     with God.
2) As the Summer break is creeping up on us, please pray for the students, staff,
     faculty, and administration, that they will encounter the Holy Spirit during the
     break and come back in the Fall ready to share their faith.
3) Please pray that God will send a student awakening to the campuses of higher
     education all across our country.
4) Please pray that the Holy Spirit will convict people on campus of sin.
5) Jesus said in Luke 10.2 “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;
     therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
