The Invitation, July 13, 2023
The Send is a stadium experience with the purpose of activating believers to live a missional lifestyle by adopting and reaching real mission fields at home and abroad. The Send partners with local and international organizations and churches to help onramp individuals who feel inspired by the Holy Spirit at an event and coaches them through the process to get them equipped and sent into their desired mission field. The Send week will be taking place in four different locations in the United States over the next year: Lancaster, Pennsylvania (July 31-August 4); Grand Rapids, Michigan (August 30-September 1); Boston, Massachusetts (September 13-15); and Nashville, Tennessee (January 29-February 2). Please take a moment right now to pray for The Send events and please also pray with us on July 13, our prayer day for YWAM’s prayer initiative called The Invitation.
- Pray that God brings the right people to our gatherings in the four USA locations over the next year. It’s more than tickets sold–it’s an opportunity for a life to be transformed. Please pray that as individuals show up, they will be gripped with the message of “Go.”
- High schools: Please pray that thousands of Jesus Clubs are planted in local high schools.
- Universities: Please pray that a new student volunteer movement would grip the hearts of Gen Z, particularly within the universities.
- Local churches: Please pray that local churches would be strengthened and encouraged. Pray that practical needs would be met and evangelism would become the center of conversation for each church.
- Nations: Please pray that different organizations would be able to accept, train, and send Gen Z to impact the nations.
- Vulnerable children: Please pray that there would be a greater awareness of this issue and that people would be moved to take responsibility for vulnerable children in their communities.
- Pray for the spirit of unity for our teams. Please pray that there would be no division large or small within our teams. Please also pray for guidance as The Send teams are exploring future events in many countries.

How We Prayed
Haiti, June 8, 2023
YWAM Vancouver, Canada prayed for families in Haiti, for churches, for freedom from the cycle of violence and corruption, and for good businesses. They prayed for, “A new chapter, a new season of growth in Haiti’s history.”
- In the Take Action section, one YWAM location in Haiti was accidentally left off the list. Please visit the website for YWAM Les Cayes, Haiti: www.ywamlescayes.com.
