Prayer Requests:
As always, we are asking you to pray Luke 10.2 over each of the schools in this prayer guide. We know that God still answers Prayer.
1) 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.”


2) Some schools have started their Spring Semester. Others are
    waiting until February. Please pray for a fruitful semester as
    Christians on campus reach out to their peers.

3) With Christmas behind us, lets pray that the Christ of Christmas
    will linger in the thoughts and minds of students, faculty and staff.

4) Pray for the Christian clubs and organizations on campus. Ask God
    to give them wisdom and Holy Spirit ideas on how to reach students
    during the Covid-19 restrictions.

5) Pray for student leaders who have to juggle their school load, their
    ministry responsibilities and the Covid-19 pandemic.
