"The harvest is plentiful..."

Although CEF's Summer Training Institute is still 6 months away this is the time of year that I travel around the province (usually no more than 2 hours drive outside of the GTA) speaking to youth groups and high school fellowships challenging young people to spend their summer serving God.

This year, more than others, I feel a tremendous burden to find as many young people to serve with us as possible.  We have so many churches wanting to reach out to children in their communities needing help, they just don't have the experience our young people.  It's frustrating to know that the only thing holding the ministry back from reaching more children for Jesus is the young people that serve with us.

In the past 7 years as youth director of CEF the most CYIA we've ever had is 51.  This year I am believing God for 60 people.  With the thousands of Christian teenagers in Ontario surely we can find 60 who are willing to serve Him.

I've already completed a few youth speaking engagements and have a number of them coming up in the next few weeks.  Would you please pray that God would call young people to serve with us?  Can you provide me with an opportunity to share about CEF's summer missions opportunity with the youth you know?
