Youth on Target with God’s Mission

Today I spent several hours helping my teenage son in one of the preparation phases for the summer ministry in which he will be participating. That gave me the idea to do a special TGP post requesting prayer for youth across our nation that are dedicating a portion of their summer break to making a difference for the kingdom of God. Let us join in prayer this evening for the Lord to bless them and protect them and make their ministries fruitful for eternity. May He open doors of evangelistic and discipleship opportunities, and use their experiences this summer as a catalyst for further work in His harvestfield around the world. May the good hand of our God be on the children and teens who love Him and are willing to step out in their communities for Him. Numbers 6:24-26.

Spencer, USA

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Spencer.

Spencer, Tennessee, is the location of Fall Creek Falls, a nearly 30,000 acre state park. On April 21-24, at the Piney Creek part of the park, a satanic festival is scheduled and being widely promoted.

The day before Jesus’ resurrection, perhaps the powers of darkness thought they had finally succeeded in their rebellion against the Lord of All. As the Lamb of God overcame then, He will always overcome darkness forevermore. Let us join with other Christians in prayer regarding this event (Ephesians 6:12):

  1. As the festival organizers are finalizing last-minute details over the next few days, pray for the Lord to bring their plans to naught, even to the extent that the festival would not occur.
  2. Pray for teens / young adults planning to attend out of curiosity to be divinely kept away, and to instead be redeemed by the power of Jesus Christ.
  3. Pray for spiritual and physical protection for park rangers and regular park visitors.
