9 to 9:30

Go through the agenda for the whole day
(explain to them that this is a time where they need to focus and listen to God for His revelation. Also tell them to relax and not to ponder on yesterday or tomorrow, but rather think on today and nothing but GOD!)

9:30 to 10:30

Pray on the New property!
(We had the Pastor help at this time. If you don't have a location that your church is moving to, you could go to a place like a school or something).

11 to 12

Guest Prayer

12 to 1

Fasting while we pray in the Sanctuary for the Church

1 to 2

Pray in Staff area (There are a lot of things to pray about in this area, like financial need and for the Lord to give your pastor wisdom).

2 to 3

Pray in all the Classrooms (Here we went to the main classroom and prayed for all the children that will come through the doors in the future. Then we went to every room and sung Sunday school songs, so that the songs may echo and ring into the ears of the unsaved children).

3 to 4

Guest Prayer

4 to 5

Let them go to their quite place by themselves in the same room ( probably in the gym or sanctuary). Then say this is probably your last time to talk to God and to listen to what He has to say. Give them a devotional about prayer to read while they are praying).

5 to 6

EAT!!! (Pizza)

6 to 7

Pray for the youth group and each other with different concerns.

7 to 8

We did a "Jericho March" around the neighborhood 7 times and then rung a bell or you can blow a whistle. Then we got at the corner and sung and shouted 2 Timothy 1:7.

Leader --- Are you Timid.

Youth --- No were not, POWER!

Leader --- Is what we GOT.

Youth --- LOVE!!

Leader --- To abolish all sins.

All --- And we wrap this up with discipline!

8 to 9

We then had a foot washing service. Separate the youth, girls in one room and the boys in the other. Pick songs in advance that talk about Jesus and his Love.

End in a circle and sing a song then pray

Extra Notes:

• At the beginning of every hour give them 10 minutes to get a drink of water and a bathroom break.
• At the end of every hour play the Bible on tape for 10 minutes.
• While they are praying, you can have worship music in the background.
• Next year we are thinking on just getting a van and go to house to house praying over people in our congregation.

The Results:

• Three youth got saved that night and they were not even apart of a church at all. There were three kids that tag along at the end to see what foot washing was. We had to show them love through foot washing before they would accept grace from God.
• We raised over $1,000 just with 11 youth participating and they grew spiritually.
