YMTG is recruiting 300 Host Families to house about 400 international volunteers here in Singapore during the Games. If you have a heart for hospitality, and desire to bless our nation through this avenue, click on to find out more!

Share your hearts, open your homes!

• Pray for the Plenary and Workshop Speakers, that they will receive the word that God wants to give to the Conference, and the message will be so clearly communicated and the people will respond to the call for evangelism, both as a corporate body of Christ and in their individual lives.
• Pray for the worship teams from the different youth ministries that will be leading worship, that they will be united as a worship team and in their time of preparation, they will seek the holiness of God in their lives and as a band. That they will be freed to worship from the overflow of their hearts.
Pray for the Committee, in the run-up to the Conference, for favour as they continue to work with the vendors of products and services to get the best rates and quality for the Conference Packs, T-shirts, catering, logistics, etc.
• Pray for the volunteers and helpers that as they serve, they will have hearts that rejoice in giving. Also pray for the Program ICs for God’s grace to attend to the details of the Conference.
Pray for the delegates, that they will be ready to face their struggles with personal evangelism, and that they will learn and be impacted from the sessions and the workshops and be empowered to take on evangelism in their personal lives.
Pray for the finances of the Conference, that the committee will be good stewards of the resources and that God will continue to pour out His blessings for His glory.

We have sent a letter of invitation to Minister Vivian Balakrishnan to be the Guest of Honour for LoudFest. Pray for favour and that he will agree to grace the event.
• We have sent an application to SHINE for a grant. Pray for favour, that SHINE will give us the grant of $20,000 to cover part of the expenses for LoudFest. Their reply will come in 1-2 weeks’ time.
• We are in the midst of printing 6000 postcards to publicize LoudFest. They will go into YFC’s goodie bags for TeenGames’ soccer teams, delegates at Ignite Conference 2010, and youth ministries to give to their friends. Pray that these collateral will indeed go far to draw people to LoudFest in July.
The recruitment of performances and helpers have started. Pray for support from the local church, that they will see the value and the potential of this platform to be a blessing to their friends and community.
Pray for Jonathan Wong as he leads the team in organising an event of this scale. Pray that God will enable him to lead with vision and foresight, wisdom and strategy, to make this an unforgettable experience for the youths to truly live their lives beyond the finish line.
Pray for provision of finances and sponsorships.
Pray for good weather on the 17th and 18th of July.

Home Stay

• Thanksgiving for favour that SYOG has taken up YMTG’s offer to provide a homestay program. Pray that as we will be able to finalise the details with SYOG by next week.
• We have been blessed with 2 volunteers through Andy and 2 interns who have come from China to help out with the administration for Home Stay. Pray for God’s provision for them as they have left their homes to support us here in Singapore. Pray that they will be enriched in their 3 months stay in Singapore through the exposure that they will receive in this season.
• Pray that God will see to the details of the liaisons between the host family and the volunteer, the matching process and the administration that comes with it. That both sides will be incredibly blessed through this opportunity to give and receive from one another.
• Pray that churches and their members will rise up to offer their homes and we will be able to have up to 300 homes for this program.
