Pray for our readers

Ask God to anoint His Word and the testimonies in the paper.

Pray for wisdom and time needed to answer each reader's letter.

Pray for the volunteer workers who help in the follow-up department.

Overseas mailings come at the end of each quarter. Stuffing envelopes, wrapping packages and packing mail sacks is a big job. Please pray for us and our helpers.

Pray for a continuous supply of finances to keep the ministry operating and growing.

Join the Mailing Team:

You, your family, class or church can mail out single copies of the YOUTH paper. Already God has raised up a team that sends YOUTH to over 5000 young people, yet 1000 readers wait to be adopted.

Every three months we send to each member of the mailing team a quantity of YOUTH Papers (as many as the person indicated) with address and return labels. Mailers provide the envelopes, stamps (98¢ per envelope) and the prayers.

Team members pray for the paper's safe arrival, for the readers' salvation and for them to share their copies with others. By joining the team, you can make a difference in many lives!

Help with Printing and Mailing Costs:

All of the finances needed for printing and mailing the YOUTH PAPER are met through God-prompted donations from churches, foundations and individuals. One of our core values is to not solicit funds, which makes it all the more amazing to see the varied ways God meets our needs. He can use simple one-time gifts, donations given in memory of friends and relatives, and even legacies as He stirs the hearts of various ones to be a part of a vital ministry for the Kingdom of God.

Tax deductible receipts are available for all gifts sent to subsidize the printing and mailing of the YOUTH paper.

Representation:

Would you like to represent the YOUTH Paper Ministry in your area? We are praying for God to raise up men and women who would share with their church friends and neighbors the ministry of the YOUTH Paper and get them involved with us. If you realize the potential of sharing your faith through literature and have a burning heart to share it with others, please get in touch with us.

PRAYER GUIDE FOR THE YOUTH PAPER

Week One: Encouraging Believers

Ask the Lord for wisdom, purity and love in the churches overseas. Most of our brothers and sisters are surrounded by evil—witchcraft, animism, tribalism, Islam and corruption at all levels politically and economically. Pray that these wicked conditions (and our teaching articles and Bible studies) will cause Christians to draw closer to Jesus.

Bless the Gospel portions sent from our office. Pray that the recipients will have their eyes opened as they read—that there will be revival in their lives as the Lord moves them to repent from their sins.

Remember before the Lord the impoverished ones:

students who beseech us for finances and/or beg us to bring them to this country;

young pastors who have so very little; 3) orphans who lack funds for clothing, food and education.

Especially pray for church leaders who, with usually little training and limited resources, attempt great things for God. Pray that their knowledge of God’s Word will increase as they serve, and that they’ll see mighty deeds accomplished.

Week Two: Mobilization

Praise the Lord for all the churches and individuals involved in small to big ways in our quarterly mailing. Thank the Lord for those who already contribute toward its support with their finances and prayers so that we can continue to send a free two-year subscription of the YOUTH PAPER to all who ask for it. Pray for the health and welfare of these partners and ask the Lord to supply all their needs according to His riches in glory.

It is to God’s glory and credit that each quarter He provides the high costs of this ministry. Praise the Lord for His faithful provision and continue to ask Him to help with future issues and our follow-up department needs.

Please ask God to open doors for sharing the YOUTH paper ministry. For the work to grow, we need to see more churches, individuals and foundations involved with us.

Our web site carries the YOUTH paper and our newsletter, but we lack personnel to upgrade the materials. We also need to find a way to store back issues. As of December 2009, 96 of you are mailing out 4,569 single copies of the YOUTH paper. The constant flow of new readers’ letters means new readers on the mailing list are available for adoption.

Week Three: Evangelizing the Unreached

Pray for those who use the YOUTH paper in their evangelistic work. Hundreds of pastors, evangelists and youth workers receive bulk quantities. Pray for their ministries, that they may share Christ effectively.

Claim freedom in witnessing for the brethren in these developing nations. The Muslims are endeavoring to turn African countries into Islamic nations. Then, there will be no freedom of religion. They are persecuting Christians, destroying property and desire to curtail the preaching of the gospel. Also, in some countries, such as Ghana, some animist peoples are severely persecuting anyone who does not follow the traditions prescribed by the local god (via the witch doctor).

Pray for young people from a Muslim or animist background who are responding to the gospel, but receive hostility and persecution from parents, family and community.

Continue to intercede for Liberia where YOUTH began. Pray for continued peace, for the government, and for reconstruction. Pray for the Liberian churches as they aid the people.

Pray for unsaved readers of the YOUTH paper, that the Lord will grant understanding to their darkened minds.

Week Four: Home Office

For a number of years, a Hispanic pastor and his wife felt constrained to print for us. When their denomination transferred them to Tennessee, the Lord wonderfully provided another pastor to print for us. Rev Dan Allen pastored the Bible Fellowship Church in Ephrata, PA until his denomination asked him to oversea their camp grounds in the Poconos. Pray for him as he is very busy and for his equipment (a press and a folder).

Pray for Hellen Kuleskey as she looks to retire very soon. Pray for Eloise Patton as she steps into a new role of editing YOUTH and overseeing the ministry as a whole. Pray for wisdom, guidance, a love for writing and new team members. (updated Jan 2010) Also pray for Eloise as she will continue the work in the Follow-Up Department. Pray for compassion, flexibility and strength.

Join us in prayer for quarterly support to cover costs and expenses: printing (up to $1,600), postage (up to $2,600). These high amounts only allow us to print and mail 40% of what we should be sending. Also ask the Lord to provide the costs incurred in the Follow-up Dept. We respond to every letter and send Scriptures and tracts.

Pray for God’s choice and provision of interviews for the testimonies featured and for the writing of teaching articles. Pray for Dr John Stone who continues to write a commentary on Romans which is featured on page four. (In January 2010 he continues in Romans 8.)

Pray for H.R. who helps with letters/mailings.
