Four members of the McDiarmid Alliance Church worship team, Brandon Exalt Team, had a great idea of getting together for a praise and worship evening with friends and their church youth last October.  The event was planned in 4 days and brought over 100 youth together in song.

A second event was planned for January and the team was amazed to see over 300 youth join them in praise and worship!  It didn't take long for this group to see they had a powerful way to share the gospel to a larger crowd.

"This next event is able to be hosted at the Riverbank thanks to Exalts partnership with Unite in Prayer," shares event co-coordinator, Carter Dupuis. "We anticipate this upcoming event will have an amazing turnout as we already know of surrounding communities that plan to bring a large number of youth to experience the movement that is happening in Westman!  It promises to be a fun and impactful experience for all attendees." 

This Sunday the Brandon Exalt Team is partnering with Unite in Prayer, an initiative spearheaded by the Brandon Ministerial Association for an evening of praise and worship and prayer for the City of Brandon, and really for all of Westman.

"Unite in Prayer is a prayer movement that started in Brandon recently by a man named, Kevin Doerksen, who wants to bring all of the churches in Brandon together, all demographics together, all ages together under the Name of Jesus to pray for the city," explains Dupuis. "We've combined that with our passion for worship and his passion for prayer."

"Please feel free to come," he adds. "It will be a very Christ-centered night.  We just want it to be an open invite to everyone in the city of Brandon where they can come and experience God."

Dupuis notes some communities outside of the city are organizing busloads of youth groups to join them on the Sunday evening praise and worship time together.
