First Line of Defense
Thank you for your “yes” to care for and minister to the youth at the Steubenville Youth Conference!
The group leader and adult chaperones are the primary ministers to the youth on the weekend. Please be sure to share this information with all adult chaperones and religions in your group.
The Team of Prayer Ministers
Prayer Ministry Stations are located around the ballroom throughout all sessions. When not in sessions, prayer ministers will be stationed near the chapel. Prayer ministers will be wearing red shirts and/or “prayer ministry” lanyards.
Prayer ministers are there to be of assistance in an intercessory way to help teens experience Christ’s love, healing, and hope as much as possible. Please encourage the teens in your group to take an opportunity to pray with our Prayer Ministry Team. (Be sure that an adult accompanies the teen.)
Role of Prayer Ministry
The role of prayer ministry is to serve and support you and your chaperones by offering spiritual assistance to the youth in your group. Prayer ministers can assist you if there are several teens that need attention or if there is a particular situation that you and your chaperones are unsure how to handle.
Remaining Present
If a prayer minister does assist your youth, it is necessary to have an adult chaperone from your group present to watch over and pray with them. This is because it is the adult chaperone who will be going home with the youth. In addition, he or she can continue to pray for and with the youth at home if needed.
