On Friday, March 28, thousands of Alabamians took time to pray for students, teachers, school administrators and support staff across the state in observance of Governor Dr. Robert Bentley's proclamation: "Day of Prayer Over Students Across Alabama." Students face an enormous amount of peer pressure to become part of what is considered normal by the world's standards. Adults were asked to pray continuously for students throughout the day as they are faced with challenges such as peer pressure to abuse drugs and alcohol, negative influences in the media, school violence and gang activities, fear and low self-esteem.

 

We would like to thank all those who took time to pray for our students. We would also like to thank the T.V. and radio stations, local newspapers, churches, and concerned parents and adults who helped us create awareness about this special and important day. Please find below media highlights from Day of Prayer.

Students need our prayers every day. Praying for the students in our area is not just a privilege...it is a necessity. Students live in a tough world! Each day students are subjected to literally thousands of offensive images and words. They also face an enormous amount of peer pressure to become part of what is considered normal by the world's standards. Without prayer these students will not be able to stand against the insurmountable odds they will face from childhood until they leave this world. Please do your part and pray over students and encourage them to be bold and share the message of Jesus Christ with other students. Below is a link to 24 Biblical virtues. Please pray these virtues over students when you remember them in prayer.
