One of the pioneers of YFC Nigeria has been killed – 79-year old Professor Albert Ilemobade. Please pray for his family and all whom he mentored and fathered as a leader in the church and in YFC. I suggest we also pray for the attackers who have been apprehended. Jesus died for them, too.

Urgent Prayer Request: Jenny Ens (daughter of Eric and Mary Ens) was in a serious accident tonight near Ottawa. The bus she was on collided with a transport truck. Jenny has serious facial lacerations and other injuries and is using a breathing tube. Eric and Mary are flying to Ottawa to be with her. Please pray! We will keep you updated.

1- Bosco and I are expecting a baby in 3 months and praying with us would be really great.
2- We continue to pray for our mother Marina whom we miss a lot at work due to the sickness.
3- We remember ladies in Burundi as the situation is worsening and some are refugees already. May God hear our prayers.
Hands Across The Seas – June, 2015
This past month the Area and Regional Directors met together in South Africa for worship, training, and discernment. A highlight was to get to know each team member a bit better and to hear about their families and the contexts they live and work within.
While last month we were challenged to pray scripture for the children and youth in our lives, this month we will focus on the wider family that makes up ONE YFC. Please join with us this Monday, June 1 for YFCI’s monthly Day of Prayer and Fasting (see link below). Each week YFCI sends out prayer items from one of the four Areas, plus any immediate prayer/praise items that have surfaced from anywhere in the world, and a spiritual nugget from Geordon. You can access the weekly e-Pray global at ePray Global or by signing up to receive the weekly e-mail at ePray.
Do you have a story to share from your context as you interact with YFC from around the world? We welcome your e-mails and/or Facebook posts throughout this month on the theme of ONE YFC.
Special prayer request / opportunity to get involved:
As some members of our HATS team transition in the next month, we are looking for others who would have an interest in helping with the HATS ministry. Please contact us via Facebook or at hats@yfci.org. Thank you!
