Please pray for our youth

Last night was a pretty eye-opening experience for me. IHOPE led a healing prayer service at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) for a group called InterVarsity. We have built relationship with this Christian group over the last couple of months and they invited us to come and worship with/for them. Amy led worship with some musicians and I did Power Point and ministry team. Which brings me to the point of this post. Our youth need your prayers!

Last night I was able to pray for two women, one had tried to commit suicide earlier that week and the other had taken up cutting herself to try and cope with sexual abuse that she endured when she was a child. Both were professing Christians. Both were being harassed by the enemy. Both were not living in the fullness that God has for them.

And these are just a couple of many. In our Wednesday Night youth group I have talked to young girls who are using sex to get their relational needs met, a young man who struggles with his sexual identity and another gal who has an abusive and alcoholic father. The Kingdom of Heaven is crashing against the gates of Hell "And the Gates of Hell shall not overcome." But we need your help, we need your prayers.

Please take five minutes to pray for Wartburg, UNI and the kids in our youth group. Thank you.
