Prayer Requests for Every Campus 

 

Prayer Zone LogoWe can't wait to see how God is going to move on our campuses this school year. Students need our constant prayers. As this new school year begins, please take time to lift up students, teachers, principals and parents in your prayers. Below are prayer requests for every campus. Please lift these up in prayer as school begins.

 

- Pray for those who don't know Christ as their Savior at the school and that God will open their eyes, ears and minds for the Truth and for the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

- Pray for the Christian students at the school, asking God to strengthen and encourage them, to give them boldness for their faith, and to provide them opportunities to share their faith with others on their campus.

- Pray for the Christian teachers, staff and administrators at the school, asking God to encourage them, give them wisdom and discernment, and opportunities for them to teach Truth to their students.

- Pray for God to raise-up student leaders at the school who will stand up for their faith and carry-out an evangelistic strategy on their campus through establishing a campus ministry (such as First Priority). If a student-led, evangelistic ministry already exists on your campus, pray for the students, Teacher Sponsors and Campus Coaches.

- Pray for God to burden the hearts of students, teachers, parents and local business people for this generation of young people who are lost and wandering without Christ.

- Pray for God to raise-up local churches and ministers who see the campus as a mission field, will pray for the campus, will empower their students as campus missionaries, and will actively meet the physical and spiritual needs of the school.

- Pray for God to bring unity to the Body of Christ to reach a generation with the Gospel and to carry-out a common strategy to win a generation for Christ!
