Prayer Ministries, Les & Pat Markham We are the newly appointed BCYD District Prayer Directors and because we know prayer is vitally important, we have accepted this opportunity. We are currently looking into ways that we can enhance prayer ministries in the District which include ways to use the District website as well as other social media tools. As well we will also be meeting with our Cluster Leaders at our BCYD Cluster Leadership Retreat (Oct 7-9, 2013) to promote prayer at the District level. You will soon receive a three question survey for your input to help us know how we can best serve you and your church. You can reach us via email, prayer@bc.paoc.org.
