Can I be honest with you? I'm actually not into prayer. I’m into Jesus, so we talk. I don’t believe in the power of prayer. I believe in the power of God. So I ask for his help. A lot. I'm not into evangelism. I hate evangelism! I'm into Jesus. So I talk to people about him.

A prayer on the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh:

Please do read our Evangelical Alliance interview with my friend Agu Irukwu as he expresses concern about the erosion of fairness & freedom of religion after Keir Starmer apologised for visiting Jesus House eauk.org/news-and-views…

It is the school holidays and we pray that children and young people will be enjoying some time off. Pray that we will be able to offer Camps this summer and include as many young people as possible.

As we look ahead to the rest of the year, we put our trust in God for Urban Saints and for the young people we support. Pray that we will continue to look to Jesus in all we do, just as the thousands who have gone before us have done.

“He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (3:20) Cry out to the Lord today for children & young people. Pray for breakthrough in their lives, for those facing difficult family situations; for schools & communities, that more would come to know Jesus.

I am sickened by the racist abuse aimed at England players after last night’s match. It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour. It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable. W

Celebrating our new graduate Becca: "I began my CYM journey with 2 A-Levels graded E & U, thinking I couldn’t achieve anything. Now I finish with a 1st-class honours degree, a bunch of new friends and a new job in ministry. CYM has given me so much. I couldn’t recommend it more."

Pray that children and young people with additional needs will find an accessible and inclusive Group that they can belong to. Pray that no young person will be turned away and that each of them will be loved. Mark Arnold

It didn’t take a village but it took a family (with us & departed), a wonderful employer (Reach), a grafting husband who arrived in UK in only the shirt on his back, an ethical landlord of 16 years, and faith in God, to enable us to buy our home in Tunbridge Wells on Friday! 🥳🙏

Ask God to help us make every possible connection to churches and individuals that need our help to make young disciples for Christ. From advertising, events, personal recommendations, pray that they all help us spread the word about Urban Saints.

Volunteer youth workers are an essential part of youth ministry – but what do you do if they've had enough? This article about creating a healthy culture amongst our volunteer youth workers is important as a new term begins.

Pray that God will help us make the best possible use of digital tools and platforms to support young people digitally, encourage community online and resource churches using social media.

For Scotland, pray that the desire for new Groups may come out of the isolation of the last 18 months.
