Will you pray with us?
Paul wrote in Philippians, 'In everything by Prayer'. There are impossible challenges in our country and we need God to act more than anything. Every day our teams pray together asking God to bless our Groups, volunteers and young people. We believe we can reach a generation of young people, thanks to your prayers, so please join in.

Prayer Requests
We have put together some key requests for prayer and would encourage you to join with us in praying for the young people across the United Kingdom and Ireland and for our ongoing ministry.
-
Give thanks for the Gospel message.
-
Give thanks for Albert Kestin’s vision and the mission-focused pioneers in the early years.
-
Give thanks for how God has blessed Crusaders/Urban Saints, especially through dedicated leaders – giving glory to God.
-
Give thanks that God is still using Urban Saints after 120 years to reach out to children and young people.
-
Pray for the children and young people we would usually be connecting with – that they will be built up in the current situation, adapting to being back at school and getting used to new ways of working; pray for their health and wellbeing. Pray for the young people who are unsettled by the extraordinary circumstances we are living in and that we can still find ways to help our volunteers to inspire hope.
-
Pray for the volunteer leaders and helpers in our Groups; give thanks for those who maintained contact this year either digitally or in other ways, and pray for those Groups where this was not possible.
-
At this time of Halloween, give thanks that Jesus is our light and remember that He overcomes the evil one. Pray that this reality is known to the children and young people in our Groups. Pray for Groups who have arranged light parties either online or face to face.
-
Pray for continuing follow up of the children and young people who have not been in contact recently to avoid them falling away.
-
Pray for protection upon all our volunteers and staff. Urban Saints is about people of all ages and all stages of life, so let’s pray for the safety of everyone who is a part of the Urban Saints movement.
-
Ask the Lord to send the coronavirus away swiftly.
-
Pray for the wider Urban Saints ministry areas: Camps (including Sprees), Westbrook, Overseas, Additional Needs and Energize as they explore what ministry looks like throughout the next year.
-
Pray for inspiration and wisdom as we explore different ways to continue the discipleship of young people, even when face to face contact may be limited.
