Prayer Partner Ministry Coordinator
Qualifications:
Encouragement and Faith
Duties:
Vision: Prayer changes lives. Each year we try to provide each youth of Braddock Street United Methodist Church an adult who will lift them up in regular prayer. This is an anonymous ministry. The youth will know someone is praying for them, just not who specifically. You will receive a letter telling the youth’s name, grade, school, address and birthday.
You are encouraged to send regular ANONYMOUS notes to your youth (suggested monthly) reminding them you are praying for them. No gifts please, just cards and letters. This is the gift of prayer. In May we will have a Sunday evening Prayer Partner Service where you will meet your youth and worship together.
