It’s now the first of March and the World Leadership Team and International Board will be gathering together at the YFCI office in Denver this week.  As we start off the week with the YFCI monthly day of Prayer and Fasting (see link for this month below), we would appreciate your concerted prayers for these meetings.

It’s been great to see prayers being lifted up among the ladies of HATS.  We hope you like the new HATS banner and will enjoy the new resource that will be introduced in the coming weeks.  Please continue to invite YFC women to join us on this journey.  May the Lord bless you with strength and peace!  -The HATS Team

YFCI Day of Prayer and Fasting – March, 2015

Psalm 29:3,4 “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.” (link to all of Psalm 29)

Last month our theme was about God’s calling on your life.  Our theme for the month of March is “LISTENING TO GOD’S VOICE”.  How do you hear God’s voice and respond to Him?  Please feel free to send us an e-mail at hats@yfci.org or post your contribution on Facebook.

January has flown by and we are now into the second month of 2015! The HATS Team has been working with the tools we have access to and we have been busy updating and consolidating our databases. If you feel that your time being a part of HATS has come to an end, please feel free to unsubscribe (please click on the unsubscribe button either above or below). If you want to remain on the HATS list, please keep reading!

Currently there are 350 on our e-mail list and 50 who have now joined the HATS secret group on Facebook. We are linking the women of YFC into the YFCI monthly day of Prayer and Fasting on the first Monday of the month (see link for this month below) and welcoming prayer requests both on Facebook and at the hats@yfci.org e-mail address. We are also looking forward to introducing a new resource in March. Please continue to spread the word that we are connecting the women of YFC via e-mail and Facebook! Thank you!  -The HATS Team

YFCI Day of Prayer and Fasting – February, 2015

Philippians 3:13-14 “. . .Sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” 

It has now been two months since GA and we are looking to get some momentum going with the women of YFC!

We have created a new secret group on Facebook and we have been adding people as we hear of interest and input addresses.  If you would like to join us, please write us at hats@yfci.org and we will send you an invitation to join the group.

There are challenges to communicating in any family – different personalities, different gifts sets, different languages, different love languages.  We ask for your patience as we find our way forward in communicating together.  We want this to be a safe place to share.  We don’t want it to be labour intensive, but rather full of blessings for you.

To start with, we thought that we would pick a theme for each month and ask you to post contributions surrounding that theme – a photo, a verse, a poem, a prayer. . .Then on the first Monday of each month we would ask you to join us for the YFC International Day of Prayer and Fasting.  As we start to interact, pray through the posts, pray through the countries where YFC is represented, pray for the challenges and joys.  For this month of December we would like to celebrate the birth of Christ and encourage you to share your favourite traditions, photos, and thoughts around the advent season.

We would also like to hear your ideas for connecting from your context.  We realize that time is a premium wherever we are but if you want to share your gifts with YFC women around the world in 2015, please let us know how you would like to be involved – writing, translating, intercession, counselling, photography, artwork, recipes, cultural understanding, web administration, etc.

Thank you for being a part of this great YFC family joining our hands across the seas. . .
