“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” – James 5:16
Theme Verse
PRAYER THAT MOVES
Prayer That Moves was a powerful weekend where we discovered the transformative power of prayer. Through dynamic sessions, worship, and personal reflection, we learned how prayer can move mountains, shift atmospheres, and change hearts. Whether seeking breakthrough, guidance, or deeper intimacy with God, the youth were empowered to pray with boldness and faith, knowing that God hears and responds. We discovered the transformative power of prayer and embraced a life where our prayers truly make a difference!
This retreat is designed for young people ages 12-20, but families are also welcome to attend. Whether you’re seeking spiritual growth, a supportive community, or simply a weekend of fun and fellowship, you’ll find it all at AYM Midwest. Stay tuned for updates about upcoming retreats!
