Lord, I lift up our Youth Workers. Let these young men and women set an example in their speech, life, love, faith and purity. Cause them to be strong, alive-in-the-Word overcomers. Help them to have discernment as they deal with the young people in our church. Help them to notice any youth who lacks judgment so they can teach them to value Your life-giving principles. Pour out Your Spirit on them. (1 Tim. 4:12; 1 Jn 2:14; Prov. 3:21, 7:7; 7:2; Joel 2:28)
Note: Jon is available for speaking and consulting in churches. Because he is "on the road" a lot, email is the easiest way to reach him. His office phone is 812-446-9091, but he often goes days without being able to check messages. He seldom goes more than a day without checking email.
