A friend sent this quote over a few days ago: "He who has the youth, owns the future."Though pronounced by a very wicked man, none other than Adolf Hitler, he was accurate about this and so decided in his day to form a youth mobilization movement called “Hitler’s Youth”. His saying is, of course, still true for the world of today, and from a spiritual point of view, the youth are extremely important to the Lord and His purposes on earth.

• UPRISING (United Prayer Rising) Youth Prayer movement (www.unitedprayerrising.org) - A number of UPRISING assemblies have been going on over the last several months in various parts of the world. Next up is the Toronto UPRISING event, August 8-11, that is gathering hundreds of Millennials from across Canada and elsewhere in North America to be challenged in prayer and mission at this strategic time in their lives.Pray for His call to draw many more to register and come. Also, please also intercede for those of us who will be speaking-- that we will be anointed with His special word for them. May many of them be called to pray for and get involved in reaching the 5500 unreached people groups of our world, that still have little or no access to the Gospel.

The GLOBAL UPRISING will happen in Jakarta, Indonesia in January 2019. Please also be in prayer for the organizing team for His unity, wisdom and perseverance as they make all the arrangements and that the ones the Lord wants to come—up to 3000- from within Indonesia as well as the ends of the earth will be drawn to Jakarta for this special time. 

2)  The Children in Prayer movement has quietly spread to many nations of the world. There are now praying children in the millions who will become the next generation of men and women of God as they hear His call to serve Him in the various occupations to which He calls them.  Pray: that they will be well discipled and that the Lord will raise up youth and adults to mentor and encourage them in every nation. May this movement truly “go global” in the coming years! Pray: that CiP coordinators in various nations will be able to stay connected with one another to share helpful resources and encouragement and that the international CiP team will be able to anointedly and effectively guide this growing movement.
