Prayer Requests


UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Please pray that many students will discover the truth about Jesus in this new semester and that they will place their faith in Him. Ask God to give boldness to each member of the ministry teams to speak truth to students, faculty, and staff on their campuses. May God demonstrate His love and abundant mercy in unmistakable ways.

CITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for college seniors as they embark on their last semester and prepare for their transition to the marketplace — a significant change in the context within which to live faithfully and consequentially for the Kingdom. Many will move to New York and Washington, DC, for this journey, and we have a great deal of anticipation for them over the next six months.

DAY & NIGHT

Please pray for the Great Experiment, coming soon, March 1-10, 2019. Pray that thousands of American Christians join us as we seek God and share the Gospel in focused and faith-stretching ways these ten days. Our nation needs the gospel of Jesus Christ; pray that the Church rises up to meet the need through the Great Experiment. Find out more and sign up today at dayandnight.org.
