Prayer Requests:
1) First and foremost, we are praying Luke 10.2 “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (NASB)

2) Pray that this summer God calls people specifically to this school, students, staff and faculty.

3) Pray for the student groups. Pray that their summer preparation will go smoothly and that they will be positioned, this fall, to see a harvest.

4) Pray for a revival among the Christian students. Pray that the revival will spread to an awakening for the whole campus.

5)  Pray for the international students, that they will come to know the Lord. Some will return home to countries without an adequate gospel witness.
