Our teens and the X-treeme ministry need prayer! Everyone PRAY always and on all occasions! PRAY that when a speaker opens their mouth at an X-treeme Night, they would make known the mystery of the Gospel and God would drawn teens to HIMSELF!!! Pray for “Jesus” friendships to be made; where students would invite their friends to come and hear about and trust Jesus as Savior and Lord of their lives.
