District Blitz '09
North Central EFC Student Comference
Be in prayer for our students traveling to Duluth this weekend (leaving Friday 3:15 pm) for Districts. We have twenty kids going and three leaders. They're in for a great time with speaker Sean McDowell who seeks to reach the heart and minds of youth. Sean is author of "Ethix: Being Bold in a Whatever World" which reminds students to realize that truth should be the guiding principle for what we believe, and as a result, how we live our lives. "Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. If Christian teens desire to live as vibrant disciples for Jesus Christ they must learn what it means to love God with their passions, their innermost being, and to think critically with their minds." -McDowell

Students will be led in worship by popular Christian singing group of four brothers, Remedy Drive.

Glenn Olson, Director of Student Ministries, North Central District, is asking for everyone to pray specifically for this weekend. Below are the requests he sent out via email to all district churches. Please partner with others and pray.

1. Pray for God’s message given through speaker, Sean McDowell
2. Pray for the worship led by Remedy Drive
3. Pray for the offering project that will go to building a well in the Congo through EFCA ReachGlobal – goal is $4500.
4. Pray for the seminar leaders as they teach, equip, and train students in various areas of their lives.
5. Pray for the youth leaders to have great wisdom and discernment as they interact with students about a variety of topics.
6. Pray for the set up and smooth running of all aspects (rally lights, sound, video, registration, seminars, housing, etc.)
7. Pray for the Prayer Army as they prepare their hearts and intercede for others during the rally.
8. Pray for great unity, small group times, everyone living the example of Christ to Duluth
9. Pray for the conference leadership team


Thank you for your prayers for these students and leaders.
