Partnering in Prayer for Teen Haven

Teen Haven is excited for another season to welcome urban youth to attend the city programs in Lancaster, Philadelphia, and York. We'd like to share some specific situations to lift up in your prayers for the youth who attend Teen Haven.

- Oddet Mears, Philadelphia Girls Program Coordinator, shares, It seems like each week I hear about a girl who has had to leave her home, because of behavioral issues. Four of my Teen Haven bible study girls will not be returning at this time because of these issues. Please join in prayer that these young women would feel the love and support of God, and understand their need for one another! Also pray, for parents and youth to believe in the authority of God’s Word.

- John Schleh, Philadelphia Boys Program Cooridinator, shares, My prayer request is regarding the beginnings of Bible study for the boys and girls in Philadelphia. It is very hectic picking up a very large number ( praise the Lord ) of youth from all over. Pray that they will be cooperative and desire to be discipled. Pray for wisdom on the part of me, Curt Saxton, Brian Mincer, Oddet and Joyce in dealing with many new teens and getting them going on quiet times and memory verses, being patient and encouraging. For their heart response to the Lord.

Ephesians 1:15-19
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

Thank you for your PRAYERS, to remember the urban youth of Teen Haven!
