Prayer Requests for January

Here are some things you can be praying for in the month of January:

  • Bible Studies --
    • Our first Bible Studies start the week of January 14th.  We will be studying the book of Matthew and asking students what it looks like to follow Jesus. 
    • For the first time, the Monday Bible study will be lead by two students (no staff!).  Please be praying for Nick and Becca as they lead together.  Shanan and Justin will be leading the Wednesday Bible study. And I (Samantha here) will be heading up the Thursday daytime study. 
  • Club Rush --
    • January 15th and 16th we will be participating in a club fair. The students came up with the idea to attract people with a game of cornhole and then invite them to Bible studies.  Each day we have at least 5 students signed up to help tell people about InterVarsity!
    • Please pray that students would be attracted to our table and that InterVarsity students would clearly and boldly share about Jesus and invite them to a Bible Study.
  • Athlete Dinner --
    • Our athlete dinner this month is January 18th! Please pray that our four regular athletes would be bold in inviting their friends to come!
  • Fight Team --
    • Our student fight team is made up of 10 students who desire to be active in sharing Jesus with the campus.  Please pray for the spiritual warfare they will face this semester, that God would protect them and that they would be bold and Spirit-filled.
    • Each student on the fight team has identified at least 2 fellow students that they are praying for and that they have committed to inviting to Bible studies, social events, trips, etc.  Please pray that God would work in the hearts of the 20 students they have identified!
  • Justin and Samantha --
    • We are finally starting to attend the young couples small group at our church.  Please pray that we would make friends and find community here.  Thank you!
