This Friday the Church of the Redeemer Youth Group will be going on its first weekend retreat! The adult staff and youth are both excited for the chance to get out of the city to have fun and experience God in the calm of Big Bear Lake, CA. As we prepare to head out this Friday, we welcome your prayers:
- Please pray for our retreat speaker Alberto Oros as he prepares his talks for the weekend. Pray that God would use Alberto to really speak powerfully into the lives of our youth.
- Please pray that nothing would hinder the youth from making it on Friday to our scheduled departure at 4:00 pm. Thus far we have 15 youth who have paid and submitted their forms to come, praise the Lord!
- Please pray for God to soften the hearts of the youth. Our hope is that the time away from the city will allow for a deep experience of God that leads to deeper relationship with Him when they return to LA.
- Please pray for safety in travel and and camp
- Pray against the work of the enemy and anyway in which he may discourage or confuse or hinder the work of God this weekend
- Please pray for our adult staff to have energy and joy as we serve, pastor and play with the youth this weekend. Our adult staff include: Richard Louie, Casey Taylor, Stacie Paz, Eddie Ko, Heather Fong and myself, Elliot Ling
- Here's also a listing of the youth by name in case you're interested in praying for them specifically: Justin Wiley, Damio'n Horsley, Jamie Francia, Robby Soria, Gerson Hernandez, Elizabeth Hernandez, Gladis Belloso, Flor Hernandez, Carina Carvajal, Jamal Hopes, Joseph McCullough, Jose Palacios, Anthony Valenzuela, Carlos De La Roca, Sarah De La Roca and Carla De La Roca.
I'm looking forward with anticipation and excitement - thanks for your partnership and prayers!
grace and peace,
Elliot
