Prayer Focus:

Pray for Speakers and Focus Group Leaders and Creative Arts Groups

• For General Shaw Clifton and Commissioner Helen Clifton as they speak to and with the young people. 
• For the new Chief of the Staff Commissioner Barry Swanson and Commissioner Sue Swanson as they greet many of their young people for the first time.
• For Focus Group Leaders and Bible Study Leaders as they prepare their topics
• For Creative Arts groups participating in ministry during the WYC

Pray for Delegates and Leaders

• For delegate passports, visas, travel documents – that they may be received in time to travel
• For safe travel – many will be travel several days from remote areas.
• For Territorial Youth Secretaries and other leaders accompanying delegates

Pray for finances – This is a huge investment for the Army in these days.  We have been blessed by the giving of territories and commands. 

• Pray we raise adequate funds
• Pray for those who may wish to assist financially in any way

Pray for communication

The WYC will connect the world through the internet and via live-streaming of events from Sweden to the world and from the world to Sweden.  We are an inter-connected Army and this may be the largest gathering of Salvationists ever! Pray for the staff working on communications both at the venues and around the world.

Pray for all involved in planning WYC

• For the Planning Group representing every zone
• For the Planning Group in Sweden who is doing much of the ‘leg-work’ on site.
• For the more than 200 volunteers who will be working night and day to facilitate every detail of the WYC.
