It\u2019s Karen Bott here! On behalf of the People Development Team, I\u2019d like you to stay tuned for the launch of our newest e-pray initiative. This audio and visual prayer resource will guide you in prayer for yourself and for the youth we serve.<\/p>\n<p>This audio recording begins with a welcoming prayer exercise to help us focus.<\/p>\n<p>It also includes short passages of Scripture to help us reflect on our lives and to focus our prayers for young people.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll feature various voices within Youth For Christ Canada, so don\u2019t be surprised if we ask you to contribute! We do hope this resource will be helpful to you individually or with a group of volunteers before a program or at the start of a staff meeting. It\u2019s really up to you how you use it. Stay tuned for our first recording in the first e-pray in April.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings, all, and thanks for listening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n<section class=\"y-columned-content white one center  guten-block\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"grid-narrow\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-columned-content--inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-columned-content--column y-color-responsive-text\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/resources\/epray\/\">Return to ePray<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a class=\"button secondary\" href=\"#top\">Listen to this episode<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
