Prayer Request:
1) Luke 10.2 We continue to ask to Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into the harvest field of college and university campuses.

2) Please continue to pray for a revival among the Christians students, faculty, and staff.

3) Pray that the revival will turn into an awakening among the non-Christian student, faculty, and staff.

4) Please pray for the students who may be living on campus. Pray for sexual purity in the dorms and on campus.

5) Please remember to pray for any international students who may be on campus. We are praying that they would be exposed to the gospel and receive Jesus as their savior. Pray for those who make a commitment to Christ, that when they return home, they would stand strong as a witness for Christ.
