Hello, church family!
It has been a smooth start to the ministry year with Young Families. We have been seeing 3-6 young moms come to the program weekly, and our staff are connecting one-to-one with 15 young moms in total (including those 3-6). Jeff, the new staff member who will be mentoring young dads, has been able to start meeting with 2 young dads, and we are so thankful for that!
Thank you for your support and prayers. This community has been so encouraging to me, and I appreciate you greatly.
Prayer Requests:
- For the youth trying to co-parent with difficult people, pray for an extra measure of patience for them.
- For the youth who are pregnant, that their pregnancies, delivery, and postpartum season would be peaceful and that they would feel supported.
- For the youth who are in school or working full time, they make time to rest.
- For consistency: the gloomy season tends to mean we see less of the youth,
even though this is usually when they need the most support.
- For Jeff (young dads staff) as he connects with 2 of the young dads
Financial & Material Needs:
We need to increase our supply of diapers and wipes. Every week, we give a sleeve of diapers and a pack of wipes to each family. We rely on diaper drives and donations for this, and our stock is getting low. Please contact me if you are able to give in this way, and I can provide you with the different diaper sizes that are most needed.
Due to a cost of living wage increase and a couple of increased ministry expenses, I am looking for 10 people who are able to donate $50/month. If you or anyone you know is looking to invest in this ministry to young parents in Surrey, please contact me or go to https://www.youthunlimited.com/donate?pre=6200-8382 to donate!
**Any amount is helpful; the cumulative amount needed is $500/month.**
Blessings, Becca
