Seymour News - Clear Skies
Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read
As the St. Patrick’s Day 5k race drew near, the forecast looked gloomy. Windy. Cold. Overcast. Maybe even raining. Youth Challenge was a sponsor for the 5k, and we were adding items to the runners’ goodie-bags. It even rained the day before the race. However, there were clear skies the morning of the 5k. There were approximately 75 runners, and each received a St. Patrick’s Day themed gospel tractas well as information about upcoming camps. One runner received our journaling Bible of the New Testament with pens as a door prize. Thank you for your prayers for our first tract outreach event of the year!

Bible Quizzing Regionals
Youth Challenge is taking three teams to the regionals competition. I am coaching the third team, Veritas. Veritas means truth in Latin. Most of my quizzers have never been to a post-season competition, so this regionals is a fantastic learning opportunity!
Camp Machasay
Youth Challenge’s Camp Machasay schedule is out! Machasay means refuge in Hebrew. Our camp is designed to be a refuge for campers—a chance to disconnect from the outside world and connect with the Lord. We are hosting four camps for youth from grades K-10th. Adults, we are looking for volunteers to help run camp.
Thank you to those who have claimed a day to pray for us! If you haven't yet, would you consider joining my prayer team? I’m creating a monthly calendar so every day is covered in prayer. First, select an open day you’d like to pray for our ministry, like the first Tuesday. Next, fast from something on your prayer day—a meal, social media, coffee—and pray for our ministry.
• Easter distribution opportunities. • Youth Challenge is taking two teams to nationals April 23-26. Please pray for safe travels and spiritual growth.
• Upcoming Summer Camps: -Campers grow in faith. - Volunteers needed to operate each camp.

What Could be Sweeter? What Could be Sweeter? was the Halloween tract theme we passed out at the Brush’s Trick-O-Treat street. The beautiful weather brought out a large crowd.
