Covid managed to affect many areas of life, and one of those quite dramatically impacted was the Church. In the US church attendance is down about 33% from pre-covid times. During our prayer day we had three primary focuses for prayer, and one item for action. They were ... To Pray for God to raise up more church leaders Pray for continued growth in community outreach Pray for those who have not returned to church The action item what we were encouraged to do was to reach out to anyone that you know hasn't returned to church after the pandemic. The Invitation is something that YWAM does every month, and you can find out more about it on the web-site, ywam.org/theinvitation.

YWAM Saint Marc, Haiti Food Distribution Haiti is in the midst of one of the most difficult times in recent memory. Food shortages, cholera, little to no gasoline and armed gangs are all contributing to making life in Haiti extremely challenging. In the midst of this YWAM Haiti needs to make sure their campus can function, their staff is taken care of, they need to make sure their base is secure and their emergency protocols are in place. On top of all of that one of the most important things they are doing is reaching out to their community. There is a lot of need in the community, people are struggling, and hopelessness is creeping in. YWAM Haiti is continuing to be a light to the people around them, and are doing so in many different ways... In February they are going to have their annual Camp of Light, where 300-400 youth from the city come to their campus to play games, eat together, worship, and learn about Jesus. This is always such an impactful time and it will encourage those who come. They are also hosting a Valentines Gala, which is a beautiful event with food and music and an opportunity to share about God’s plan for relationships. This week YWAM put together bags of food for 400 people. The lack of food, and rising costs, have put many people in a vulnerable position when it comes to food security. Next week the YWAM teams will go out and deliver all the packages. They ask that we would pray that the people who receive the packages would know that God has heard their prayers, and loves them very much. Head over to their web-site,
