Prayer for college students: "Your life matters. In this moment, in this place, regardless of your last name, your status on the team, or the letter at the top of the exam - you matter. ... Trust in tomorrow, believe in the story, and hear now: your life matters." Dean Sikes
We are Christians interested in praying for the needs of students. While our primary purpose is to pray, we also want to encourage students directly by providing FAQs for financial aid, and sending out items such as videos, books or music. For campuses which do not have on site resources, we do fund raising to enable First Years to receive encouraging resources. This could be a fun bag of books, music, and an easy to read Bible. We also raise money to help send students to conferences such as Urbana, or on short term mission trips. We also sponsor concerts by Christian musicians.
We can bring in speakers. We view the prayers, help and encouragement we provide to students to be a tremendous investment in the kingdom of God. We wish to be a stabilizing force in the lives of students who are away from home, family, church, and friends. We also help with the fundraising efforts of new college ministry workers by connecting them with Christian alumni.
Mark 11:20-25
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
