Praying for the mission

Hello,

I pray that you are doing well now that the semester has started. We know that there is so much to do - both personally and for ministry. In the midst of all your activities, I want to encourage you to slow down and take time to talk with our heavenly Father about your semester and the year 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 and talk with him telling him our desires, wants and needs and asking him to give these things to us. It is so amazing and wonderful that he listens to us and cares about our needs and desires! Praise God!

Philippians 4:5b-7 "The Lord is ever present with us. Don't be anxious about things; instead pray. Pray about everything. He longs to hear your requests, so talk to God about your need and be thankful for what has come. And know the peace of God (a peace that is beyond any and all of our human understanding) will stand watch over your hearts and minds in Jesus the Liberating King." (from The Voice Reader's New Testament)

I'm Praying for you
