Draw Students and Faculty to Jesus as Savior and Lord
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5 TNIV
What does it mean that God’s kingdom is as the breaking of light into a dark space?
It means that we should see the impact of the presence of the light in the people, structures, and systems of the communities in which God calls us. The allegiance to Jesus that we invite students to consider is not one that just impacts their destiny and that safely is kept behind a curtain. No, this light is one that breaks forth into the dark crevices and corners all around us. One in which darkness can not stand in its presence.
Please pray that our communities would show the reality of this light as they engage new students this week.
God calls us to work on campuses and only a growing and connected community can see the mission move forward.
This year as a region we are prayerfully working toward 450 small groups in our four states and every campus we are present at (48+) engaged in intercession.
In addition to the multi-focus small groups, students and staff are planting small groups in focused communities like: Fraternities & Sororities, athletes, Asian American, Latino, Black, international, and refugees.
Is there one of these groups that you have a particular desire to see reached? Is their a Midwest campus (MO, IA, NE, KS) that you are connected to? Or students you know? Do you have an idea of how to link with us in intercession?
What might your part of that connected community be as we prayerfully work together this year?
What were the most important items you had on your packing list as you went to college or on your last big trip? My Sega Genesis topped the list for me but besides that I cannot remember one item that I brought with me to college.
My most significant memories were of what I found when I arrived at college, like the community to welcome me and introduce me to Jesus in a deeper way.
Right now millions of students are writing their list and packing their bags to enter our colleges and universities in the Midwest.
What is your prayer for what they would find waiting for them on campus? Write those in the comments below and lets pray together for these things.
