During my young adult years, prayer and intercession were the area that I often found myself ministering in. As I raised my family, I became more focused on my children and working with children with special needs. However, I am now finding my love for prayer, spending time with Jesus and holding others up before Him has returned in a significant way.<\/p>\n<p>As this calling has begun to rise up in me, and knowing that Youth for Christ South Island has been without a prayer coordinator for the last few years, I began to consider taking on this responsibility. I believe that ministries, ministers and their families need to be bathed in prayer to be as effective as they can be in advancing the Kingdom of God. I contacted the YFC Board regarding this direction and, after meeting with them, I am excited and honoured to be invited to serve YFC South Island with this ministry.<\/p>\n<p>A couple verses that are close to my heart are simply: 1 Thessalonians 5:17, \u201cPray without ceasing\u201d and 2 Chronicles 7:14, \u201cIf my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.\u201d I know that God\u2019s promises are true and when He answers the prayers of His people, others will be set free and His Kingdom will expand.<\/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},"author":19,"featured_media":2226,"parent":0,"template":"","department":[16],"class_list":["post-1901","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/1901","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/1901\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/south-island\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/department?post=1901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
