VAY/EM invites you to our annual prayer gathering in the new year!

Come join us as we gather to pray for God’s kingdom to come and His will be done in our lives and in the world.

VAY/EM participated in many events in 2025 and we met many of you at the pastors’ conference, EMC, LIFE conference and at our online training events. Many of you joined your VAY region for camps, conferences and gatherings but we also want to see our extended VAY/EM family across the country in our 9 regions come together.

Come represent your region, connect with others and pray together as we seek the Lord together in the new year.
