The Administrative Council of NWYM is issuing a call to greater prayer in our community! Our prayer emphasis theme is “Let Us Come Boldly” (Hebrews 4:16). What a fun journey this is going to be! Our hope is to draw together by lifting one another up to the Lord and seeing God’s power at work when we join forces in prayer. One way we will be doing this is through a weekly list with suggestions for prayer. We will post a new list here each week. If you have requests or answers to prayer, please let us know by contacting Tresa Redford (tresa89@msn.com) or Lana Thurston (lanat_9@msn.com).
If you would like to know what people need prayer for, or how prayer is being answered for others in the YM, please follow the below links:
