Youth Action Ministries September Newsletter

​

Hello from Tony Rizzo, America's Youth Evangelist,

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15

Thank you so very much for your continued prayers. You are indeed a massive encouragement to Becky and me. We really could not move forward each day without our prayer supporters like yourself.

August/September Ministry Update

August was a profitable month as we concluded the summer, ministering to many youths with the gospel. Once again, we held our final Youth Safety Zone meetings, and over 200 students participated in our last two Youth Safety Zones. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf. We are preparing for several Youth Safety Zones this month and hope to minister to an additional 500 students and parents.

​One Book One Soul Program​

Our special program, "One Book One Soul," is coming along well. We are asking our friends in this ministry to help us raise 150 books to hand out to the many students who attend our Youth Safety Zones. Of course, our December Safety Zone is our most significant outreach this Winter. Please keep us in your prayers regarding this special need. You can help us by purchasing a book from our Amazon wish list called "One Book One Soul." Check it out here:

Ministry Impact This Year

So far this year, we have taken the gospel to over 1,100 students and parents. Our goal of reaching one thousand teenagers has surpassed our stated goal—really, our dream of sharing the gospel with as many students as possible. We are on schedule to reach up to 1,600 students and parents through our evangelistic Safety Zone outreaches over the past 12 months.

Prayer Request for Becky

Becky is still learning and strategizing about her different pain management options. Ever since January 2024, she has been dealing with a virus that changed her autoimmune system, and she has been dealing with ongoing pain in the upper part of her body. Please keep her in your prayers. We will update you on her progress in this area. She continues to teach children at a local Christian school, where she truly ministers the gospel to these children and their parents, loving them in Christ and sharing the gospel with them every day. Thank you for praying for her.

Ministry Schedule and Digital Outreach

I am keeping at it six days a week. I'm in my office preparing messages for our digital "Youthfluential" ministry during straight office hours from 4:00 to 10:00 each morning. Then later in the day, we minister through our Safety Zone ministry. Please keep us in your prayers each day as we have opportunities to talk and preach to the many students we meet.

Scholarship Program

We have an ongoing scholarship program for many students we meet, helping them with school supplies and other necessities. Please keep us in prayer as we minister to these students.

Thank you again for your faithful partnership in prayer and support.

Special Prayer Request

1. Tony is traveling to several Evangelism and Family conferences this FALL. Please keep Tony in your prayers as he prepares the various messages and presentations.
2. Ongoing Health Challenges: We ask for your continued prayers as Becky is learning to manage ongoing pain. The virus she battled in early 2024 has left a significant impact on her body. Your prayers are deeply appreciated as she adjusts to these challenges and continues serving despite them.
3. Please pray for our Safety Zones Outreaches in 2025 to reach 1000 students for Christ.
4. Please remember us in your prayers as we travel to Kensington to minister to the needy there. We have a fantastic wish list available on our website at www.YouthActionMinistries.com. We would appreciate it if you could help us with our supplies. Thank you

In Christ's Love,
