Happy May from Ablaze Ministries!
Our monthly Prayer Newsletter shows current ministry intentions as well as individual intentions from our staff. We ask that you offer all intentions up at Mass, pray for them before the Eucharist, or pray over them and our team in your daily prayer time.
We are incredibly thankful for all who attended our annual Ablaze Ministries Benefit Dinner. We exceeded our fundraising goal for the night because of your donations and your prayers. So please join us in a prayer of thanksgiving for the tremendous support we have received.
During this month of May, our missionaries are taking some well-deserved rest before preparing for all of our summer trainings and ministry events! Thank you for keeping us in your prayers as we do God's work.

The Missionaries God is Calling to Our Team
We are always looking for incredibly passionate men & women to live out the mission of the Church. So please pray for those He is calling to join our team. We have positions open for both middle school and high school youth ministers, so if you know of anyone you think would be a great fit for our team, please encourage them to discern our ministry! More info here.
Requests that would bless our ministry, that we need prayers for:
Summer Events and Ministry Programs
Across all of our ministries, many teens will attend an event or summer youth group. We pray for their openness this summer and that the Holy Spirit becomes powerful in their lives.
Monthly Partners for Our Missionaries
Ablaze Missionaries fundraise their salary while serving in ministry. We pray that those called to supporting a missionary have courage to do so, and for our missionaries to meet their fundraising goals.
Thank you for your continued prayers and for entrusting our ministries to Christ and His holy will. Please ask our Lady to present these intentions to her Son, and to pray for them as well.
In His Peace,
the Ablaze Ministries team
