• Praying for our youth, May through August. Pray that our youth would grow up to be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord, for the display of his splendor (Isaiah 61:3). Feel free to open your Bible to Isaiah 61 and continue praying that we - as a church - and our young people would take on Christ's ministry to the world as described in this chapter! Names for the week of June 18: Max Henderson and Rachel Nafziger.
