Prayer Updates — Winter 2025

 

A Prayer Letter


Over the last several years, I have been serving in a ministry which is a Faith-based & donor supported.


Youth for Christ is a national ministry to young people. This ministry serves to partner with the community and local schools to provide relational ministry to young people. 


I send this as an invitation to pray. I believe that God is blessing the work with young people. Your assistance is vital. . 


Here are a few things to pray for

Faith - Finances - Future 


Faith — Youth for Christ is a faith-based ministry. Pray for… 

  • Our team builds “Relational Ministry Appointments.”

  • Pray for opportunities to share hope.

  • Pray for students impacted through 3Story.

———————-


Finances — Please pray for resources to cover costs for our ministry; grateful for your support.

Pray for…

  • More faithful contributors. 

  • Pray for communities needing support. 

  • New resources to grow ministry staff.

  • Check out our financial details. 

———————-


Future — We need  strength in 2025!

Pray for…

  • Students who struggle with anxieties.

  • Many students have difficult home lives. 

  • The future feels uncertain for young people.


  • As they grow, pray that they would take hold of the incredible benefit of being a child of God.

  • Pray for students with addictive behaviors.

Many students were impacts by Winter Camp weekend in December. 


Please, let’s stay in touch. Also, let me know how I can pray for you.


My word of the year is “WATCH.” 

Psa. 34:15-18 NLT || The eyes of the Lord WATCH over those who do right; His ears are open to their cries for help.


Please pray for me as I give more attention to a developing area in Warsaw, IN while also working with four other counties in my communities.  


Pray for opportunities filled by “divine appointments” and growth of resources. 


Also, pray for more mission support as I need to be fully funded this year. 


Blessed, Rick
