SURF THE WAVE at OAKWOOD – PRAYER POINTS

Monday, 8th – Sunday, 14th August 2011

OUTLINE OF THE WEEK:

Surf the Wave is a residential event for youth (aged 12-18 years). The response has been tremendous – we are over-full, with 55 young people signed up for a week of fun and getting to know Jesus!

The event will be held at the ‘Oakwood Youth’ centre in Berkshire. We are excited by the new venue! It’s a great centre with many outward bound activities on offer, such as horse riding, mountain boarding and high ropes.

The meeting areas both inside and out have huge potential! Every evening we will all gather together in ‘The Octagon’ meeting room to focus on Jesus through worship, testimony and learning from Him in different ways. Most mornings will include an opportunity to reflect on the teaching from the night before and ask questions.

Please pray for:

  • Our final preparations and for good health for the leaders; Debbie Jarvis, a key worker was rushed into hospital last week and is now recuperating;
  • All the young people to feel accepted, that there will be a sense of family and everyone will feel loved and blessed. Many of the young people are coming from unchurched backgrounds – praise God!
  • The youth band who are coming especially to lead worship, that all the meetings will provide real encounters with God as well as being fun, fresh and Holy Spirit-led;
  • Safety, good health and sufficient energy levels for all during the different activities planned at Oakwood and beyond;
  • The Lord’s name to be lifted up and for His Kingdom to be extended!
