Prayer Requests


UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Thank you for your faithful prayers through this academic year. There have been many answers to your prayers, and God has truly blessed our students. Now that summer has arrived, students are busy trying to make the most of it, both with leisure activities, internships, and work. Please pray for our students to be bold in their faith off-campus, and to persevere in prayer and reading Scripture throughout the summer break.

CITY MINISTRIES
We're excited for the upcoming CU Cities Conference this Friday and Saturday. Please pray for speakers and attendees as we address what it means to be Courageous in the Ways of the Lord, taken from 2 Chronicles 7. Pray that we will become more faithful, skillful, and courageous as we engage our cities with the gospel of Jesus Christ; that we will build networks of thoughtful Christians as we do this in community; that we will be courageous in our own lives as we live faithfully and righteously.

DAY & NIGHT

Please pray for the leadership of Day and Night. Pray for wisdom and spiritual insight. Pray that we will know how best to equip and inspire Christians around the nation to seek God for national revival. Ask God to provide every resource that is needed to fulfill this mission.
