Wilson leads us in prayer this week, on the vital topic of youth empowerment...

Give thanks for the many young people we have the opportunity and privilege to connect with on a weekly basis through Groups.

Celebrate the uniqueness and gifts of those young people we serve and give thanks for the many lessons we can learn from them and their experiences.

Pray for discernment as we explore, as an organisation, how we can listen better to young people and be responsive and agile to their thoughts, ideas and experiences.

This week, please pray for these Urban Saints Groups: Granborough / Reading College / Reading, Weller Centre / Thame / Trowbridge (...and check out this story from last year from the Group at Trowbridge too: urbansaints.org/news/858)

Pray for opportunities across our whole movement for young people to be able to freely speak and have their voice meaningfully shape us as we seek to extend Christ’s Kingdom.

Pray that, as a movement, we would speak up boldly with, and for, young people across the nations.

Pray for young people that they would discover all that God has created them to be and walk in the authority He has given each of them.

Pray that God would lead us into new and creative ways to fulfil what he has called us into as a movement. Pray also we would be a movement not afraid to take risks in order that young people have an opportunity to thrive and flourish.

This week please join us in prayer for safety and protection right across the Urban Saints movement...

Please pray for all weekly Urban Saints Groups - check out the full list here: urbansaints.org/find-a-group. May their Leaders, children and young people know God’s protection and safety as they meet.

Please pray for all of the Camps being planned. Ask God for safety and protection over all involved.

Please pray for all of the volunteers who give their time in weekly Groups, Camps, events, committees and much more. May God grant them safety, protection and good health as they faithfully serve.

This week, please pray for these Urban Saints Groups in the South West Region: Bransgore Community Church / Exeter Stoke Valley / Tiverton / Torrington / Yatton

Please pray for safety and protection for the paid Team, especially as they travel. Pray that God will guard them and their families as they serve Him across the UK and Ireland.

In an increasingly hostile society, please pray for protection and safety for Urban Saints from malicious and unwarranted attacks, including legally, reputationally, financially or in any other way.

Please pray for all of the buildings and campsites that Urban Saints own or manage. Pray that all who use these places will do so safely, happily and will be blessed through their use. Ask for protection of these buildings and sites from harm or incident.

Thank God for His blessing as He has protected us and for all of the many ways that He has kept us from harm. Ask Him to continue to protect and keep us safe in 2023.
