Christian Holidays
for everyone

 

 
You Are Here: Home > Prayer & Action > Pray for the Summer

Pray for the Summer was born out of a desire to support residential youth and children’s work with prayer.

Keep praying for this summer's holidays! The dates for 2008 are the weekend of 14th and 15th June. Put them in your church diary now!

This year, over 50,000 young people and many thousands of leaders will be involved in a Christian residential experience. We know how powerfully God uses this work in young peoples lives; we also know the hurdles and potential dangers which leaders face in making it happen.



You can purchase Posters in our online shop.

The aims of Pray for the Summer are:

to encourage individuals, churches and groups to pray for the work going on this summer

to inform Christians about the scope and scale of residential youth work so that they can become active partners in the ministry through: prayer, giving and joining a team.

How to Get Involved

  • Pray! You can download information from this website which will help you to focus your praying
  • Get others together to pray: why not set aside an hour or two on 14th and 15th June 2008 at your church, inviting others to join you to Pray for the Summer? You can even order coasters and posters to advertise the event.
  • Church: ask your church leader to include some time Praying for the Summer in your services on Sunday 15th June
  • Fast: you may like to fast on Saturday 14th June as part of your Prayer for the Summer.

Who is Involved?

Pray for the Summer is being coordinated by CCI, an association of Christian centres, organisations and individuals involved in camps, holidays, conference and outdoor activity ministries.

On Sunday 15th June 2008 churches across the UK will highlight the need to pray for young people going on residential camps and holidays in the summer. Churches interview team members and young people who are planning to go away as part of their services. If your church wants to be involved then resources are available to download and buy on this area of the website. If you want someone local to come and speak please contact the CCI office.
