I firmly believe in the power of prayer. In my 19 years of being a Christian the places I have seen the power at work the most has been in and through short term mission trips. At Youthmark we have believed in it enough to invest in creating blog-software on our site so that each YMV team could have their own blog to get people praying for the specifics of their training, mission and follow-thru.
Here’s where you come in! Would you be willing to adopt a team or two (or more). Don’t hesitate to comment on this blog with the teams you’ll be praying for. I have encouraged all of the Youth Pastors to keep up with their blog, though this is not a requirement, so some of you prayer saints will be praying with more detail than others. Thank you for your faithfulness. To access the blogs of each of the teams go to this site. I have my Youthmark blog there as well.
Here are the teams and a few of the details. Let the adoptions begin! (Don’t hesitate from picking teams that others have already picked, we want as many as possible praying… sit back, pray and you’ll be amazed at how detailed His answers are)! Spread the word!
