Prayer Request
1) For the most part colleges and universities across the country are planning
     their summer break. Pray that they will not lose all the work the Holy Spirit
     accomplished during the last academic year.
2) Please pray for these Christian students. Pray that they will not only hear, but
      internalize the truths of the Gospel
3) Please pray for the faculty, staff, and administration. Pray that they will
      exemplify Christian character and integrity.
4) Please pray that God will call people from this school into full time ministry:
      “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord
      of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” Luke 10.2.
