God's provision for YMOVE and request for prayer.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
praise the Lord for His provision for YMOVE! As I may have shared with some of you, and as some of you may be aware, we opened another round of application for YMOVE, and at that time, we were short on leaders and people who could play the guitar. There was also a need for someone with experience in children's ministry for those who were going to stay over Christmas.
Well, four people signed up--2 leaders, and 2 youths who can play the guitar! One of these youths (not from our church, but has been to our YM camps) is also experienced with children's ministry in her own church! God is so good!
For myself, being head of ym missions has been pretty difficult, with the heavy demands of my school work I have always felt helpless to do much sometimes, and often things were not ideal as I deemed it. Some of you have prayed for me and the word from the Lord has been to just trust in Him. I have learnt through the Lord's provision that it is He who will move us by His Spirit. Shaocai and I just met to pray and discuss the trip, and we both were in agreement that in the space of one week, the shape of the team looks very different!
Now we have two teams of 15 youths and leaders, with one team staying in Lopburi and another team going up to Suphanburi to help out with a Christmas outreach in public schools for a few days before joining us back in Lopburi. It has bee really amazing and I am really excited about what God is going to do in the lives of our youths. Many of them are youths in the key sub-ministries of YM and ...well, I am just quite speechless now. Last year, the year of People of True Worship and Prayer, the Lord blessed YM in our worship and by teaching us how to pray. this year is the year People of the Great Commission and I am already excited to see what the Lord is doing in His faithfulness to Wesley MC.
Fellow leaders, I would like to ask of you to prayerfully consider supporting the team in prayer. Perhaps you could each commit to adopt a tripper to pray for him/her throughout the trip (and before too!). We need all the prayer support we can get, because the Lord is going to do a mighty thing in our ministry, not just through YMOVE, but also through the YM Camp and the Musical! And there is bound to be spiritual conflict. If you feel led to pray for our team (or an individual), please drop me a short note through email (jiemin11@singnet.com.sg) and I will keep you in the loop of any latest news.
May we in YM keep on persevering in the Lord, for we know that He is faithful, and our labour in Him is not in vain!
God bless!

This prayer blog is started to help us in Wesley Youth Ministry have a collective journal of God's dealings with each and every one of us. In time to come this blog will be a testimony to God's faithfulness to YM, as we look back through the months and the years and see in hindsight how the Lord has been working in and through us.
If you feel that you have anything to contribute to the blog, to give thanks to God for answered prayer, to encourage the body of Christ, or share what God has been speaking to you through prayer and QT, please email your entry to jiemin11@singnet.com.sg and include your name as you would like it to appear on the blog.
God bless you!
