANTS TO HEAR FROM US!

So, We here at Suncoast Youth Group, believe that Prayer is important enough to design a place where we can talk about it, talk about our prayer requests, and most importantly: Talk to God.

I am excited about growing with each of you in this area of Daily Communication with our God through Prayer!
