WAYS TO PRAY FOR MISSION SCRANTON, SUMMER 2025!
CAMP K WEEK FOR TEENS
(June 15-20)
We are on track to have 20 teens go to a week of Camp Kanesatake thanks to our financial partners! Pray for each of our teens as this becomes one of the best life-changing opportunity weeks of the year for our teens. Many have made decisions to put their faith in Jesus or take steps of growth in their life.
NEIGHBORHOOD and family ministry
(June-August)
This summer, there we are excited to go back to the neighborhoods, Valley View Terrace and Hilltop Apartments to run our outdoor programs for the kids! Pray for:
- Our continued mentorship to current students.
- Building new relationships with students and families in the neighborhoods.
- This summer we are going to focus on building stronger relationships with the parents.
NEIGHBORHOOD VBS WEEK WITH STEAMTOWN CHURCH
(July 14-18)
This summer will be our 4th annual neighborhood outreach program that we call the Hilltop VBS week. We are excited to partner with Steamtown Church again to bring hope, love, joy, and fun to the south side neighborhoods for a week in July! Pray for life-change and enough volunteer teammates to make this possible for the kids and families!
TEEN MINISTRY
(June-August)
This summer we have to get more creative in continuing ministry with our teens in creative ways as we don’t have enough volunteers to keep running weekly gatherings of teens that is bigger than it ever has been before for us, reaching 70+ teens. We are going to do more smaller group based outings, activities, and a couple of bigger events this summer! We need prayer for God to work in these unique opportunities as we build up our teen ministry team(s) for the fall.
Strengthen volunteer teams
As mentioned before, our amount of students we are reaching is outgrowing our volunteer and staff bandwidth of 20-25 people spread split up between three different ministry teams. We could use prayer for the strengthening of our current teams and bringing on more of the right mission-minded teammates from now until the fall.
strengthen partner team
We have close to 70 individuals and churches who partner ministry through monthly giving. We are growing in more help in providing meals for our weekly programs and could use more people to join us in feeding our students every time we serve them. We need more churches and individuals to go the extra mile with us to grow our financial/resource strength to sustain and grow what God is doing here in Scranton!
