Hi, ::first_name::

Welcome to the December edition of our youth newsletter. 👇

'I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.' (Psalm 130:5)

This month, join us in praying that our young people would be filled with hope—not just wishful thinking, but a confident assurance rooted in the truth of God’s Word, equipping them to face life’s challenges and enabling them to be sure of their future in Christ.

If you have any specific prayer requests for the young people in your family please get in touch.
