Count Down to NYGO

The NYGO Team will be meeting here at the church in less than one hour. Thirty-one NMC Students + 2 Student Leaders + 7 NLF Students + 11 incredible Leaders = one God-sized adventure!

Students will not only have an opportunity to be poured into by some incredible teachers, but they will also be challenged to take Jesus to the streets of New York, going out & simply loving others. But this trip is only going to be a trip if they go at it alone. They have to expect God to move & they have to be willing to join Him. And we have to expect God to move in their lives & it's our responsibility to cover them each individually & as a team, in prayer.

Let's pray that God will move in miraculous ways both in their lives & in the lives of those they come into contact with.

Let's pray for God's Spirit to pour out all over New York City, & let's pray that these students & leaders would sense the move of God & have the boldness to join in the work that He is already doing there.

Let's pray that the leaders would have strength & discernment in leading this team. Let's pray that they will stay rested & be encouraged daily.

Let's pray that this team would be filled with boldness as they take God's love out into the streets. Let's pray that seeds would be planted in the hearts of the people they share with & love on.

Let's pray that this trip would not just be another trip but that it would be a life-changing experience. Let's pray that as this team comes back home next week that they would continue to wrestle through what God is teaching them & what God is wanting to do in each one of their lives.

Let's pray that God would give this team a vision of what He has in store for them over this next year. Let's pray that God would give each student a renewed passion for reaching out to their families, their friends, & in their schools.

Let's come behind this team every day in prayer!
