Youth

Our church has a youth group!

It meets once or twice each month on Saturdays. The first meeting was on September 9. Those attending are all junior and senior high school students.

Pastor Joshua’s wife, Ilaine, leads with help from our intern pastor.

The youth attend different schools, with many living at school. Most of the schools plan compulsory activities on Sundays. This means they are unable to attend church services. The youth group is one way to have opportunity to interact with the students about spiritual matters.

Please pray for our youth. There is tremendous academic pressure. They have limited time to spend with family and to attend church activities. Pray that God will help them to have strong faith in Him.

Praise and Prayer

  • We were surprised when a realtor appeared at our door. After talking with our landlord, they have decided to wait until the end of our term in 2026 to sell the house where we are living. Praise the Lord with us for this provision.
  • A number of pastors are working toward being ordained. Completing a required reading list and writing a thesis on an assigned topic are two of the requirements.  Please pray for Pastor Joshua and others as they work toward this important goal.
  • Walking through our community enables us to have conversations with different people. Please pray for opportunities to share with them about doing life with Christ.
