Prayer Requests:
1) Luke 10.2 “And He was saying to them, “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) Young adults and college students are being hit very hard during the Covid-19 pandemic. Please pray that they will seek out fellowship and a remedy for loneliness.

3) As the semester draws to an end, please pray that Christian students will have a boldness and wisdom to speak the truth.

4) Please pray for the students who are under a lot of stress during the last weeks of classes. Pray for the students to find “God Appointments” instead of seeking stress release in alcohol, drugs and sex.
