YFC update

I have to admit to being lazy, I've just copied and pasted the prayer e-mail my boss sends out to our prayer list to update you all on what's going on;

Greetings, and welcome to the YFC Praise and Prayer report! It has been quite a week here for us!

Thank you for your prayer for our YFC banquet last Monday. God answered our prayers in wonderful ways - we had our largest crowd yet, 426 people (that is more than the 50 tables x 8 people we were hoping for). Interestingly, we had raised from corporate sponsors that exact amount to purchase the ticket price of the meal! We had many comments from people that the program was perhaps the best yet, and the offering given that night was the biggest yet. All in all we are very thankful!!

Now our full attention turns to our California Tour which leaves in a month. We have 149 youth signed up and have room for 11 more. We are trying to confirm with our last few volunteer staff needed for the trip. Please pray for James and the team as they prepare.

Please pray for Chris, one of our admin staff, who is on medical leave right now for a few months. Pray that she will regain her health and also for us that we can find the help needed to fill her role.

Please pray for the youth that went on the Project Serve trips. It can be difficult for them as they come back into Canada from such a moving experience. Some of them made very important life decisions, so pray that God will continue to work in their hearts and that they would be effective ministers here.

Thanks so much for your prayers on our behalf, Gil Klassen, For the SYFC team
