Hi,

Will you pray with us every day through February for young people in Luton and across the UK? It's something can all do to make a difference and show that we care.

Young people are amazing. I don’t think I’d still be doing youth work if that wasn’t the case. They really are. They see the world differently. They challenge our assumptions. They engage with the world’s problems. Much more than I did at their age. I’m constantly inspired by the young people I meet. We need more of them in the church for sure.

Even for young people we meet who are struggling with big issues, that same amazing capacity is there, not always realised, but still there nonetheless. So, as you pray this month, we're not just praying for young people to have help where they need it, but also for all of us to pay greater attention to what they have to say and contribute to our world.

You're part of Youthscape mission by joining us in prayer, and I'm so glad to have you alongside us through this month. Let's pray together every day.

Chris
