January Prayer Requests

It's a new year and this year we want to cover what we do in prayer... here's how you can specifically be praying for us this January.  

1. Pray for the 3,000 full-time staff with Kathryn in St. Louis this week as they learn how to develop world changers during Staff Conference 2014.  This triennial meeting refreshes staff while providing training and vision for the future.  

2. Pray for the 20-25 Fredonia IV students who will be participating in the Winter Service Trip January 20-25th.  Erin S is coordinating the trip this year with the outreach team and many others taking a role in the planning.  It is intense planning preparing all of the details for the missions trip.  

3. Pray for God to work and move during the trip.  The changes this year are designed to challenge and teach the participants to rely on God, praying and trusting that He is moving on campus and in the community. 

4. Pray for all the new international students to have open hearts to God working in our lives through game time every night of their orientation and our trip.  Pray for genuine friendships to begin between the IV and international students and for opportunities to share the gospel to exist, both during the trip and throughout the semester.  

5. Pray for students to be motivated to continue to live out Matthew 25:36-26:1 when the semester begins and to be on fire to reach the campus. 

6. Pray for new small groups to begin (goal is 10 total this semester) and for students to begin reading the Bible with their nonChristian friends.  

7. Pray for many new contacts during the first three weeks of school to help grow the chapter to more effectively see students and faculty transformed and the campus renewed. 

8. Pray for the Price of Life as Erin and her team, supervised by staff Greg Bacon, prepare to share the gospel through the lens of human trafficking and raise awareness on campus. 

9. Pray for the Winter Summit, a one day training in leadership and evangelism being held at Fredonia February 8th this year for the WNY area chapters.  Pray that Kathryn will finalize all of the logistical details, for a large turnout, and to find open hearts during the practical evangelism piece. 

10. Lastly, please pray for Kathryn's support raising as she invites people to partner with her to reach the final 28% of her goal.
