1st Six Weeks: Prayer for the mission

Hello, we pray that you are doing well and are eager for the beginning of the semester. We know that there is so much to do - both personally and for ministry.

In the midst of all your activities, we want to encourage you to slow down and take time to talk with our heavenly Father about the semester ahead.

Some ideas to help prayer happen for you and others in your ministry:

• Gather with other ministry leaders for a special time of prayer. Pray for His leading, wisdom and direction. Pray for unity for the leadership team. Pray for the incoming freshmen class. Pray for students to come to Christ.
• Prayer walk - go out on your campus and pray as you walk. Pray for what you see. Pray for administrators as you walk past an office building, pray for the athletes as you cross the playing fields. Pray for freshmen as you walk past the dorms. Prayer walking is powerful!
• For the next few weeks, send out a daily email to others in your ministry asking them to pray for a specific topic or aspect of your ministry. (keep it short or it won't get read!)
• Ask your church or Sunday School class to pray for you and the ministry on campus. Give them specific prayer requests.

Prayer is a wonderful privilege, how amazing that we can approach the God of the universe with our request. He hears us, He cares, and He answers! Praise God!

Colossians 4:2 "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."
